For many the meaning is as fitting today as it was in 631AD when Saint Maelruba formed his monastery then at Applecross Bay. Applecross retains a character of outstanding natural beauty in a timeless place apart.

A little south of Applecross Bay is Applecross Manse. It is a listed Victorian villa from 1824 perched on an elevated site in its leafy glebe of 5 acres, which extends to the shore and looks over the sea, first to the picturesque hamlet of Ardubh, and then onward to the Cullin of Skye and the Inner isles of Raasay and Rona. Local social history has it that the minister would often sit out side his manse and listen to the psalm singing in Gaelic floating over the sea from the outdoor church in Raasay 6 miles away, such is the nature of sound in this part of the world.

There is much to explore and enjoy within walking distance. The mountains behind the manse provide magnificent views across the bay to the Isle of Skye, and just beyond Glastullach is Loch a’Mhinisteir, the private fishing loch of the manse reserved for the church minister. To the front of the villa, there are beautiful walks around the bay to Ardubh and to the coral beaches of its hinterland. There are beaches and pretty coves and impressive hill walks in spectacular settings. The wildlife visitors include dolphin, porpoise, the white tailed eagle, otter, and the ever popular pine marten. And the villa has its own ‘regulars’. Psalm singing from the Isle of Raasay sadly belongs to history, but from the grounds, the expansive views and sunsets can provide other unique drama. Because of the prominence and importance of church, in times past, Applecross Manse found a special place in the hearts of locals. It has an associated sanctity. Moreover, in itself, it provides its own leafy sanctuary, a little apart.

Maximum guest occupancy of 6.

You may not have a mobile signal on the remote Applecross Peninsula, so it is most important not to defer any telephone contact, for access arrangements, until your time of arrival. If you fail to make early contact then entry to the property will likely be delayed, moreover, there will be a service charge for the housekeeper attending where no prior arrangement has been agreed.
