"A lovely little cottage with stunning views of Little Loch Broom."
Perfect location for our getaway from the fireworks and Bonfire week. A clean and comfy cottage. Shares its garden with the Big Barn. Bed was comfy but would be better without the foot board- for taller people. Would definitely recommend as a retreat from the world.

"Firstly, the place was spotless when we arrived."
I don't think we've ever found a cottage so clean. There was also some grocery items left for us which was a nice gesture. The cottage is tiny and in a remote location but that's what makes it so special. It's a perfect romantic getaway for a couple and has breathtaking views of the Loch and mountains. It's cosy and comfortable and has everything you need. Most of all though, total peace and tranquility. It's fun to drive down the coast road to the west to Gruinard beach, Aultbea and the Artic Convoy Museum, Poolewe and the beautiful Inverewe Gardens and on to Gairloch. The other direction will take you to Corrieshallock Gorge and Falls and on to Ullapool. On a clear night it's so nice to watch the stars. Monday evening is folk music night at the Dundonnel Hotel. Well worth a visit. Overall this is the most delightful little cottage and we'd love to return.

"We had a lovely week at the Wee Barn."
The weather was kind to us and the cottage was spotless. Quite remote so not great for anyone looking for exciting nightlife or facilities close to hand. The welcome pack of bread, butter, eggs and milk was a nice touch by the lovely owner Gael. The scenery was spectacular (as were the midges - so come prepared !) All in all a very enjoyable stay
-
"If you like privacy and a complete "get away from it all" vibe the is THE place to come to!"
What a lovely barn conversion, everything works, all facilities are available, spotlessly clean, lovely views across to Scoraig and a glorious sunset over Priest Island. Gael was always to hand if needed but not intrusive, a lovely basics welcome pack, and supermarket deliveries available, again if needed.

"Fabulous wee cottage !"
! Spent a wonderful week there. The cottage was spotless, well equipped and very cosy ! It was so peaceful and the scenery from the house was stunning. Plenty of lovely places to go, beautiful beaches, lots of hills and mountains and exciting sea/Loch trips. There were Stags and Does with fawns, that you could watch from the cottage. Gael, the owner, was lovely and friendly and left us bread, milk, butter and eggs in the Wee Barn on our arrival. Lots of great dog walks too. Our only problem was that we didn't want to leave !!

"We had a lovely stay for a week in the Wee Barn."
The weather was excellent, so we did not need to light the inviting log burner. The cottage was warm and clean. Lots of reading material was available and we particularly enjoyed the local authors books on Scoraig. The owner of the cottage was very friendly and sprang to our aid when a problem developed with the flush mechanism in the toilet. She went out of her way to mend it as speedily aa possible. Thank you for a lovely restful week.

"It was a lovely place."
The owner was extremely helpful and tried her best to make our stay comfortable. The weather unfortunately was terrible and winter clothing in June was needed, our swimming gear redundant. We got an extra blanket for the bed and luckily there was a good supply of wood for the woodburner. We had a lovely meal 'the best vegetarian meal from a restaurant ever' at the Celidh Place in Ullapool, recommended by the owner of Wee Barn. We found a really quirky coffee shop in Gairloch selling Bob Marley coffee. We went on a sea trip to the Summer Isles which was interesting but lacking in wildlife and was expensive for what it was. In poor weather there was surprisingly not as much interest in the area as we had enjoyed in Ardnamurchan.

"Perfect location, astonishing view."
Everyday I walked outside to admire it again and again from the time we woke up till we went to bed. The barn is cosy, very clean and well maintained. A tad “wee” for 2 tall adults but doable. When arriving sugar, milk, eggs, butter, tea and (delicious!!) bread is provided. What we miss in quite a lot of properties is waterpressure in the shower but that was no problem here: great to take a shower. For the stove there is enough wood outside and it is even free to get it. On the downside: 2 separate taps in the bathroom instead of mixed tap; cooker takes ages and kitchentap doesn’t provide a lit of hot water. All in all a great place to stay and unwind! The remoteness “forces” you to admire the gorgeous Scottish landscape again and again and again.

