We had a fantastic week at this beautiful house in Cruachan! There was so much space in the house, so well-equipped and a huge bath to die for! The property was so peaceful and quiet - we had some evenings out on the wee bench listening to the birds and watching the sunset, one night we heard owls and the kids loved sitting in the lower sitting room drawing and reading. A great location with lots of walks and beaches nearby. Would highly recommend this lovely house for an Assynt holiday.

An amazing place!

Cruachan is in a beautiful location. The house itself is very spacious, beautifully furnished, with light open space. The bathroom has a lovely big bath, perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking or exploring. Plus a good shower. Another bathroom has a power shower. The bedrooms are comfortable with good beds. The kitchen is great - absolutely everything you need. Wildlife all around ... We put bird food out, and within an hour all sorts of wonderful birds were coming to the feeders. A perfect place for a peaceful getaway. Nearby Lochinver has many good places with great food.

Schönes geräumiges Haus in ruhiger Umgebung

Wir waren mit 5 Personen für 2 Wochen dort. Das Haus ist sehr groß und geräumig und mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. 3 Schlafzimmer und 2 Bäder mit WC sind vorhanden. Sehr schön ist der Wintergarten. Die Lage eignet sich gut für Wanderausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung. Die Landschaft ist atemberaubend schön, egal ob an der Küste oder im Landesinneren. Auto ist aufgrund der abgelegenen Lage notwendig. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war unkompliziert.

Home from home in stunning location

A true home from home. Stunning setting (saw deer and pine marten), loads of space to spread out, great WiFi & TVs (a real hit with my son especially during the Euros), very comfy and warm and well equipped with everything we needed. The area is just magical with superb walks all around. Recommend the pie shop! Definitely want to return.

Beautiful Place

This property was perfect for the four of us, two retired couples. We were there for 3 nights...one of the days during a heavy wind storm. It was a great place to ride out and watch the storm. It was a good starting point for touring the area, and the house itself is well appointed. You do, of course, need a car as there is not public transportation.

Superb holiday

Hello - we had a wonderful time in your beautiful house. The house is so comfortable, and so well-equipped. A true chef's kitchen! We very much appreciated all the little extras - we arrived late and tired after a flat tyre en route, so it was so nice just to come and be able to relax. Thanks too to Chantelle for her help in connecting us to a local garage to help fix the tyre. My 88-year old mother was with us, and the house is very comfortable and accessible for an elderly person. We will recommend you to everyone, and hope to be back. All the best, Fiona and Stan
