Your Gateway to the Scottish Highlands Wilderness
Plockton Cottages was born from a deep love for one of Scotland's most picturesque villages — often called the "Jewel of the Highlands." We specialise in connecting guests with self-catering accommodation on the sheltered shores of Loch Carron, where palm trees flourish and white-washed cottages overlook a natural harbour backed by the Applecross Mountains.
Our mission is to help travellers find properties that genuinely suit them: whether that's a romantic one-bedroom harbourfront cottage for couples, a family-friendly lodge with enclosed gardens for children and dogs, or a hilltop retreat with panoramic views across to Skye. We understand that the right cottage makes the whole trip — and the wrong one is just an expensive campsite.
We believe your Highland escape should be seamless from the moment you enquire to the moment you leave. That means honest information about village amenities, clear guidance on pet policies and enclosed gardens, and practical advice on what to pack, when to visit for the Plockton Regatta, and where to buy fresh langoustines straight off the boat at the Main Pier.
Every property in our portfolio is selected for its character, location, and suitability for the kind of guest who books it. We don't list everything — we list the right things, and we'll tell you which one fits your trip.
We tell you exactly what to expect — including the things other listings leave out, like midge season, tide times for coastal walks, and what "limited signal" really means.
We celebrate the true character of the Scottish Highlands, connecting you with genuine Highland experiences — remote, wild, and unlike anything else in Britain.
From your first inquiry to your final departure, we're here to make your Plockton escape as smooth as the loch on a still morning.
We're committed to preserving the natural beauty of these landscapes for future generations, promoting responsible tourism and respect for the wilderness that makes these places special.
With Plockton Cottages, you're not just booking accommodation — you're gaining access to insider knowledge about Scotland's palm tree village. We know when Calum's Seal Trips run, which cottages have the best views of the Applecross Mountains, how to walk out to Eilean nan Gamhainn at low tide, and why September is worth seriously considering over August.
Whether you're planning a summer sailing adventure during Plockton Regatta, a wildlife week watching seals and otters, a romantic getaway with harbour views, or a cosy autumn retreat by the fire, we're here to match you with the right property and help you make the most of every day.