"This was my second stay in the Wee Barn in 6 months which I hope shows my recommendation."
-
"What a wonderful cottage in a beautiful location."
The Wee Barn was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our weeks stay.
-
"We are disappointed to report that the cottage we booked for a week was so cold that this had an adverse effect on one individual's health due to diabetes."
It is our feeling that one woodburning stove is not sufficient at this time of year. Underfloor heating was present in the bedroom and bathroom but the main room remained freezing for many hours and this actually led to an individual falling so ill that we vacated the cottage in the early hours of Sunday, thus bringing our week to an abrupt end. We could not contact anyone as the phone numbers listed are inaccessible. We received a partial refund but remain dissatisfied. A shame as the cottage was lovely and a fine location etc. If only the heating issue could be resolved.
I am so sorry you found this to be your experience. The stove in the barn is a 7kw (more than ample for the size of the building)with a stove top fan to distribute the heat. There is always a large supply of wood and kindling for the stove. There is underfloor heating in the bedroom and bathroom. There is also a wall mounted electric heater in the bedroom and a portable electric radiator for the living room. The barn is in my garden, next door to my house. If I was not in one of my son's were. You could simply knock on the door. I did speak to your wife on the phone and agreed to refund you despite the major cleaning and purchasing of new bed linen.

"Have just enjoyed the most wonderful week at The Wee Barn, very comfortable and cosy."
Perfect getaway from it all and very relaxing, some wonderful walks nearby and fantastic wildlife on the doorstep. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Would highly recommend.
-
"I enjoyed my stay in The Wee Barn in late November."
Still plenty to see in daylight hours and plenty of wildlife around after dark. It was also nice to be in the area out of season. Wee Barn was cozy and had all I needed. Hope to return.
-
"We had a lovely time."
everything as listed. very clean and very helpful if we needed anything. we would book to go again
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at The Wee Barn, it was a cosy place to stay and larger inside than we expected."
The peace and quiet also a bonus. Gael who looks after the barn does an excellent job of cleaning it after each guest leaves.The eggs ,butter, bread and milk also a lovely gesture.The scenery all around is fantastic,.although we stayed there during a wet and windy week it did not dampen our stay. We also met Gael's sons who were both very friendly. We would recommend The Wee Barn as a get away break.
-
"Great location and great view from the cottage."
Owner Gael was very pleasant and helpful. Fairly isolated 3 miles from the main A road, but easy drive. Plenty of logs for the log burner and warms up quickly. We only had one problem and fixed straight away (leaking kettle :)). I would stay again good enclosed area for the dog as well. VERY QUITE shhh :)
-
"A big thank you to Gael for a really lovely stay at the Wee Barn."
Very comfortable and well equipped accommodation in an absolutely stunning location.
-
"Ideal for a peaceful couples break, cottage was very clean and comfortable and in beautiful surroundings overlooking a loch."
Quite a remote area and a bit of a drive to amenities like shops etc, but if you enjoy being out in the wilds like we do, it's ideal. The area itself is absolutely stunning and if you enjoy solitude, scenery, wildlife watching and nature it's perfect.
-
"Beautiful scenery."
Perfect location to see and do much of the West coast of Scotland or more time allowed and you’re prepared to drive as we were. The property was fabulous and our host was fantastic. Perfect holiday. We will definitely return.
-
"Great place to stay."
! Clean, comfortable, quiet and great location.!
-
"The property is exactly as advertised."
Warm, Clean and comfortable. We used it as a base to travel the highlands. Perfect for the job.
-
"Thank you, we had a great stay at the Wee Barn and would definitely look to stay again!"
-
"This wee Barn was Wee."
But it was perfection in minature. Sparkling clean lovely out of the way location although the lady who looks after cottage is next door it’s still very private easy going we enjoyed our stay very much. Highly recommend
Thank you so much Kathy, so glad you enjoyed your stay in Badluarach. Property Owner
-
"Had an amazing weeks stay in the Wee barn."
Plenty of wood suplied for woodburner. Heater in bedroom. Wifi suplied and comfy bed and amazing views from cottage. Saw a lot of red deer at the top of the road during the day and a couple of stags in the field along from us at night. Our host was lovely and very helpful .would come back in a heartbeat
-
"A wonderful place to stay, spotless property and a very nice welcome too."
Well done Gael and thank you.
Thank you so much Phil, so glad you enjoyed your stay and it was a pleasure to meet you. Property Owner
-
"The wee barn is exactly that , a genuine building that matches a lot of the unconverted barns along the loch side."
It has a bothy feel about the place ,simplicity in design and a terrific view Everything about the interior was pleasing, the underfloor heating in the bathroom and bedroom kept the chill away even when the temperature dropped to minus 12c Overall if you want a highland escape that is not impractical in its utter remoteness this is one to consider
Thank you, glad you enjoyed your stay despite our very wintery weather. Property Owner
-
"Great trip to The Wee Barn."
Small but really well equipped. Used it as a working holiday and the peace and quiet, along with the excellent facilities and attentive but distant hosts led to a really productive week. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Property Owner
-
"We couldn't fault the cottage."
It's everything and more one would need on a small break. Bed was comfortable, although it's a double. Views are pretty special, loads to do in the area at anytime of the year, in any weather.
Thank you Property Owner
-
"The Wee Barn is in a lovely setting and is warm, comfortable and well equipped."
There are lots of beautiful beaches and woodland walks within easy access which was perfect for us and our two dogs. Gael could not have been more welcoming. Highly Recommended!
So glad you enjoyed your stay Alison. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage well maintained, host very nice ."
Beautiful view over loch and so much beautiful scenery around.would recommend

