“The location, the bungalow was very ...”

The location, the bungalow was very spacious.

The location, the bungalow was very spacious.

“This is a lovely, well-appointed, ...”

This is a lovely, well-appointed, property in a beautiful location, but there was something strangely missing. Yes, it was warm and comfortable (leather reclining sofas) with a luxury kitchen (granite work surfaces) and a large TV, but the owner has clearly not actually spent a night there or some things would have become obvious. There is nowhere to hang a wet coat or leave your boots (this is NW Scotland after all), there are no pictures on the walls which makes it feel like an empty art gallery, and a place called Hilltop in this part of the world would be expected to have at the very least, a view of the sea, but in this it fails. Also, a note for future residents, the sign for the cottage is sometimes hidden by the wheely bins at the roadside, so it can be difficult to find in an area where there is limited phone signal to call the caretaker!

“A fabulous location, beautiful ...”

A fabulous location, beautiful scenery and away from it all! The cottage could be perfect - it could definitely do with somewhere to hang coats & towels (backs of chairs will eventually take its toll on them!). The kitchen could have done with a good clean. The cooker hob, pots & pans, cutlery & drawers weren’t clean (we cleaned them all before being able to use them). Great facilities otherwise, washing & drying always a bonus. No WiFi is good for some but unfortunately not for us as it meant not being able to keep in contact with family at home & mobile signal not great. All in all we had a great time here, the children loved it too.

“We have been before so know what to ...”

We have been before so know what to expect. Still needs some coat hooks in lobby! Some cracked wine glasses and some pans in bad state not of our making. For us this is a good location but perhaps not for everybody due to lack of Wifi and some other local amenities.

Great location for us. We are keen on being outside walking and birdwatching. Facilities at the cottage were excellent, however on one small point a mirror in the bathroom would be helpful.

“This wasn't a holiday but the ...”

This wasn't a holiday but the cottage was booked so I could work in the area. I stayed on my own so the ease of operation of all the facilities was important. I was not disappointed. The cottage is virtually brand new as are the contents. Yes the garden could do with some landscaping and a sign on the gate would be a good idea but that is being picky. Owners couldn't be more helpful or friendly. Overall Great.

“The cottage is new, equiped to a ...”

The cottage is new, equiped to a high standard in the way of appliances, heating and hot water systems and furnishings. Well situated, private, peaceful and quiet, in striking distance of Kylesku and Achiltibuie. Ian the caretaker is friendly and helpful, and stays nearby. The property is good value for money and if the owner wishes to add a final dressing of items such as pictures, mirror in bathroom, cushions, hooks for wet jackets, chest of drawers in the fitted wardrobes and one or two more pieces of kitchen equipment the cottage could easily command a much higher rental figure. The addition of a guest book for previous guest advice and wildlife spotting would be helpful, as would an owners folder with instruction sheets, information on nearest recycling points and local walks. Flossies beach hut is in walking distance and is well stocked with basics. Thank you for a great chill out holiday in a stunning area!

The location was amazing and it was a nice private cottage situated in beautiful, unspoiled land where the sheep are free to roam. The sights were spectacular and the beaches stunning.

The property

Lochinver 6 miles.

On a pretty hillside, this modern detached cottage has lovely open views and comes with a gentle pace of life, located in the small, friendly community of Clachtoll, just six miles from the fishing port of Lochinver in the Scottish Highlands.

From your lovely cottage you will see sheep and horses grazing in neighbouring fields and the area is one of natural unspoilt beauty.

This cottage is warm and spacious and is ideal for a family or group of friends who want to be in a truly get away from it all location amongst fabulous scenery.

In the sitting room there are recliner sofas and a cosy woodburning stove to relax in front of at the end of an active day, whilst the kitchen/diner is a very sociable space with a large central dining table where great meals can be prepared and enjoyed.

Completing the accommodation are two comfortable bedrooms, a smart bathroom with freestanding bath and a utility room with WC.

The cottage occupies an elevated location and offers open views across Clachtoll, along with an enclosed and private garden where children can play safely.

Within easy reach is the rugged coastline and beautiful white sands of Clachtoll beach complete with its stunning mountain views, and Lochinver is a short drive away with good local services.

The area is ideal for touring with its quiet single track coastal roads ideal for exploring the small villages along the way and always have your camera at the ready as wildlife and marine life are abundant.

What a simply perfect holiday location.

About the location

LOCHINVER

Inverness 103 miles.

Set amongst the spectacular mountainous scenery of Assynt, Lochinver is a busy little fishing port with a regular fish market. The Visitor Centre houses a display on the history, geology and wildlife of the area. There is a pottery with craft shop and a range of other retailers. Lochinver also offers excellent fishing, while walkers flock to the line of distinctive and isolated mountains which run parallel to the coast. Heading north from Lochinver, and a couple of miles off the main road, is Achmelvich a tiny bay village with stunning white sands and turquoise blue water. The stunning views at the hamlet of Culkein, and the amazing seascapes at Stoer point make travelling the scenic west coast road a delight. A host of other natural attractions are within reach, such as Britain’s highest waterfall at Loch Glencoul, and the remote Kerrachar Gardens. A tranquil and picturesque base.
