Laide is situated in Wester Ross on the NW coast of Scotland.

It is within a few minutes drive of stunning local beaches at Gruinard and Mellon Udrigle. This lovely detached cottage/bungalow is in a rural location but is not remote. The cottage nestles behind and to the side of the village's small rural hotel in an enclosed leafy plot extending to about 0.63 acres. It is accessed by a private tree lined drive which opens to allow ample parking. A few minutes walk from the cottage is the village of Laide which has a well stocked shop with a post office and fuel pumps. Primary schooling is available at Balnaluib in the neighbouring village of Aultbea with secondary education being provided in Gairloch. The local Medical Practice has centres in Aultbea and Gairloch and offers a very high standard of patient-centred healthcare. There is a leisure centre in Gairloch and swimming pool in Poolewe. The 214 acre wood in Laide is owned and looked after by the community and is home to a wide range of wildlife including pine martens, badgers, otters and deer. Other outdoor activities in the area include fishing, sailing, hillwalking, mountaineering and snorkelling. The village hotel is currently being renovated.
