Clearwater House

Wonderful, comfortable house in a beautiful setting.

It felt like home away from home with glorious views. The house is decorated very nicely and is a welcoming and relaxing space to be. Lots of wildlife can be seen around the wooded garden, particularly birds (bird food is provided to keep the busy feeders topped up) and we had a few sightings of Merv the pine martin which was a huge bonus. We look forward to returning next year!

This is a beautiful comfortable cottage set in a stunning location.

The views from the windows are amazing and changing all the time as the weather and light levels change. It is in a remote location as shown on the details, but if you want peace and tranquility this is it. You can walk from the cottage to a private beach on the loch, each day we headed out in the car and explored another bit of the stunning scenery in this part of Scotland.

Stunning!

! We had a lovely week here. The location is idyllic with a short walk to the Loch. We were lucky with the weather and so had quite a bit of time paddle boarding and swimming in the loch. The house is also lovely and had everything that we needed. There is all sorts of wildlife as well _ birds, pine marten and badgers. I would definitely recommend and would also return.

Clearwater House is in an amazing location with amazing scenery - but without feeling too remote.

It is spacious and comfortable with everything you could need. The views across the loch are stunning and it is so peaceful. The house is well equipped and the furniture and decor are all high quality. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect property for 4 sea kayakers.

Launching from the private beach for local paddles or taking the boats to other launch points that were never too far away Very peaceful idyllic setting, looking forward to returning next year.

Another excellent visit to Clearwater House.

This lovely property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Not only that, but the surroundings, the views and the wildlife are stunning. Saw the gorgeous Pine Marten again which was a delight. A great location for striking out to Kilchoan and taking a boat trip to the Treshnish Isles to see the amazing puffins on Lunga and Fingal's Cave on Staffa. Would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Heerlijk verblijf in fijne verzorgde cottage.

Tot in de details verzorgd. Prachtige locatie.

Beautifully furnished and well equipped (only thing we couldn’t find was a dustpan) - we worried a little about towing our kayak/bike trailer back up the track, but in the end it was absolutely fine.

Lots of visitors to the bird table throughout the week.

We had a wonderful Christmas week in this beautiful cottage in the most idyllic location.

It was spacious and well equipped with every utensil required to cook a special Christmas feast. It was immaculate with sumptuous beds and bedding. We made the most of the surrounding area climbing some hills at Morar, including a hike up to the cross. We took in a visit to Castle Tiioram passing some amazing beaches en route. We also made a special trip to Camusdarach beach near Arisaig and Larachmhor Gardens and Princes Cairn followed by a trip to The Bakehouse at Mallaig for delicious pastries and coffee. It was lovely and cosy by the log fire in the evening and the logs were in plentiful.supply. (We did top up the log tin!) The birdlife was something else and what a spectacle to see whilst cooking breakfast. We also fed Mervin the pine martin each night and on two occasions the food disappeared. On Christmas morning we walked from the house to the beach and took a dip in the freezing cold water. It was bracing to say the least but we soon warmed up and had a truly magical day. We would hesitate in recommending Clearwater to anyone else as we would like to keep it all for ourselves!!! Thank you claire

The house is very stylish and has a lovely view to the loch, the meadow (with sheep) and the wood.

All is quiet and peaceful and you feel quiet alone, because the neighbouring houses can‘t be seen. The hall is properly equipped for walkers and you can store all your gear there

Superb property .

Woke up every morning to tremendous view of Lochailort . Great facilities on patio outside and house itself has everything you need as well as being extremely comfortable . Definitely one of the best properties I have stayed in

Marvellous property, great facilities and amazing location.

Must be our fourth time staying at Clearwater and it's always been a great experience. Fantastic views of Loch Ailort from the lovely lounge and just a short walk to its beaches/shore. Garden full of colourful shrubs and bushes at this time of year too. Plenty of really interesting wildlife as well. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

We spent a wonderful week at Clearwater house.

The beautiful view, the birds and the beautiful walks made the house the perfect base for a very pleasant holiday. We were very pleasantly surprised by the welcome package on the dining table.

Our favourite booking so far .

.been using sykes for over 10 years. onto our 7th booking ...amazing property backed up by idyllic surroundings ..we would definitely be recommending this property to anyone and everyone ...The Sneddon family from Lanark

A spacious, comfortable house in a stunning area.

Many interesting local walks and hills to enjoy. Bird feeders and the hope of spotting the badger or pine marten entertained us at new year. We would certainly want to revisit Clearwater.

love the place thank you so much for xmas hamper.

log burner ace nice xmas stay will be back.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful house - the view and surroundings are the definition of holiday!

Your water was like a shower medicine for the skin - we only had „fun“ with midges and the heating was a bit too warm in the house, otherwise just wonderful!

A lovely house in an absolutely stunning location.

