The property generally receives positive remarks on cleanliness, with guests finding it clean upon arrival. However, there are comments suggesting that the abundance of personal items and dated decor could hinder thorough cleaning.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility, beautiful scenery, and proximity to nature and outdoor activities. It is considered ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and roomy, particularly for smaller groups. However, some guests mention that the beds are small for taller individuals, and there are concerns about inadequate heating during colder periods.
While the property is well-equipped, several reviews point out issues with maintenance, such as non-working showers, inadequate hot water, and dated kitchen appliances. These issues suggest a need for upgrades and repairs.

About this property
Nedd 0.2 miles.
A single-storey detached cottage with spectacular views nestled on a remote hillside above the tiny hamlet of Nedd, along the western shore of Loch Nedd, 2 miles south east of Drumbeg. Offering comfortable well-equipped accommodation, this property is ideal for families wishing to really get away from it all and explore the area. There is an orchard garden, a haven for children, and a large lean-to play area means that even if it rains, they're well catered for. The numerous spectacular beaches along this coast make it a perfect seaside holiday base, as well as something of a birdwatcher's paradise, with the famous puffin colony and bird sanctuary on Handa Island close by. For hill walkers, Munro baggers and climbers, you couldn't be better placed for exploring Quinag, Suilven, Canisp, Ben More Assynt, Benn Stack, Arkle and Foinaven. With salmon and trout fishing available by arrangement, this property has something to please the whole family.
The small crofting township of Nedd (An Nead - Gaelic for nest) is situated on the north coast of the parish of Assynt. Ancient native woods surround Nedd, which overlooks Loch Nedd, a sea loch that's home to a wide variety of sea birds, seals and otters which appear occasionally. The famous colony of puffins at Handa Island is nearby. Nedd is an excellent base for hill walkers and climbers who are keen to explore Quinag, Suilven, Canisp, Benn Stack, Arkle, Ben More Assynt, and Foinaven. Trout and salmon fishing and stalking is available by arrangement on the many hill lochs for fishing enthusiasts. The Stoer Lighthouse, the renowned garden of Kerrachar, the caves of Assynt and the incredible geological feature of 'Moine Thrust', are all within easy reach of the holiday destination of Nedd.

Very cosy and includes everything needed for a comfortable stay. We even had red deer visitors during our stay which was a nice surprise. The surrounding area is stunning, and the location was very peaceful. Would love to stay again.

Itâs a property with character and in an amazing location. It had all that we needed and I would definitely go back. We had a week of sunshine which always makes life simpler. We did walks from the house up into the hills and we went along the coast to walk the beaches and bird watch. Very special.
