Ardmair Point isn’t just by the sea, it’s a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the crystal waters of Ardmair Bay, three miles north of Ullapool on Scotland’s west coast. The site is grassy and well-kept with all the usual facilities and a well-stocked shop; but it’s the location that makes it worth a visit.
The sheltered bay makes the perfect starting point for exploring the dramatic rocky coastline by kayak or boat. You can fish for mackerel, explore uninhabited islands, or just glide among the otters, porpoises and seabirds that live here in abundance. The campsite has a private pier and mooring for boats and you can launch kayaks from the beach. If you don’t paddle your own canoe, there are local boat trips to take you to see the wildlife or visit Isle Martin, a community-owned natural gem on the edge of the bay.
After a day on the sea or in the nearby Assynt hills, sit back by the tent and watch the sun turning the cliffs of Ben Mor Coigach gold until it sets late, late in the evening, over the Atlantic horizon.

This is the best fry up I have found in the UK! Having toured a week around the Highlands, tucking into the creamiest, tastiest black pudding after a week of lashing rain was a rare treat. It was garnished with thick fat bacon and square sausage, accompanied with two fried eggs, fried mushrooms hash browns and beans. The bread too was divine. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. None of the reconstituted meat you get in most places, and all this was a bargain at £5-6. Despite the slightly tacky and oxymoron of a name: Kelly's takeaway SIT IN, the staff are friendly, atmosphere is good and the food is even better. The coffee there was pretty good to. Writing about it makes me want to brave the snow and run to Ullapool, sit down and tuck in. Highlands trip anyone?

Achmelvich is a beautiful place north of Ullapool, with clear blue waters and exotic white beaches which can be found within many rocky coves that are host to a plethora of pools, teaming with sealife.

You don’t travel 650 miles from Surrey for nothing! We have stayed at the cottage on many occasions and will repeatedly return to savour the delights of exceptional accommodation in an idyllic setting.

We cannot speak too highly of the Taigh a’ Bhraion experience, try it for yourselves, especially in the winter, it's cosy and warm and very beautiful outside.
