Discover for yourself a place where the comforts of home combine with the rugged beauty and timeless enchantment of the Hebrides to make for an unforgettable holiday, whatever time of year. Decorated to a high standard with modern luxuries, you would be forgiven for believing that this traditional stone cottage with its deep set windows and huge lintels feels strangely new, because it is. But not for the reasons you might think. The cottage walls hold a far deeper secret.

A cottage has been on this site for hundreds of years, but sadly these years have taken their toll and the traditional stone cottage was dismantled. However the stories attached to the cottage and its place in Hebridean history couldn't be left to fade. The new cottage was built and clad in the original stone, it has been lovingly decorated, to a very high standard that is simple, but stylish. Riof Ocean Cottage again looks out proudly from the shore of Loch Roag. The memory of its occupants lives on.
