Looking for a REALLY remote cottage - any ideas?

bnabound

Hi everyone, seems like you may be my last hope!

I am in desperate need of a break from people so I am looking for a cottage that is REALLY remote. What I mean by that is I don't want it to be a part of the main house or have any neighbors within a mile at least, I don't want to see a single human for the time I am there!
I haven't been able to find anything online so I'm hoping maybe one of you has stayed at such a place and can recommend it.
I don't care about luxuries, don't need a TV or phone (though electricity would be nice) - just a simple, small, secluded cottage will do. I also don't much mind where in the UK it is.
It may be a bit short notice as I'm looking to go in either of the last two weeks of May but even if nothing's available then I'd still like to know about it for the future!

Thanks everyone! :-)

Yikes, I posted this on the wrong forum - sorry! Feel free to move this to the UK Holiday forum!

www.ruralretreats.co.uk or Landmark Trust have some unusual properties or search for something around Applecross.

Friends stayed in a cottage near Applecross in north west Scotland, near being 10 miles from anyone else!

Near Bala, North Wales. If you take your own 4x4 you only need see the owners when you pick up and drop off the key. In an August week we saw one very lost walker, and the farm manager once - the lambing sheds are right in front of the house. Not miles from anywhere but really feels quite isolated. Great place if you like canoeing too as there is a private lake, but the smaller cottage is next to the lake and closer to the farm.

very isolated - you have a whole island to yourself.

Situated toward the Southeast of East Falkland, Bleaker Island is a small working sheep farm. The Island itself is roughly 12 miles long, 1 mile at its widest and fairly flat making it an ideal location for clients looking for easy walks along the long sandy beaches.

The Island is home to a large colony of Rockhopper penguins of over 750 pairs, along with colonies of Magellanic penguins, Gentoo penguins and many other of the Bird species present in the Falklands , including the odd striated caracara.

The Island also has a number of pools which are home to both white tufted and silver grebe and black necked swans.

Lovely, but not in the UK as requested by the OP and I see that you didn't bother to mention the cost of civilian airfares to the Falkland Islands?

It was a bit of a joke. I didn't realise I was legally bound to quote airfares and such...... :rolleyes:

Get out more....... CHIMP!!!!

Goodness me, you didn't make the grade at charm school then?

It was not at all apparent from your post that you were attempting to be humourous. If someone had asked for ideas for a remote holiday destination worldwide then the Falkland Islands would fit the bill perfectly providing they could afford to get there.
