Whindley sits on the side of the hill overlooking the bay. The village of Gairloch lies below the house and across the sea the Isle of Skye sits on the horizon.

On a warm summer evening there is nothing better than to sit on the front terrace and watch the sun sinking spectacularly over the hills. 

There is open hill side behind the house which gives you a sense of being close to the wilderness beyond while the facilities offered by Gairloch are within a short walk. 

There is plenty of walking to be done in the local area. You can suit your age and ability with everything from a gentle stroll along the Flowerdale valley to bagging a Munro over 1000m high. There are historical sites to explore and beaches to take in along the way. There are few places better for discovering the varied wildlife of both land and sea.

If history is your interest, there is an excellent award winning museum just 5 minutes away. You can visit the renowned Inverewe gardens 8 miles along the road at Poolewe. There are plenty of picturesque villages to visit and discover.
