The cottage is detached and is set in an elevated position overlooking the village. This delightful self catering holiday home affords a very private position with lovely views over the surrounding hills, the river Toscaig and Loch Toscaig, Tigh-A-Creagan has recently been refurbished and the owners have created a very cosy cottage with a mix of traditional and modern furnishings, the focal point in the sitting room being the lovely open fire.

If you have not visited the Applecross peninsula before you will like most visitors be capitivated by its landscape, The Gaelic name for the area of Applecross is "a Chomraich" which means "The Sanctuary" and the peace and the tranquility this area offers makes us want to return again and again. You can "listen to the silence".
The village of Applecross is just 4 miles from Tigh-A-Chreagan and a meal at the award winning Applecross Inn is definitely recommended, seafood being a speciality.
The Potting Shed situated within the grounds of Applecross House, is highly recommended too, as is the Flower tunnel at the campsite.
