Deer House

This is a lovely place, comfortable, clean, and well maintained.

There is just one really important point: the wifi is almost non-existent. What I hadn't realised (it is not in the description) is that there is another holiday property attached (the Salmon Bothy) and the wifi cannot cope with two devices. So when there was someone in the bothy I had no internet at all. The thing is - that's fine if it is in the description. I knew there was no phone reception and was happy with that. But from the description I had expected enough internet to do basic research or listen to a podcast. And much of the time there wasn't. It is fine for a property not to have internet. But please, please, if it hasn't, don't say that it has.

Lovely house in an amazing location!

Perfect to get away from a busy life. The house has all the basics and is comfortable. Only thing missing was somewhere to hang coats and put outdoor shoes (bearing in mind it rains a bit

Thank you for having such a lovely clean and well equiped property.

Everything was perfect . We had a lovely stay .weather was good a good base to enjoy the area .

Property was clean & contained everything we needed for our weeks stay - even deer visiting the adjacent pasture!

Thank you.

Another fantastic week at the Deer House.

Love the location, a small beach a short walk down the lane and the gorgeous Polin a few minutes drive. So lucky to have amazing weather, deer visiting daily and cuckoos constantly cuckooing. Perfect for a relaxing break.

Lovely, remote location which was just what we needed, and you simply have to enjoy the constant drive in and out.

The accommodation was very comfortable for two people and we were provided with all that we required, including a comfortable bed and warmth. We would have preferred blinds/curtains on the windows in the lounge to block out light at times, and the bad weather in the evenings to make it cosier. Oh, and a knife sharpener! We would definitely recommend it for a break away from a busy life.

The location is wonderful and quiet, great walks in the area.

Loved the reclining seats. The WIFI is better than I expected, even with the stormy weather. Streaming a film on tv works fine. One appliance at a time though. The water pressure in shower is not great and no curtains in the living room feels awkward being used to living in the city, but there is no one to look inside. There should be a dryer according to the description, but I think it is just a washer.

There was no hoover to allow guests to clean.

What a beautiful house in an amazing quiet setting.

Fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and sofas. We had some incredible clear skies at night and saw the Milky Way.

We had a fabulous stay at Deer House.

The accommodation is fab, cosy and well equipped. Deer House is in a great location to explore the west coast of Scotland and I'm sure we will be back. The only negative point which won't stop us booking again is the size of the beds which are a small double.

An extremely remote and cosy stay - owners were very quick to respond to a small issue on arrival - comfortable and very well equipped and in the most fabulous location.

We had a wonderful time - such gorgeous empty beaches nearby and the walk to sandwood bay is an absolute must.

Great stay, very quiet and secluded, but that's what we were after, Internet and phone signal non existent but great for switching off from day to day life , had an issue with washing machine and shower door ,owner very prompt in fixing issues, very friendly chap ,overall great stay lovely place ,well be back

Just had a fabulous week at the Deer House, what an amazing location.

As cold water swimmers the proximity to stunning beaches was perfect, Sheigra, Polin and Oldshoremore were all close by and Durness with more turquoise water and white sand beaches a scenic drive away. The house was spotless and cosy with everything we needed, loved the reclining settee!! Pretty sure we will be back again. PS - apologies to the cleaner as we realised we didn’t empty the fridge only when we came to eat the sandwiches we had made the night before and found we had forgotten them.

Excellent cottage providing everything needed.

Beautiful scenery and very peaceful.

Deer house was such a lovely property in a very peaceful location we very much enjoyed our stay.

Really lovely cottage.

Loved the location. Well equipped. Great what you’ve done with the space. Good shower! Really comfy beds. Enjoyed sitting on the recliner sofa in the evening looking out the sliding doors at the lovely view. And the wee stove made it all just perfect! Would definitely come back again. Thank you

Deer House is beautiful!

Lovely cosy space with great views, nice decking area, and peaceful surroundings. I had an excellent stay here and enjoyed having the log burner for extra comfort. Deer House is well designed and well kitted out, plus it's really clean. Amazing location for walking down to the beach. Thanks for a brilliant stay.

We had a lovely week in the area and in deerhouse cottage.

It was just what we could of wished for. I brought my sister up who is in a wheelchair at the moment. All of the facilities in the cottage were great for her. She could manoeuvre around with ease. It was just the shwer she couldn't use. However this did not deter her from having a great time like me. We come up every year and this is the first time in this cottage. I will certainly be returning at some point in the future

This was our second year staying and we are already booked for next year which says it all really.

Fabulous cottage. We love everything about it.

A fantastic cottage and one of the best of the many we have stayed in.

Everything was top of the range and the whole layout was great. Everything needed was supplied. Great views to wake up to in the morning. The outside furniture made it special to sit outside with a hot chocolate. And the sheep wandering into the garden were a bonus.

Property and location are perfect for a completely relaxed holiday, however, this is really spoiled by such an early 9am check out.

