Applecross Cottages

Nestled in Wester Ross within the Scottish Highlands, Applecross is a gem on its own peninsula. This picturesque area offers some of the most stunning scenery you'll ever encounter, and it's home to the famed Applecross Pass, also known as Bealach na Bà. This 11-mile single-track road weaves through majestic mountains and was constructed back in 1822. Driving along its tight hairpin bends that ascend from Tornapress to Applecross will undoubtedly provide an exhilarating experience. Reaching heights of 626 meters above sea level, this pass boasts the steepest road climb in the UK. It's not only a thrill for drivers but also a paradise for walkers and mountain bikers eager to tackle its challenging path. Your efforts are richly rewarded with breathtaking views over the bay towards Raasay and the Isle of Skye. Take your time exploring this magical place from one of our carefully selected Applecross cottages—each offering you a comfortable base to cherish every moment spent here.
