Ronnan Cottage is situated on Loch Ewe, 7 miles North of Poolewe in Aultbea village on the coast road between the Aultbea Hotel and the village shop.

During WW2, it was a major refueling depot for the Royal Navy and so the population in this isolated location had to keep 'mum'- very interesting historically. The loch is now visited by RN subs. (Address: 7 Aultbea, IV22 2JA) OS Grid Ref. NG 873891
