Property information
A handsome, 18th-century, listed building of character, Borrodale House is decorated and furnished in keeping with its style, creating a peaceful, light yet cosy, atmosphere. The house is comfortably appointed for self-catering groups of up to 16.
Borrodale Bay, just a short walk from the house, is the place where Bonnie Prince Charlie first set foot on the Scottish mainland on the 25th July 1745. One year later saw the Prince fleeing from the forces of King George, and he returned briefly to Borrodale before leaving for the Hebrides: the original house was then burnt down in 1746.
Just a ten-minute walk along a sweeping pasture to the shores of Loch nan Uamh in the Sound of Arisaig affords the visitor some of the finest west coast views, sweeping down from the Isle of Eigg to Ardnamurchan Point and beyond.
The area boasts many lovely, white sand beaches, classic mountain and hill walks, and opportunities for sailing, skiing, fishing and golf.

PSWhat a lovely house. We had a great time. It was my 80th birthday and my three daughters with families were all there, plus a couple of friends our own age. They were very active – climbing mountains, bicycling along the track into Arisaig, kayaking (8 of them) from Arisaig, using the ferries to Skye and to Knoydart as well as plenty of ball games at the house. Table tennis is such a good idea for a rainy day but we only had one and we were able to sit outside a bit and had lovely lunch on the gravel patio on the Thursday after the kayaking. Views across to Eigg and Rhum were glorious and some went to the sandy beaches, with wet suits. Some explored Charlie’s cave. Thank you for leaving such a varied collection of books and stories in the library. We learned a lot about the ‘45. The fishing was not successful. It always seemed to be low tide! The keen fisherman tried from the beach at the mouth of the Borrodale burn and also from a jetty in Arisaig but no luck. On my birthday we walked up to Arisaig House for lunch – we had arranged it with Sarah earlier and she did a lovely buffet. We shall recommend Borrodale to our friends.

IBWe had a great holiday – stunning location, house was wonderful for 16 (us, children, grandchildren), with so much space inside and out. Kids enjoyed riding their bikes around, going to the beach, using the games room. They also put on a play about Bonnie Prince Charlie visiting the house! The house is great, so full of character. Nothing to suggest to improve.

PalmerMy family and friends spent a delightful week at the house, although the good weather influenced our experience the house proved to be ideal for our three families both in size and contents. The living areas were comfortable, spacious, and warm. The kitchen was more than amply fitted. There was a one large 'Master' bedroom, the other bedrooms were all double/twin, spacious enough but sparsely furnished. Outdoors there was a huge amount of space where children could play safely, adults could laze about, no traffic noise and the walk to the small beach was a short one as stated. There were several walks nearby and Arisaig House, a hotel, was also a short walk away The white sandy beaches are a short drive north of Arisaig. In short a comfortable property in a superb location.
