A peaceful, comfortable and well-equipped cottage. It was well-situated, there were lots of beautiful walks from the cottage or within a short drive. There was an amazing view round almost every corner. All in all, a lovely holiday.

This appealing traditional cottage is ideally situated looking over Lochinver, wonderfully quiet without having to repeatedly negotiate the single track coastal roads unless you want to! We found it ideal for two people, really comfortable, well equipped and cosy, and had a fabulous holiday exploring Assynt.

Convenient location, just a short walk from the shops with a nice garden, which would be even better when able to enjoy outside in summer, though still nice in March. Kitchen was very well equipped. I was surprised there was no wi-fi, which I have had in much more remote places. I realise it doesn't say there is wi-fi, though something you come to Read moreexpec and caught me off guard. Might not be an issue for some, personally I had to conserve data. I felt the place could be a bit cleaner in general. Hide
