 Little Leckmelm House
Nr Ullapool, Wester Ross.,United Kingdom
Set in 6 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens stretching down to the shingle shore of Loch Broom (perfect for picnics and with jetty), this elegant and spacious house boasts a spectacular Northern Highland setting. As the photograph shows, its fine gabled frontage enjoys a splendid outlook over the gardens; inside, the property offers beautifully appointed and very comfortable accommodation for up to ten people. The glorious private grounds adjoin a 10-acre arboretum dating from the 1870s containing rare and unusual trees, species and hybrid rhododendrons, azaleas and a wide range of other shrubs. Though open to the public during the day, after six o'clock the woodland walks and tranquil glades of this arboreal paradise are for Little Leckmelm's visitors to enjoy at their will. The loch offers mackerel fishing and, of course, this superb and peaceful setting guarantees a choice of fine walks and opportunities to savour spectacular views. Only 3 miles away, strings of whitewashed stone cottages line the pier at the pretty fishing village of Ullapool, where there is a choice of good shops, excellent seafood restaurants, bars, 9-hole golf course and swimming-pool. Sea-angling can be enjoyed here, whilst on nearby lochs, fishing for salmon and trout proves popular. There are boat trips available to the Summer Isles, sailing facilities and a tiny museum housed in an 18th-century church. All along the coast, there are sandy beaches ideal for picnics as well as large hills to climb and an easy day's touring can take in many places of interest, including Inverewe Gardens (40 miles), Lael Forest Garden and the Benn Eighe National Nature Reserve. The National Trust of Scotland's Corrieshalloch Gorge, with its suspension bridge giving spectacular views of the Falls of Measach, is nearby (9 miles).
