Guests say
The Old Surgery in Lairg is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, stunning location, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the enclosed garden, parking convenience, and the thoughtful welcome pack. While most find it comfortable, a few mention hard beds and a funky smell. It serves as an excellent base for exploring local beaches and scenery, with many keen to return.
The majority of guests report the cottage as 'sparkling clean' and 'spotlessly clean', indicating high standards of cleanliness. One mention of a 'funky smell' slightly impacts the score.
The location is consistently praised for its stunning views, proximity to local beaches, and as a great base for exploring the area. The remote setting is seen as a positive aspect.
While many guests find the cottage warm and comfortable, there are a few remarks about hard beds and flat pillows, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally described as well-equipped and maintained, with a well-stocked utility room and enclosed garden. However, the absence of central heating and the need to access the garden externally slightly lower the score.
Guests mention a lovely welcome pack and dog treats, reflecting the host's thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this is noted with appreciation but without expectation.

No smoking.. The Old Surgery is a quirky holiday home in the far Northwest Highlands. Set right in the heart of the fishing village Kinlochbervie, The Old Surgery was the doctor’s surgery for many years through the twentieth century. The current owner can vividly remember visiting as a child and sitting in the waiting room! The Old Surgery we hasten to add has been renovated since being a doctor’s surgery. It is now a cute holiday home waiting to make the perfect base in the far north of Scotland.
This property has two bedrooms, one double and one twin, as well as a shower room and an open plan kitchen/living/dining room make this holiday home a simple affair. It’s very comfortable though and enjoy an enclosed back garden for dogs to enjoy. The location of The Old Surgery and Kinlochbervie is very special. You have a sea view from the property, you look down to Loch Inchard and the harbourside of Kinlochbervie. It’s a working fishing port and you’ll see many boats coming and going at all hours - it’s quite an exciting sight in fact! Being only a few miles off the NC500, and only 30 minutes’ drive from Durness, you’re in a great spot to explore this remote spot of the United Kingdom. It’s a very special place this corner of the Highlands and one you’ll be glad to have a good base to explore from.
As well as Durness you’re close to Kylesku with its fabulous hotel and restaurant and Lochinver isn’t too far away either, but you have so much on your doorstep that you won’t need to stray far during your stay at The Old Surgery. Oldshoremore Beach is just over two miles away, and it’s an absolute dream of a place. It’s accompanied by Polin Beach a headland over and then tiny but stunning Sheigra Beach too. And then a walk from nearby Blairmore will take you to world renown Sandwood Bay Beach. All these stretches of white and golden sand are within John Muir Trust land so you’re seeing these places in the most amazing condition. We could go on and on about the area around The Old Surgery, it’s so special, but we won’t. Instead, we urge you to visit yourself and experience somewhere truly special. You will love having The Old Surgery as your comfy bolthole for a short break or better still a week or more.

We loved our stay here, the location was excellent to explore the local areas, lovely beaches and walks right on our doorstep. The cottage was sparkling clean, a lovely welcome pack upon arrival, the coffee and biscuits were our start to everyday. There is a nice enclosed garden, parking was good right next to the property, easily enough for 2 cars. The rooms were warm and comfortable, the host was lovely and I would highly recommend a stay here if venturing to this beautiful part of Scotland.
