Camas Bàn Cottage

Gaelic for fair bay

SLEEPS 2-4

This cottage and adjacent byre sit right on the shores of Camas Bàn. The bay has a varied mix of grass, rock pools and sand at low tide. It is very sheltered and provides a calm spot for fishing, paddle boarding or swimming. The views overlook Loch Sunart and the Morven peninsula. With frequent visits from inquisitive seals, elusive otters, cheeky pine marten and a vast array of garden and sea birds, this bay really is very fair!

The main cottage and adjacent byre were a derelict croft last inhabited over 120 years ago. Lovingly restored, it is delightfully comfortable, complete with underfloor heating, whilst retaining its original hardy and humble character. 

The main cottage, with its exposed stone walls, is mainly open plan. It has a wood-burning stove enjoyed from a comfy L-shaped sofa. There is a picturesque dining area, a well-furnished kitchen, and a double bed hidden behind delicate, white curtains. In the bathroom, there is a shower and a short bath. The Byre is seven metres from the main cottage, and houses the utility room, bunk beds and sitting room. A South West stone terrace provides a lovely outdoor seating area.

    • Nightly rate: £92 - £117 nightly rate for 1-2 guests.

  • "Greenwood provided us with the most exquisite and beautiful base from which to explore this stunning peninsula. It was furnished way and beyond the norm in a very unique style with amazing woodwork. Just open the front door and you are immediately surrounded by breathtaking splendour In terms of sight and sound: what a vocabulary seals have as they compete with the songs of a variety of birds and silent butterflies that you will see in the short walk to the private shoreline. Words cannot do justice. All was very clean and in order and the hosts, Howard and Charlotte, a sheer delight. The beauties of Kilchoan and Sanna are within easy striking distance and there is a beautiful natural heritage centre and cafe nearby selling delicious delights!

  • "The lap of luxury in a blissful setting - I've just returned from a wonderful week staying in Darach Mòr. From the lovely warm welcome from the owners to the entire range of mod cons to make my stay as comfortable as possible, I could not have asked for more from the accommodation. The walks around the estate are beautiful and breathtaking. Thank you Greenwood"

    Guest at Darach Mòr

  • "We stayed in the Uisge Beò, which was an amazing accommodation, beautifully made and blended into the landscape. The grounds were kept amazing, and full of wildlife. We had the pine marten visiting regularly and the badger visiting occasionally with WTSE flying over. Lots of small birds including yellowhammers, chaffinches, GSW and pipistrelles. There was 2 otters further down in the loch and lots of crabs including young eels. Plenty of insects considering the weather was hit and missy, we seen both the small pearl-bordered fritillary and pearl-bordered fritillary, along with many moths. Various flora species including lots of orchids. Lovely walks nearby, with Charlotte advising places to visit."

    Guest at Uisge Beò

  • "Stunning, beautiful, peaceful location. We loved the 73 acres of grounds with a number of well maintained walking routes cut through the vegetation - the wildlife (including daily visits from Pine Martens) was wonderful. Charlotte and Howard are great hosts, friendly, very responsive and always helpful"

    Guest at Camas Bàn Cottage

  • "We had the most beautiful stay. The accommodation is cosy and warm and the views are amazing. We saw seals, dolphins, birds and pine martens whilst having breakfast or tea at the window. Everything was spotlessly clean and comfy and Charlotte was very responsive and kind checking in on us during the biggest thunder and lightning storm we have ever seen. It's very remote and quiet which was just what we were looking for but still drivable to a nice cafe and some beautiful beaches. We would definitely stay again"

    Guest at Camas Bàn Cottage

  • “This cottage is outstanding. Beautiful, spacious yet cozy, well equipped, clean, comfortable, a real gem. And the location is just amazing. Charlotte is a great host. She is caring and fast responding, she has recommended several local activities and attractions. And they are all an absolute must to do - beaches, boat trips, exploring local grounds . There is plenty to do and see on the peninsula and the surrounding islands. I highly recommend the stay in this cottage and the area.”

    Guest at Uisge Beò

  • "Greenwood is a sublime location, Howard & Charlotte are gorgeous, generous and welcoming hosts, and Darach Mòr offered perfect accommodation. This place is a pearl of great price, and easier to get to than initially thought, via the spectacular and world renowned Glasgow - Fort William train, then a lovely (if hair raising at times!) public minibus which drops off at the front of Greenwood."