As I’m registered disabled and have mobility difficulties first thing in the morning I cleaned the accommodation the night before. As nothing in Kinlochbervie opens until 10am we had to travel 46 miles before we found a place to have breakfast. 9am checkout is not very hospitable and should be reviewed.

We had a great stay here.

The house is very well equipped and the location was great. We loved the beach 5 mins walk away. The house is very warm and cosy. It was clean and comfortable. The only suggestion I would make is possibly add a welcome book with instructions, not a big deal for us we figured everything out but nice to make sure your doing things as should. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

Great property, well kitted out for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Warm, clean and lots of space both indoors and out. Lovely remote and peaceful area with some great walks and stunning views. Contray to previous reviews there is now a hair dryer provided.The WiFi is OK for browsing but a little patchy for streaming - not unexpected for such a remote location.

Lovely, modern and clean.

Great peaceful location near a beach.

Well-equipped and cosy barn conversion.

Excellent electrical heating with a storage heater in the main living area and adjustable heaters in every other room. Wood stove backup.

Great place located in a stunning area.

Deer House was very clear and well equipped, loved the slow cooker. Personally I found the bed little uncomfortable, slated bed basis don't wark for me.

My sister and I had a wonderful week at Deer Cottage.

It was very well equipped, it had absolutely everything we needed. The cottage was extremely clean and very comfortable. We loved the reclining chairs! The heated towel rail in the bathroom was very welcome too. We liked the location of the cottage as we love all the walks in the area. We couldn’t get out one day due to severe storms but it was lovely just to sit and relax at the window and watch the weather. There was a power cut too but we’d brought candles with us so we were absolutely fine. We had stayed in your other cottage for 3 years in a row and we thought we might be disappointed in Deer Cottage, but it was absolutely lovely and really suited us. In fact we liked it so much that we’ve booked up for next year!

Lovely little property, clean and comfy beds, wifi is very slow but it is only to be expected being so rural.

Only thing it needs is some info on what to put in the recycling bin and instructions for washer etc. But it is a lovely base to explore the area wouldn't hesitate to book again

Deer House is the ideal place to go if you want a peaceful break in beautiful surroundings.

Good base from which to explore the north west of Scotland. The house was very clean and comfortable. Loved the table and benches in the garden. Just about everything you need for a perfect stay. The only thing I would suggest is to add a small table indoors, to be used for glasses or cups, when sitting on the sofa or chair. I improvised by turning the laundry basket upside down and that worked! Would recommend Deer House.

Deer House is lovely, especially if you are wanting somewhere literally in the back of beyond.

We'd read previous feedback and no, there's no hairdryer so we took one and, yes, the duvets are a little thin but we took an extra throw, however, the cottage was warm enough to not even bother. The only small criticism we have is no instructions for anything were left by the owners which would have been handy, especially for the washing machine. Other than that, Deer House was wonderful, in a beautiful, peaceful setting and is highly recommended by us.

Excellent stay at Deer House.

We have stayed multiple times and the standard has never dropped, comfortable and enjoyable place to stay.

Stunning cottage in a beautiful location.

The cottage is well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Loved it

The property when you firs arrived looked good but the double bed was very thin and could feel the slats under, the arm chairs in the living room are well past there best , the cooking equipment is very poor only one pan for frying and it was too big for the cooker ring and did not heat up properly as for the rest !

!! the Wi Fi it must be the least expensive router you can get as it was very very slow the TV is free view as I have at home and works at the property it is very patchy so you need the Wi Fi and there is no radio signal or Phone signal as well and the shower is very poor as well be carful you dont get burnt over all the property is poor for the monies there are charging I have been doing this type of holiday for the past 30 years and I can say it was poor not what I was expecting

A very nice cottage in a very good location.

Also very warm even in January I didn’t need to use the wood burner but I’m sure on the coldest days it’s a welcome addition. Was a little surprised not to find a welcome pack. Milk etc. also no information booklet on how things worked but that aside I really enjoyed my week in Sheigra. The walk up the peat road is a good one and the views over to Sandwood are worth the effort. The beach is ten min walk and is spectacular as is Oldshoremore beach Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful remote break

We had an absolutely wonderful stay over Christmas!

Warm and comfy and so well equipped. It’s a lovely stroll down to the beach (even in the wind and rain!) and stunningly beautiful views all around. The log burner was very much enjoyed!! Remote and wild - exactly what we were looking for! (We also really appreciated the Christmas decs!)

Deer House is very light and airy with a modern open plan interior, well equipped kitchen and very comfortable seating in the lounge area.

Our only issue was that the beds are doubles, not king size as described. That said, they were comfortable. The house feels warm and welcoming as you return from your day out, and the heating can be adjusted as you wish. It is situated in a very quiet area, close to a lovely beach and paths along the headland, and a short drive to the car park for the walk to Sandwood Bay, which was high on our to-do list.

We spent four lovely days at Deer House, great views.

Good location for the area. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. Has everything you need for a self catering vacation. Could not fault anything. We would recommend this cottage to our friends and family.