"Superb wee barn for a relaxing get - away holiday."
Clean, tidy and comfortable. Well equipped, (just missing a frying pan or two for anyone who likes to have a cooked breakfast), otherwise, a fabulous, remote property with stunning views across Little Loch Broom. Gael, the friendly owner left a lovely welcome pack of bread, butter milk and eggs, which was welcome indeed. Situated at the end of a dead-end road, it is peaceful and quiet. Fabulous.
-
"Absolutely brilliant!"
We've enjoyed our stay very much. Cottage is very well equipped and comfortable and... the views are amazing! Breath taking! Perfect getaway from the busy life. Water pressure in the shower not the best when on hot but it wasn't a massive issue- it still does the job;) Gael (the owner) is a wonderful host, thank you for everything:) x
Thank you so much Ewelina, it was a pleasure to have you stay. Property Owner

"Just a few minor things (some of which Trip Advisor shows have been mentioned before) … not things that had a big impact: 1) it is true that the taps are fiddly."
I tried carefully to establish the correct / optimum running speeds but, even when I thought I’d mastered it, I still got suddenly sprayed a few times. 2) the sofa is old and saggy. A new one would be more comfortable, perhaps. 3) instructions - on how to get terrestrial channels, for those of us unfamiliar with Sky etc - would be good. I could have found Gael for help … but it wasn’t that important, just occasionally annoying. I used Netflix and was happy with that. 4) a medium sized ceramic / Pyrex flat bottom dish would have been good. Thank you.
Thank you Debbie. The couch and armchair are being replaced this Saturday, as they were old. Property Owner

"An excellent choice for this area."
The three mile road from the main road gave just enough remoteness and privacy for our privacy and seclusion from heavy traffic. It did add to the travel times to places of interest but not excessively. One cannot have both. Bird watching was limited in the immediate area although cuckoos were very vocal. Access down the hill to the Jetty was a brisk walk but there was no beach for those who may wish to use one. Everything installed worked well for us although 'instruction' books for the equipment would have been very useful. Never used the TV set up as we had no idea how it worked although as we do not have one at home it was a 'nice' to have rather than a crying need. All in all the place was quite charming but in need of a good carpenter to fix door closings.
Thank you Property Owner
-
"Very pleasant and helpful hosts."
The Wee Barn was fully equipped with all you needed with an extensive Welcome Pack provided on arrival which was much appreciated. Lovely location and views. Very comfortable bed and the Wee Barn was cosy and warm. The only down side was the springs in the settee were gone which made it a little uncomfortable. We would recommend the Wee Barn 100%.
Thank you so much and couch is fixed. Property Owner

