The Kitchen
Here you will find a very well equipped kitchen with a freestanding 90cm smeg oven and all the expected kitchen appliances needed to cook up a storm. We do not provide any food in the cottage however previous guests will frequently leave behind useable produce and dried goods - it is not unusual to find tea/coffee, pasta, rice, tinned products, spices etc. We leave left over food in the cottage to minimise waste and to make the cottage more comfortable for the duration of your stay however please rest assured anything out of date or unusable does get thrown out so this does not detract from the cleanliness of the cottage.
Living Room
The living room is an inviting space with a cosy log burner, a huge engulfing sofa and four seater antique dining table. The smart TV is equipped with all the usual streaming apps, netflix, amazon prime, nowTV etc. you can log into any of these with your accounts. There is a well stocked and varied book selection where we operate a 'take a book, leave a book' scheme with any of the paperbacks.

Pets
Oldshoremore and the surrounding area really is the perfect place to explore with your four legged friends for this reason the cottage is pet friendly however there is a £20 pet fee. We ask that you are respectful of the cottage by not allowing your dog(s) on the furniture and wipe their feet after bringing them in from a walk.
Oldshoremore (as with most of the highlands) is a crofting village, there are countless sheep and cows around, please keep your dogs on a lead when in the vicinity of livestock.
We do not allow more than two dogs to stay in the property.
The area
Raven cottage is located in the hamlet of Oldshoremore and sits amongst some of the finest scenery. From the garden you can enjoy beach views and regular wildlife sightings. Oldshoremore is well located for those doing the North Coast 500 or wanting to walk to Sandwood bay. There are simply too many walks to mention here, it really is a walkers paradise - if you have any questions with regards to the area please feel free to get in touch.
Additional things to note
It is with regret that we have been unable to make Raven Cottage disability-friendly.
The Cottage is a beautiful, old and slightly quirky property - one of the features, which we think is rather charming, is the doorway from the kitchen to the sitting room. The opening has been cut out from the original outside wall and has quite an uneven step up to get through it, it is not a full height door way so you do have to bend to get through the opening. This is only likely to be a problem for anyone with serious mobility problems.
The cottage is owned and managed by Chloe, her day job is an antiques dealer at Molly and Maud's Place with this in mind furniture and art can have a habit of changing. When you arrive in the cottage it may not look exactly the same as the pictures however it will certainly be to the same standard or it is our hope you may even think it looks better as any changes are made in an endeavour to constantly upgrade the cottage.
The cottage's EPC rating = G