To say we paid near a£1000 for the week the beds were so uncomfortable, we hardly slept at all, the duvet was the thinnest ever seen and the pillows were discussing, when you've been out for the day sight seeing or walking you expect to come back to a comfy bed you can wrap up warm in, the quilt that was so small it wasn't fit for two people,there was no information about anything near us and nothing to say welcome.

Everything we used in the house, cutlery plates etc were the cheapest and I expect more...I will say it was clean. I did ask advise before about shopping as well were going to be late, but not alot if help. I find paying so much you expect perfection or comfort at least. I have tried for 4 years now on different companies to find the perfect place....I am now giving up and just going to hotels.

Absolutely brilliant cottage in a most idyllic spot!

The cottage is beautifully maintained and always upgrading each year. A real must must visit cottage - immaculate

Lovely and comfortable place, it had everything we needed.

Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Facilities in the area were very limited. Hardly any opportunities to eat out within a 30 minute drive radius.

Had an amazing week at Deer House for our 1st wedding anniversary!

Had everything we needed, great cozy fire for at nights. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Fridge has a small freezer section which was handy. Views to die for! Beach within a 5minute walk was beautiful and also other beaches close by polin & oldshoremore were absolutely breathtaking! Would love to return again sometime!

Very well equipped cottage , everything you need provided .

Very remote but beautiful location. Local beaches just stunning . No phone signal but enough WiFi to be not totally off grid if needs be

Fabulous barn conversion with everything you needed.

.(apart from a hair dryer) . Instructions on how to use the log burner would have been useful other than that perfect.

The only criticism I have was lack of communication from the owners about how to use facilities and what they wanted done with laundry and rubbish at the end of our stay.

What a beautiful cottage and location.

Had everything we needed between me and my little boy. Absolutely loved it. Away from all the hustle and bustle of life. Went on some beautiful drives… Outstanding beaches near by and The cottage was fantastic. Ps. When the sat nav says turn left for the cottage…Don’t….. Just keep going forward for another 100 yards

We stayed for 7 days, 25th-30th October 2021.

What fantastic location if you want isolation and majestic unspoilt views. The cottage was spotless upon arrival, it is very well equipped with, washing machine, dish washer, fridge with small freezer, ironing board and iron, hairdryer, all the pots and pans you're going to need. The cottage is lovely and warm heated by a number of storage heaters, we didn't need to light the log burner as we were warm enough. Thwcottage has WiFi albeit quite slow but it's enough to get emails and it manages to stream Netflix to the main TV. There is a small Spar shop in the nearest village Kinlochbervie, which has most things you're going to need. If you'd like to see Red Deer take a night time drive towards Durness, as we did and saw about 30+ on the road at different times. We're already thinking of booking again for next year. Loved it!

Wonderful stay, cottage well equipped, clean and tidy.

Very relaxing. The Wi-Fi however, was virtually non-existent, with speeds <1Mbs. This is not enough to stream anything of course but not even enough to make a Wi-Fi call on your mobile, given there is no mobile phone coverage in Sheigra either. I think guests should be aware of this as you really are cut-off from the outside world (which we liked and really appreciated on this particular holiday) but if you stay with young family, need to make calls or check emails then you will be left very frustrated with the Wi-Fi availability at Deer House.

The location is fabulous.

..the house is so comfortable....I didnt want to leave!

We loved our stay at the deer house.

Very peaceful and the property was very well equipped. The only downside is the Wi-Fi, we had to buy ours with BT, good but still slow. However, it was nice to switch off from our busy, hectic lives. The beaches are amazing, it’s very worthwhile walking to Sandwood Bay beach. All in all, we would definitely recommend this property, we shall definitely return! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really perfect cottage to act as a base for a family to visit local beaches and local sites.

All the cottage facilities were perfect for us and location was great. The area is beautiful.

This cottage is perfect in the most gorgeous spot!

Comfortable, well kitted out and great outdoor space for your stay. When we arrived the cottage was immaculate and so welcoming !

Limited wood for stove provided with no instructions to obtain more.

A freezer would have been useful.

The cottage was wonderful, had everything you needed and was beautifully done out.

The situation of it couldn't have been better. All in all we had an amazing holiday and most certainly would go back and stay there again.

We had a very enjoyable time at Deer house-the owner provided everything from toilet rolls to dishwasher tablets to laundry capsules.

It was spotless ,new , had excellent clean parking right at the door, had hot water available all the time. The towels provided were lovely and fluffy , nice shower with temperature dial.

The barn was perfect in every way

Stylish, modern and comfortable cottage.

Superbly equipped. Excellent location. Only room for improvement is a potato masher and a smooth door key action. Otherwise perfect. No hesitation in rebooking or recommending.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable.

Well equipped. Good parking. The listing stated WiFi, but there wasn’t any. Once we got over the shock, found we didn’t miss it! Great location for getting away from it all. Fantastic walks nearby. Would recommend it. Old Schoolhouse restaurant is 10 minutes drive away.
