Writers Retreat Poolewe, The Writers Retreat Poolewe, Achnasheen

Escape the daily grind with this romantic retreat overlooking Loch Ewe. Situated in the grounds of Pool House, this idyllic refuge is the perfect base to enjoy walking, cycling, fishing, golf and watersports. Home to beautiful mountains, hills, lochs and waterfalls, the road to this property is listed as one of the top ten most scenic drives in the world. Once here, the tastefully decorated boathouse offers spacious and open-plan accommodation complete with a cosy wood burner, mood lighting and Sky TV, should you be able to draw your attention away from the spectacular waterside view. Perfect for romantic getaways, the accommodation is cosy and welcoming, complete with underfloor heating, a wood burner and delightful king-size bed set into an inviting alcove. Despite its remote location, the TV has Sky Entertainment Plus, allowing you to curl up in front of your favourite film at the end of a long day. From the living space, large patio doors open onto the lawn garden, creating an al fresco feel all year round. After a restful night’s sleep in the boathouse, make your way to the charming shepherd’s hut next door to prepare a traditional Scottish breakfast in the kitchen/diner. This quirky space adds a further element of charm to this unique property. When the weather is warm enough, dine al fresco on the driftwood table and chairs, which overlook the loch and mountains beyond. Or relax and rejuvenate in the private hot tub while enjoying a well-deserved glass of bubbly after a long day on foot.
