Lovely little piece of oasis, beautiful views! Great walks on your doorstep. When the tide goes out, the beach is perfect for children to play, we walked around the coves, views again stunning. If you can drag yourself away from the Chalet and its wildlife this is perfect spot to travel up & around the NC500. Great base for mountain walkers!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at MacLeod Chalet. The location, on the edge of a beautiful bay flanked by hills, is stunning and the area affords many walking opportunities. The attractive chalet itself is warm, comfortable and well-equipped. It feels nicely off the beaten track but Lochinver is still handy for supplies and opportunities to eat outRead more. Hide

Absolutely beautiful chalet in a wonderful location. If your not used to single track roads just be aware this property is only accessible by one but plenty passing places. This wasnt a problem for us personally also be aware the nearest large supermarket is in Ullerpool 35 miles away.

We can highly recommend this chalet - its very comfortable indeed, well equipped and in the most beautiful location looking out over the bay. It was so peaceful and, as we were there in early March, the few other chalets nearby were unoccupied. Theres no light pollution so we had a sky full of stars at night. And some lovely walks.

Having only been vacated a few hours earlier, the place was absolutely immaculate. Can't fault anything about our stay, just a spectacular location. One of the most important things, I think, is a comfy bed, you won't be disappointed here! The view from the chalet is stunning. Just simply the perfect place for a wee holiday hideaway.

Wonderful chalet set in a perfect location. Ideally located for the Assynt area's walking, climbing, beaches, sightseeing and wildlife. As well as being most fortunate with the weather during our stay, we woke every morning to the beautiful loch side view.
