Our lovely Arisaig Holiday Apartment overlooks the natural sea harbour of Arisaig village and offers self-catered accommodation for 2, 3 or 4 people with free Wi-Fi and free parking. The property is conveniently located just 1-minute drive off the A830, “Road to the Isles” boasting some of the most stunning land and seascapes of the North-West coast of Scotland.We are also happy to take one baby or infant under 2 years and one small dog. This self-contained Arisaig Holiday Apartment features a large open plan double bedroom upstairs with sofa seating, and an ensuite bath, shower, and toilet. The second twin bedroom is on the ground floor and has ensuite shower and toilet. The double aspect lounge has views to the sea and patio doors to the garden, two sofas, oak dining table with four chairs, satellite TV and DVD player. There is a fully equipped kitchen with small breakfast bar and two stools and a door to the garden. The property is set within over 2 acres of natural garden. The Arisaig Hotel, Crofters Bar and Shellfish Shack, the Arisaig Marina and Boathouse Café, Sound Bites Café, and the Old Library Restaurant are all a short (300m) walk, where we also have the local Spa grocery shop and Post Office. The Land Sea & Island Centre in the heart of the village is a small heritage centre where you can learn more about the history of the area. Arisaig Rail Station is just 6 minutes’ walk away. Fort William is less than 1-hour and the fishing port of Mallaig just 10 minutes’ drive. The apartment was enlarged in 2002 with the addition of a second bedroom. Comments prior to 2002 relate to the previous size which accommodated couples only.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.

Fiona & Michael
Downey Birch is a large modern family home with separate, private, but attached self contained holiday apartment. With great amenities, it overlooks the fabulous Arisaig harbour - during the summer months a yatchting haven. Central for everything.
Fiona & Michael, with their four children, cairn terrier and five chickens have lived at Downey Birch for 8 years, Arisaig being Fiona's family home since the mid 1700s. .
