For those seeking the ultimate getaway, look no further than 'Jack' and 'Jill' Strawbale Houses in Strontian on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. Offering spell-binding views, in these beautiful two-bedroom Scandinavian-inspired, cruck-framed lodges.

This modern property with a 'minimalist' style, emanates charm and style but perhaps one of the most endearing features, is a rare chance to offer those who are unable to climb a hill themselves.

These properties are the 'perfect perch' to enjoy the breath-taking views afforded at this elevation, with 'Jack' having disabled facilities and wheelchair access throughout. To fully appreciate these spectacular views, expansive balconies can be found on each level, as well as floor to ceiling windows which are all south facing and make the most of the daylight.

The lower decks include hot tubs, an outside seating area, a BBQ, and a chimenea (with loungers) to sit around. Guests won't feel the need to go far, with Loch Sunart and the Morvern Hills acting as a backdrop, whilst enjoying some al fresco dining, or in the evenings a spot of stargazing under a clear sky.
