2 Bedroom Detached Cottage, Glenhurich Cottage, Polloch, Glenfinnan, PH37 4LX

There comes a point where a weekend away isn’t enough, where another hotel or another busy beauty spot simply won’t do. What you really want is somewhere the world struggles to find you.

Hidden amongst the mountains of Glenfinnan, around three hours from Glasgow, Glenhurich Cottage is exactly that place.

A beautifully restored Victorian cottage surrounded by some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery, where the soundtrack is birdsong, the wind through the trees and, on occasion, nothing at all.

Whether it’s a Friday evening escape from the city, weeks spent working remotely amongst the Highlands with the benefit of high-speed Starlink internet, or simply somewhere to disappear with family and friends, this is a home that offers something increasingly difficult to find… genuine solitude.

Purchased by the current owner four years ago, the property has since undergone a complete ground-up restoration. Every element has been thoughtfully renewed, creating a home that respects its Victorian origins whilst offering the comfort and quality expected of modern living.

The sitting room is exactly as a Highland cottage should be. Cosy without feeling confined, centred around the stove, with deep-set windows framing ever-changing views across the landscape beyond.

The bathroom is equally impressive, with a freestanding bath perfectly positioned beneath twin windows looking out towards the surrounding woodland, making even the simplest moments feel like part of the escape.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms sit beneath the original roofline, their vaulted ceilings and exposed stone walls adding yet more character, while the views ensure you never forget quite how special the setting really is.

A generous courtyard provides parking, while timber decking wraps around the front of the cottage, creating the perfect place for morning coffee as the mist lifts from the Glen, or an evening dram beneath some of Scotland’s biggest and darkest skies.

Attached to the property is a substantial barn, currently accessed externally. Subject to the appropriate planning consents, buyers may wish to incorporate this into the main house, creating additional living accommodation, a third bedroom, studio or home office, providing excellent flexibility for the future.

For those seeking outdoor adventure, Glenhurich Cottage sits within one of the country's finest natural playgrounds. Directly opposite the cottage, a beautiful salmon river is home to salmon, trout and even resident otters, with natural bathing pools providing the perfect spot for wild swimming. Hiking, mountain biking, fishing, paddleboarding and sailing are all within easy reach, whilst the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, Loch Shiel, Arisaig's white sandy beaches and the spectacular Road to the Isles are all close by.