"If we were only staying one or two nights, the wee barn would have been fine for a quick stop."
We stayed a week and then found the uncomfortable bits. Small things perhaps, but they grated after a while. The kitchen faucet that spit water. No hot water out of the kitchen and bathroom faucets except for barely tepid once a day. The electric shower was fine though so we could have somewhere hot to wash hands. The underfloor heating in the bedroom was wonderful but did not extend to the living room where, even with the woodstove, it was cold. The wifi was fine but we had no phone service. The kettle was made to look pretty but was hazardous to use - the lid would fall off when it was poured. The hob worked well but there were no labels to indicate which burner was being turned on.
Thank you for your comments as no guest has ever pointed these out to me before. I had a plumber and electrician come out to check the property yesterday. The water pressure is high but not excessively so but caused your spit. The water heater is in perfect working order and only if you run the taps too fast would fail to keep up the heating process. There is an spare electric heater in the bedroom cupboard if you wish for extra warmth or do not wish to light the stove. I am afraid being the Highlands we do have lots of mountains which limits the mobile phone signal but the WIFI enables the use of Whats App and messenger which are free. The kettle lid is secure and tight and does not fall off. Each hob burners glow red when turned on which would indicate that it is on. Kind regards from The Wee Barn Property Owner

"We both absolutely loved our stay in the Wee Barn."
It’s a perfect place in a perfect location. We couldn’t have asked for more, it had everything you could want. It is a lovely, cosy place to stay. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants an ideal getaway. Thanks Gael, this holiday has been a long time coming and was perfect.
So glad you enjoyed it, thank you Debbie. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, owner on-site if any issues (not that we had any!"
), amazing location
Thank you and for the jam, it was lovely. Property Owner
-
"Lovely cottage, fully equipped with everything you need."
The welcome pack was lovely (the bread was gorgeous). Underfloor heating in bedroom and bathroom felt luxurious. We were worried about the bed perhaps being too soft but it wasn’t and had the best nights sleep we’ve had in a long time - we intend to purchase the same mattress for our bed at home! We’ve had a wonderful holiday and have no hesitation in recommending the cottage.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. Property Owner

"What a beautiful Cottage awesome scenery and location and so comfortable totally exceeded our expectations, Very friendly host we will most certainly be back " stunning" many thanks Gael !"

