An absolutely beautiful, well situated, comfortable and clean cottage with everything you could need provided. An unbeatable view from the front, lots of wildlife to see and we were even treated to a herd of deer walking straight past our door at twilight! The owner was amazingly helpful (even tracked us to the local coffee place and called us back within 5 minutes of leaving as we’d forgotten something!!)if you want a rural retreat within half an hour of the gorgeous Lochinver, then this is for you! Would have given it more than five stars if we could have!!

Comfy, well equipped, dog friendly cottage. Beautiful views in a peaceful location. Plenty of walks from the cottage. No local amenities, apart from The Jammery cafe ( Though this was only open on Thursdays, despite it stating Thursday-Saturday)but we new this when booking, so was not an issue! Would definitely recommend.
