This cottage is gorgeous, it's old fashioned in decor and furnishings but it is in keeping with the cottage. A modern look wouldn't suit it. It is very remote & the roads are single track & quite winding but you get used to them. The cottage is very well equipped and very clean. It has a lovely big shower and the water is always hot.

This was the cleanest cottage we ever been in over 20 years. Bathroom was special with heated flooring and big shower. Cottage had everything although a bigger pot would have been helpful to cook some food to last a couple of days. We appreciated the photographs from their friend Pete Boardman. Mattress too hard a topper will be helpful. Freesat foRead morer TV and dvds very manly themed need variety. Directions need changing simply follow directions to the jammery and take farm track at the top left. Hide

A lovely warm,cozy cottage even on very windy days. Perfect sized,fully enclosed garden for our cocker spaniel to chase his ball and stunning view Pretty much everything you could need is provided. Just be aware it's quite a distance to a shop but that just adds to the magic of the area

A lovely well maintained cottage on a working croft. Almost silent the vast majority of the time and some good walks from the cottage. The enclosed garden has a standard wire fence so you may want to consider a tether if your dog is nosey as the sheep can be very close at times. Ours didn't know what to make of them. So many gorgeous beaches near bRead morey! The road from Lochinver is stunning especially if you get a clear run. Lochinver larder pies! Yum. The butchers is good too. Hide
