Access
Tigh-na-Ròs is situated at the edge of the village of Glenelg, 9
miles south-west of the A87 from Invermoriston to Kyle of Lochalsh.
Glenelg is 2 hours easy drive
from Inverness Airport and about 4.5 hours from Glasgow International Airport.
Reasonably-priced car hire is available at both airports.
The
nearest railway station is at Kyle of Lochalsh (25 miles) which is reached
from Inverness.
There are regular bus services from Inverness and Fort William to Shiel
Bridge, whence a taxi can be arranged.
Accommodation
Rosalind
Rawnsley and John Hammersley, your hosts at Tigh-na-Ròs, offer you
a warm welcome in their cosy, well-appointed and comfortable home in a peaceful
setting at the edge of the village. After a long day sight-seeing or
walking the hills you can relax and unwind in front of a log fire in the spacious
sitting-room, followed by a five-course dinner in the French style, served
with wine from our own region of Touraine in France.

Tigh-na-Ros is sometimes available to rent on a self-catering basis, from
£400 per week, depending on the season. For details contact:

The
two bedrooms each have an individual character. From
Sea Room, with en-suite shower room with wash-hand
basin and w.c., decorated with original watercolours of boats and the sea,
you can often be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves pounding the
shore a few hundred metres distant.
Room with a View compensates for the use of a
shared bathroom with a beautiful view up the glen towards the Five Sisters
of Kintail. Both bedrooms have twin sprung 3-foot divans, with duvets,
soft pillows and French bolsters, hospitality tray, and fresh flowers in
season.
Breakfast
In the morning a traditional, generous Scottish or continental breakfast (including
home-made bread and jams) awaits you in the Conservatory, overlooking the
garden and with a view to the north-east up Glen Mhor. We usually have Skye
kippers available, and genuine organic Scottish oatmeal porridge. The
house speciality is mouth-watering scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. We
use fresh local and/or organic produce whenever possible. For this reason
advance booking for dinner is essential.
