From this Friday we are officially CLOSED for the winter bar one or two long standing bookings over Christmas. A massive thank you to all our guests this season, for coming and staying at the Loan and also baring with me as I very much learned on the job my first season of running a guest house. Nick the owner and myself have some BIG plans for the Loan while we are shut, including brand new front windows being put into the original part of the house.
Stay tuned for updates over the winter months as I'll be updating as much as I can while being heavily pregnant with baby girl 😂
We are taking bookings for 2025. Our books open currently from April 4th. If anyone would like to enquire about booking the loan please either message on here or email me at [email protected].

Much love from all of us at Team Loan

I've been a bit quiet on here the last few months, I've been busy growing a new member of the team!

I am so pleased with the blinds and curtains for the Sunroom!! Made by ETags Unique. Ancient Mackenzie tartan for the curtains and a blue/green for the blinds to compliment the tartan. Thank you Lewis M Mcdonald Mcdonald Garden Services and Findlay Kinnaird for hanging them for me.

What a glorious day weather wise we've had in the north West of Scotland. Husband and brother in law are up at The Loan hanging the new blinds and curtains made by Eileen target. Photos to come later!

3 years ago today I attempted to climb one or the local hills, Cul Mor, a Corbet just before Elphin. I didn't quite make the top but the views were stunning. Only a rough 30 minute drive from the house, if you are into hill walking I'd definitely recommend trying this one!

Bedrooms all ready for our guests. Master bedroom freshly painted by myself and a lovely friend I roped into help.

No one can say I'm not committed! Think there may be more paint on me than the fence 🤣

A beautiful day in Coigach. Back up to do last bits before first guests of the season arrive. Nothing like cutting it fine! Hard to blame the weather on a day like today.

Snow is back on the Coigach hills! A snowy commute with the husband up to the house today