"What is there not to like about this wee place?"
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt totally at home and so comfortable. The Wee Barn was super clean and cosy and was everything we had hoped for. The Welcome Pack was great and literally saved our bacon as we hadn't been able to get essentials in before arriving. The owner, Gael, was equally welcoming and lovely but not intrusive and was there to help if needed. The view from the cottage was breathtaking morning, noon and night and just sitting watching the little boat scurry back and forth to Scoraig was such a pleasure..the mountains, the loch and the sea changing with the weather. It was magical...we have certainly left a piece of our hearts there and we cannot wait to 'Haste ye back'.
-
"Superb accommodation for two, which was very well equipped, with a very friendly and informative host."
The area is a marvellous base to explore the whole coast. Would love to go back.
Thank you Property Owner
-
"It was brilliant."
The space available was well thought out. Gorgeous views, stunning. Everything there that we needed. For a longer stay the lack of a washing machine would be a bit tricky. Comfortable bed. Thoughtful owners. all covid stuff very safe. best holiday in years
-
"What a gorgeous gem the Wee Barn is and in such a beautiful setting."
Gayle and Dougie were perfect hosts. The Welcome Pack was greatly appreciated, as were all the other touches in the cosy accommodation. There is so much to do in the area or you can simply chill and take in the fantastic scenery. The stroll down to the jetty to watch the sunset was wonderful. I would certainly recommend the Wee Barn to those who are seeking a holiday in a truly stunning part of the world.
-
"Gael and Dougie are fantastic hosts ."
Helped us out several times with advice about things to do, and problems we encountered due to our disorganisation. The Wee barn is a great place to stay and having such generous and pleasant hosts made it very special. The eggs, bread, milk and coffee waiting for us on arrival were a brilliant touch. Highly recommend a stay here.
-
"We enjoyed our stay at The Wee Barn it is located in the most beautiful area with an amazing view."
It is situated in a remote area very peaceful if you are looking for total relaxation. The hosts live next door and are very friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive.
-
"The location was stunning the wee barn so cosy and well equipped and Gael a marvelous host."
-
"Fabulous stay in this beautiful part of Scotland The Wee Barn was very clean and well equipped for our needs."
Gael was on hand for any queries and was very friendly and thoughtful- the welcome pack provided was a lovely touch too We had a great holiday and the position of the Wee Barn was perfect with great views of the loch, mountains and especially the sunsets Thankyou and we hope to return one day
-
"Great modern cottage for 2 in a wonderful location"
-
"Gael and her husband were the perfect hosts, and nothing was too much trouble."
The Wee Barn was idyllic, and in the most perfect, tranquil setting. Just what was needed for a wee break with our elderly dog post lockdown :)
-
"Please if you are going to use What 3 words to direct to a remote location such as this you really need to use the accurate words for the site not those for the post code."
I chose to follow that direction expecting the pinpoint accuracy that the app provides and this was a mistake. The correct three words are trader superbly tentacles and NOT promotes tipping threading. The property and owner, Gael, were completely brilliant and the location is quite magnificent. Thank you.
-
"The Wee barn is an absolute delightful place to stay , walk outside your door and you’re viewing one of the best scenes you will ever see in your life, it literally takes your breath away, the whole area is stunning."
On a clear night you are treated to thousands of beautiful stars , amazing! With binoculars you see pods of dolphins racing up the loch amongst other sea creatures. This was a week we will never forget, so many photos taken and places to explore. I won’t hesitate to recommend this holiday let to anyone who loves being at one with nature and needing a peaceful retreat.
-
"The Wee Barn was lovely with all the facilities required for a comfortable stay."
Even a welcome pack of essentials, tea, coffee, bread, milk was there on our arrival. The owners of the property could not have been more friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. The views from the Barn were stunning, with beautiful easy walks in the beautiful surroundings.
-
"The Wee Barn Is idyllic in every way and so clean!"
The location is amazing. Found it very hard to leave so booked it again for next year! Need I say more?!
-
"Lovely location and aspect with views down to Little Loch Broom."
Very quiet location (off the fast A832 road which is becoming increasing busy with North Coast 500 traffic) Small but perfectly ok for a couple, kitchen was better equipped than many holiday rentals (chopping boards, sharp knives etc). Under floor heating in bedroom and bathroom (nice) Only slight downside was a small fridge with tiny freezing compartment however the owner offered use of their home freezer.
-
"It’s hard to explain perfection but this place is as near as you will ever get."
The owners were friendly but kept out of our way. The views were sublime. And the bed was pure comfort Shame I can’t post any photo or video
-
"Really enjoyed our stay at the wee barn ."
It was everything we were looking for .
-
"A great place with good facilities and outstanding views."
Very quiet and peaceful. Gael was very helpful and welcoming. A good base for exploring Wester Ross. Very dog friendly. Highly recommend.
-
