An Cos

An Cos is a luxury five bedroomed house in Shieldaig, Wester Ross nestled within the beautiful mountains and lochs of the Scottish West Coast.

Garden

With glorious views of Shieldaig village and the wonderful pine clad Shieldaig Island, An Cos is an oasis of tranquility just 90 minutes from Inverness. Unusual for the west coast, An Cos is large, warm and open plan with beautiful windows to maximise the light and ‘bring the outside in’.

Situated behind an ancient stone wall on a no through road, the house is built from Torridon sandstone, with incredible views from all main rooms.

Rare White Tailed Eagles nest on Shieldaig island, with seals, deer, pine martins, harbour porpoises and common dolphins all occasionally on view. So too the Northern lights. 

With immediate access to beautiful walks from the doorstep An Cos is a perfect winter and summer hideaway, sleeping up to ten people.

Beautiful villages are all easily accessible by car with craft shops, restaurants, a pub within walking distance, and wonderful hideaways all near to hand.

But after a long day walking the trails or exploring the nearby beaches An Cos also has an open fire and luxury steam room to restore you. 

Despite having the appearance of a Victorian house, behind its ancient stone wall the house has all the luxuries, with double glazing, open floor plan, and underfloor heating throughout. With a beautifully equipped kitchen, laundry room, study, and good internet connection, the house also has access to major television streamer facilities for rainy days. Amazon and Tesco both deliver direct to the doorstep.
