Stalkers Cottage
Situated between Loch Tarbert and Tarbert Bay, 12 miles north of Craighouse, the Stalker's Cottage is in an ideal position for exploring the north end of Jura. It is a semi-detached cottage set on its own above Tarbert Bay sand the Sound of Jura. Accommodation comprises a large sitting room with open fire and dvd recorder. Dining room; Kitchen equipped with electric hob and oven, fridge-
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave; Study/4th bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs are three double rooms, one with a double bed and two with twin beds all with fine views in both directions. It is centrally heated throughout.
Close to the house is a beautiful sandy beach (300 yards). A walk half a mile across the hill brings you to the head of Loch Tarbert which runs for 8 miles out to the Atlantic. This is a wild part of Jura with great possibilities for walkers: west to the remote west coast with its raised beaches or north to George Orwells's house at Barnhill and beyond that the famous whirlpool of Corrievrecken. The road north runs through ancient oakwoods intercepted with remote beaches and wonderful views across the mainland. Brown trout fishing is available on a loch 3 miles up the road.
The road south to Craighouse provides wonderful views of the Paps of Jura. Craighouse itself is tiny but vibrant with a distillery, village shop and hotel. Week-ends see a busy social life at the pub with frequent ceilidhs in the village hall. Visitors are made most welcome. Jura House gardens has gained national status as an important Scottish west coast garden.