"Breathtaking area of north west Scotland."
Dougie and Gael very helpful.
-
"Lovely cosy little cottage."
Perfectly clean, superbly stocked in a remote yet well-connected location. Best dark sky I have ever seen in the UK for star-gazing, We were lucky to see a meteor shower which took our breath away. Highly recommend The Wee Cottage.
-
"Lovely cottage in a great location."
-
"Wee Barn was in a beautiful out of the way location with wonderful views of Loch Little Broom."
We saw seals basking on rocks and swimming in the loch if we did the one minute walk down to the jetty.
-
"The view from the cottage was spectacular, the area was lovely, quiet and beautiful."
The cottage was clean and cosy, well equipped.
-
"Would have liked more detail on how to get there for the last bit."
Was very comfortable and lovely people who owned it and were next door, makes a difference to have such a friendly family. It is small and you do have to watch as cars can come in the gate if dog is out but it wasn’t ever a problem.lovely area and lovely view.
-
"The Wee Barn is a lovely cottage and the owners are very friendly."
The property is spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The welcome pack of bread, milk, eggs and other essentials was really thoughtful and much appreciated. This area of Scotland has glorious scenery and some beautiful beaches where we spent much of our time walking our dog.
-
"Quiet location."
Left alone by the owner despite only being next door which is good and helpful when required. Only negative comment is a better heating alternative required for the front room when we don't want to light the stove, for example at breakfast. The little heater provided was inadequate for the cold weather. The bed is too soft a mattress for us but I appreciate that is personnel taste. Other than that it was a very tidy cottage and exceeded expectations.
-
"The cottage is in a wonderful position: looking over the loch and with views of the mountains."
A lovely wee cottage: it will always be remembered.
-
"This was a great cottage, in an idyllic setting."
-
"It was a beautiful setting, very peaceful, the host was helpful on the one occasion we needed help and it was very comfy."
-
"A perfect retreat for two, stunning location away from it all."
The barn has everything one needs , is cosy and warm. Gael. Dougie and their family including Flint, are lovely, friendly hosts. We would love to return one day if commitments allow.
-
"THE PERFECT GETAWAY FOR 2 This wee little barn provides everything you need and more."
You get a welcome pack for when you arrive which contain all the instructions you need and a few little extra food pieces which is a really nice touch. You have a Log burning fire and tv which also has netflix for when the weather isnt on your side. Its in a nice secluded location close to the water and the hills which have a excellent waterfall walk if you dont mind a rough step path. (Well worth the climb). Also as a petrol head i have to say the roads allong this route are outstanding and would highly recommended if your not out to do the full NC500. Thankyou very much for the perfect winter break :)
-
"The cottage was fantastic."
Beautifully finished inside and out. The welcome pack of essentials like bread, milk, butter and eggs was a thoughtful extra. We had a wonderful relaxing time.
-
"The wee barn was a lovely cosy retreat ."
Ideal if you like wild country places. Ideal for walking and visiting lovely wild secluded beaches and coves. We had a lovely time and would recommend.
-
"The wee barn was a lovely cottage very well equipped in a great location for ..."
The wee barn was a lovely cottage very well equipped in a great location for sightseeing and a lovely welcome package the owners are very welcoming had a fantastic week away
-
"Hosts next door, very obliging and the area fenced in so safe to allow the dogs out."
Wonderful view of little loch Broom. Would suggest installing a microwave oven.
-
"First time user of Sykes, but this accommodation exceeded our expectations."
A small, remote cottage in the Western Highlands in the grounds of the owners house (Gael is friendly and welcoming), nearest town (Ullapool) about a 40 minute drive away, this small barn conversion has windows on just one side - overlooking Little Loch Broom where seals were seen on the rocks at the bottom of the lane, wild deer in the local fields and an eagle nearby! Quirky electricity arrangement which added to the charm (coin meter with reusable coins that drop into a box). Small kitchen, as expected, with natural light supplemented by a glazed fixed roof window. Could possibly benefit from a microwave (but not a showstopper) with shops a drive away it takes some planning! Comfortable double bed with duvet and the room has adequate cupboard and drawer space. Modern bathroom with good shower, heated floor. A quaint yet modern take on holiday accommodation.
-
"Brilliant location with excellent views."
Very friendly host.
-
"We have just returned from a lovely week at the Wee Barn: made to feel very welcome by Gael and Dougie."
We and our two dogs enjoyed the wonderful surroundings with the abundance of wild flowers and some remarkable local fauna: otters, while tailed eagle, golden eagle and even dolphins in Little Loch Broom- perfect.
-
"The Wee Barn is ideal for a holiday for two and a good base for touring the North West Highlands."
The location is superb, the house is well-designed despite being small and the facilities and equipment are very good. The TV is not Freeview as described in the particulars; rather it is internet TV, but the broadband signal is generally good enough to view programmes satisfactorily although there is sometimes some buffering. Overall, we had a great holiday, helped by having superb weather!
