The property
Resting on the outskirts of the pretty village of Poolewe, Scottish Highlands, on the grounds of the world-famous National Trust for Scotland Inverewe Garden and Estate, is this spacious first-floor apartment, Inverewe House Apartment.
Enjoying a superb location within the manor house, built in the 1937 and surrounded by 2000-acres of wildlife rich grounds, with stunning views overlooking Loch Ewe, Inverewe House Apartment is a fantastic family-friendly choice for couples or a family of up to six, plus their two canine companions.
The garden was created by Osgood Mackenzie, who built one of Scotland’s most popular botanical attractions from bare rock and scrub willows and is now filled with an array of colourful plants from around the world from New Zealand to Tasmania and China, resulting in a tropical paradise.
As well as the garden which Osgood spent his life dedicated to developing, he also built an original Scottish baronial-style house, which was destroyed by a fire and later rebuilt by Osgood’s daughter Mairi and her husband, Ronald, edging away from the Scottish baronial-style and instead, a more art-deco style specked with Dutch Colonial features.
Inverewe House Apartment can be found on the first floor of the house, where you will find a well-equipped and contemporary kitchen/diner, here you can rustle up tasty dishes ready to enjoy at the dining table for six over a bottle of celebratory fizz.
After dinner, retire to the sitting room where you can relax on the plush seating as you recount the day's adventures with picturesque views of Loch Ewe on offer.
Continue through to find a well-appointed bathroom, complete with bath and walk-in shower for freshening up at the end of the day, along with three beautifully decorated bedrooms, two king-size, one with en-suite bathroom, and a twin, all of which enjoy lovely views over the garden and out to Loch Ewe.
In the morning, you can explore the expansive grounds, where you will find plenty of seating, dining areas, a café, an abundance of plant and wildlife, and nature trails, including the Pinewood Trail and the Kernsary Path.
On the ground-floor of the manor house, you can enjoy tours of the museum and an art gallery, where Osgood’s daughter Mairi’s original furnishings and possessions remain.
Poolewe is where you will find all of your local amenities, including a well-stocked village store, the Bridge Cottage Café & Sourdough Bakery, a Post Office, Pool House Historic Home, and the delightful Poolewe Tuesday Market, where you can meet the locals and purchase local goods.
For those who fancy taking to the waters, boat trips are offered from the famous Inverewe Gardens where you can spot the local marine life and learn more about your surroundings.
For further amenities, make the drive over to Gairloch, home to a farm shop, the Gairloch Museum, and beautiful beach, the cafes of Am Bard, Black Pearl Creole Kitchen, and The Mountain Coffee, a Chinese and fish and chip takeaway and The Shieling.
If you want to explore more of the National Trust for Scotland’s spectacular offerings, visit the majestic mountain landscapes of Torridon, where you can spot otters in the loch and red deer on the hillsides of at the Deer Enclosure and Museum, Corrieshalloch Gorge, with breath-taking views of the Measach Falls and woodland trails, and the awe-inspiring Balmacara Estate, home to a plethora of wildlife, including Highland cattle, squirrels and dragonflies, walking trails, and the exceptional Scotland Rainforest.
For a truly unique getaway to Scotland, look no further than Inverewe House Apartment.

The pretty village of Poolewe sits in the shelter of Loch Ewe, at the mouth of the River Ewe where it tumbles down from Loch Maree. It is a pretty place in an area of spectacular scenery and is home to a well-stocked shop, small swimming pool and two hotels. The world-renowned Inverewe Garden (National Trust for Scotland) is half a mile across the bay from the village. The site was developed by the botanist Osgood Mackenzie from 1862 until his death in 1922. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, it is home to exotic plants, imported from all over the world – a must for all visitors to the area. Firemore beach is five miles to the west and north along the coast is Gruinard Bay with its striking sands; a series of attractive beaches skirt the bay and a number are easily reached from the main road. With spectacular scenery, mountains, excellent hillwalking, golf, fishing, wildlife cruises and much more, this is a great area for a holiday!
