🍁🍂 Autumnal days in the Highlands 🍂🍁

The days are getting shorter, the leaves are beginning to turn and there’s something rather special about autumn here in the Highlands. ❤️
On days like this, it’s lovely to get outside and explore before returning to the cosy warmth of Sleepy Hollow.

Our guests have plenty to discover during their stay… ✨
🏔️ Take a day trip over to the magical Isle of Skye
🚗 Follow the spectacular Bealach na Bà to Applecross
🌿 Wander around beautiful Plockton
🌊 Or simply take the pretty lochside walk just a few minutes from Sleepy Hollow.
It’s a little walk that’s easily missed, but one we think is rather special. The views are beautiful in every season, and autumn brings its own magic. 🍂
After a day exploring, there’s nothing better than coming back to your own cosy little Highland hideaway. 🏡❤️
Autumn is a beautiful time to visit us — perhaps it’s time for your Highland escape? 🍁

✨ There’s something special about mornings in the Highlands…

We’ve been enjoying some beautiful weather lately, and the view from the bedroom window never stays the same.

Last week it was wrapped in mist, and this week the skies have opened up to reveal a whole new scene.

Our quiet balcony is the perfect spot to slow down — whether it’s a morning coffee while listening to the birds, or an evening drink while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

The fresh air, the changing views, and the gentle quietness… sometimes that’s all you need. 🌿

What would you choose — coffee with the sunrise or a drink under the evening sky? ☕

We have lots of stunning wild flowers growing all around us.

💛 The yellow flag wild iris can be found growing in damp land
🩷 Sea pinks (sea thrift) can be found growing in salt mashes, rocky cliffs and sand dunes
💙 Bluebells are growing all over the grass verges, hill sides and fields.

I love looking for wild orchids, they're a bit later this year and I've not seen any yet. Hopefully with the lovely sunshine we've had and a bit of rain they'll start popping up

Eilean Donan Castle looked stunning last night 🌅

Our location makes the perfect base for exploring Skye, Plockton, and the beautiful surrounding area — with the castle only around a 20-minute walk away.

After a day of sightseeing, guests love returning to the peace, comfort, and slower pace here for a few relaxing evenings

✨ It's been glorious weather here in the Highlands — sunshine forecast for a while yet 🌞

We’ve loved welcoming guests from all over the world over the past year, and it’s wonderful to see bookings continuing ahead.

This morning I’m enjoying a quiet moment on the decking, listening to nothing but birdsong 🎶

Our accommodation is often described as a sanctuary — a cosy, comfortable place to slow down and unwind. Sitting here, I completely understand why 💜

We love seeing guests start their day with a coffee or cuppa out here, or relax in the evening with a drink while taking in the ever-changing loch views.

✨Save this for your next Highland escape ✨

A few photos of Eilean Donan Castle through the seasons ✨

Although the castle is currently closed due to the excitement of filming the new Highlander film, I couldn’t resist sharing a few of these.

The good news is it’s due to reopen next week, so visits will be back on the cards very soon!

Our accommodation is just about a mile away — only a few minutes’ drive to the car park, and easily walkable if you fancy stretching your legs and soaking up the scenery.

I’ve visited several times, and each visit feels different. There’s always something new to notice, so it’s well worth allowing time for it in your itinerary.

A little tip before you go: backpacks aren’t allowed inside, and photography isn’t permitted — but that just makes you slow down and really take it all in.

The memories stay with you long after you leave 🤍

We’re delighted to welcome our very first guests of the season ✨

While the weather may be a little damp outside, inside you’ll find a warm, beautifully styled retreat designed for pure comfort.

Over the winter, we’ve added a few thoughtful upgrades:
✨ A brand new electric power shower in the ensuite
✨ A larger vanity unit and basin, combining style with practicality
✨ Elegant laminate tiling for a fresh, contemporary finish
✨ Subtle panelling in the kitchenette, adding charm to the dining space

Our cosy one-bedroom apartment offers the perfect setting to relax and unwind after a day exploring.

We look forward to welcoming guests from near and far for a truly special stay 💛

This evening we've had an incredible Northern lights show. My camera is a bit old but we were out for over an hour enjoying the lights dancing
