Assynt Cottages
Book a break in Assynt and expect big skies and exquisite
scenery. This untouched corner of North West Scotland is one of the
country's least inhabited regions, with a small population
scattered among several time-forgotten villages, including
Lochinver, Drumbeg and Inverkirkaig. For those
seeking a secluded holiday or searching for adventure, there's
really nowhere better.
One thing's for sure: you'll need your walking boots for
a cottage holiday in Assynt. Everyone from experienced hikers to
keen amateurs will find a place to walk amid this unblemished
wilderness. Two Munros - Ben More Assynt and Conival - provide a
spectacular stomping ground for mountaineers, whilst Assynt's
low level coastal trails are perfect for beginners, offering easy
terrain without compromising on views.
Rediscover adventure on an Assynt cottage break
There's a host of other outdoor activities to take part in
during an Assynt cottage holiday. Wildlife watchers can spend an
afternoon stalking Red Deer; canoers, kayakers and fishing fanatics
can enjoy a range of aquatic pursuits at one of the region's
many lochs; whilst cyclists and golfers will benefit from the
area's rolling, picturesque landscape.
Of course, no holiday in North West
Scotland would be complete without unearthing the region's
rich history and heritage. Like other parts of Scotland, Assynt is
littered with castles and ruins, which hark back to the
region's dark and bloody past. Historic attractions not to be
missed include Ardvreck Castle, Calda House, Glenleraig and
Longhouse, and Hermit's Castle.
Peace, quiet and spectacular natural beauty - if these are on
your Scottish holiday wishlist, take a look at our Assynt holiday
rentals, and get set for an invigorating cottage break in this
unforgettable region.
