Wester Ross Retreats

Wester Ross Retreats is a self-catering letting agency operating across Gairloch and the wider Wester Ross area, a portfolio of cottages, lodges and larger houses managed by a local team based at Braeside Road in Gairloch. The agency’s model is the small-portfolio one rather than the platform-listing approach: a curated set of properties, each individually inspected and described, with on-the-ground guest support through the stay.

The portfolio ranges from couple’s hideaways (one-bedroom traditional cottages in Gairloch and the surrounding crofting townships) through standard family properties (two- and three-bedroom cottages with gardens and sea views in the Big Sand and Charlestown clusters) to larger group-bookable houses (four- and five-bedroom lodges and farmhouses across the wider area, including Poolewe, Aultbea and Loch Maree). Most properties are dog-friendly as a default; some carry estate-shooting or fishing access where they belong to a sporting estate.

The local-management slice is the operation’s anchor. Visitors get a person on the ground for the standard self-catering operational items, key collection, heating issues, broken appliances, local-area advice, rather than a remote call centre. The team also handles short-notice rebookings when properties become unavailable.

Coverage is Gairloch-centred, with properties through Loch Maree, Loch Ewe, Aultbea and Poolewe. Browse the full portfolio at the Wester Ross Retreats website.
