A cottage dubbed the "world's loneliest house" is an introvert's dream - as it has no neighbours for miles and sits in the middle of a deserted valley.

When choosing a house to live in, some people will look at how close it is to local amenities, transport links, or schools - but if that's you then you should probably avoid Achnambeithach Cottage.

The home in the Scottish Highlands, located in Glencoe near Loch Achtriochtan, is very remote - sitting alone in a deserted valley with only a few trees for company.

The property has now gone viral online as people have described the cottage as "magical" or their "dream home", but they'll have to wait as it's not for sale.

The Scottish Highlands is a destination known for its breathtakingly untouched landscapes, but the area around Achnambeithach Cottage takes it to another level.

With miles and miles of rolling hills, any visitor is sure to be amazed by the sublime beauty of this place.

There are more than a few secluded properties throughout the Highlands, but none seem more so than this tiny white house in Glencoe.

Buried in the nook of the valley, this blink-and-you'll-miss-it snapshot shows the home flanked by huge mountains on each side.

The huge valley has a number of structures scattered throughout.

The cottage itself is a secluded tiny white house that dates back to 1900 known for its "magical" valley views.

The two-bedroom cottage is a perfect getaway for those who are looking for some peace in the secluded area and the beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

It sits between a clump of trees surrounded by lush green summer grass which is generally houses hikers and climbers.

A video documenting the cottage was shared on TikTok, and soon people couldn't get enough of the secluded spot.

One user wrote: "I envy the person who lives in that house. Scotland is magical."

And another said: "When we get older we can appreciate the small simple things. this is heaven. I think most of us would move here in a heart beat."

While one user described it as his "dream cottage", and added: "Wild... I had a dream I lived in a cottage at the base of rocky hills and you had to cross a bridge to get there - This is literally my dream cottage."

A fourth user commented: "That would be well nice to live there the scenery is amazing just Scotland’s amazing."

Another isolated British property is Skiddaw House in Cumbria, which is only accessible by foot, has no electricity or internet and is ideal for anyone looking to escape the real world.