It was so peaceful and relaxing. The house itself was very clean and comfortable. The highlight was being able to just launch our canoe straight from the beach and we were lucky enough to have the nearby Sandy Bay all to ourselves all week. What a treat it was have badgers and a pine martin visit us every night. If you like wildlife, peace and quiet, stunning views and kayaking then this place is just perfect!

Perfect holiday venue for us.

House had everything we needed and was very comfortable; decor very tasteful...and lovely and warm too. It was a nice touch finding more birdseed at the house than we had brought with us! Really enjoyed the surroundings and local wildlife...three badgers and two pine martens on the same evening. Just to note...the "neighbours" at Coopers Knowe seemed to think the secret beach was their "own private beach"; we overheard this comment one day at the beach....it was not a problem, but the website for Coopers Knowe does use the word "private" (maybe an overinterpretation of "private" as opposed to "Private"?

Een geweldig huis op een sprookjesachtig mooie plek.

Het leuke privé kiezel strandje en genoeg te zie , mooie wandelingen in de omgeving en met de auto prima uitvalsbasis voor wat grotere dag trips Maar het uizicht vanaf het huis over het Loch was alleen al een cadeau. Fijne bedden , mooie inrichting en alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig. A great house in a fairytale beautiful place. The nice private pebble beach and plenty to see, beautiful walks in the area and a great base for larger day trips by car. But the view from the house over the Loch alone was a gift. Comfortable beds, nice decor and everything we needed was there.

The property is in a very secluded location with outstanding views across the sea loch & mountains.

I enjoyed the walks from the property including finding the ‘secret beach’. Inside the toaster is rusted The temperature in the house was chilly at times & the heating did not come on at all during my stay Even though I do not go on holiday to watch tv, Unfortunately I do feel that there is an inaccurate description about the TV. You state TV. You do not mention that this is a smart tv, or that there is NO signal - so you are unable to watch ‘ live ‘ tv. You also do you mention that you have to log into the apps on the smart tv, create an account , just to watch a program - not everyone is that tech savvy, or after an 8 hour car journey something you want to start doing.

This was out third stay at Clearwater House - once again a really lovely experience.

The property is in a fantastic location, stunning views over the loch and a short walk to the beach. The house itself is really comfortable and well equipped and perfectly placed to explore a wide area of this fantastic country - including boat trips to places such as Skye, Mull and the Small Isles of the Inner Hebrides. Just gets better each time and would recommend to anyone.

We loved the accommodation, very comfortable and had everything we needed.

The location was superb, the view from the house was amazing, hours were spent watching over the loch to the mountains, the changing colours, the peace and serenity all made for the most wonderful week. Many memories to truly savour.

Really enjoyed our stay at Clearwater House, property was clean and comfortable and has everything you need.

Think it would benefit from some updating in the en-suite bathroom which would also benefit from some improved lighting, as would other areas. We were a little surprised to learn 2 days before our holiday that as the water comes from a private supply it is brown, as this is not mentioned in the details on line. We were informed it is safe to drink downstairs but the appearance is slightly off-putting so we did use bottled water for drinking, cooking and teeth cleaning. We did have an issue with the heating during our stay, which we informed the owners about and they were very helpful in trying to sort it out, but there were still radiators that didn’t get warm, however, we still enjoyed our stay very much. Would never tire of the views from the house and was lovely being able to walk down through the garden to the beach.

Our second stay at this wonderful property.

The location is amazing with wonderful views across Loch Ailort. The house and grounds are exceptional and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend to anyone.

Our high expectations of the house were surpassed.

The house was very comfortable and the decoration and furnishings were very tasteful. The house was very clean. We appreciated having bird food provided, this was a nice touch. The view was wonderful and we loved having access to the shoreline.

Clearwater house is an amazing, comfortable house.

A lovely base for exploring and enjoying the area. The views from all the windows are lovely, we could have sat in the lounge for hours watching the ever changing view of the clouds, and sometimes sun, move across the mountains in the other side of the loch. We even had a daily visitor, a buck roe deer, who we named Donald! patrolled the grass land in front of the loch. Everything you may need is provided, and so clean. Thank you for such a relaxing holiday.

A lovely house in a dream location.

Perfect for a bit of peace and quiet with fantastic scenery all around.

This an outstanding property.

The lochside setting is perfect, with lovely views and and access to two beaches. Because access to these is so limited, they are to all intents and purposes private. A problem developed with one of the showers during our stay and the owner arranged for its prompt repair. This was typical of her helpful approach: unintrusive but available if needed. We couldn't have asked for more.

Brilliant location for lovers of unspoilt west coast scenery.

The secret beach was fabulous for adults and children alike with sand all day. We saw plenty of birds but fewer than we used to years ago. The house has a very spacious living/dining room overlooking the loch. The directions need to be improved. Both we and our son coming from the Corran Ferry and Strontian drove past it. From the ferry the track entrance is around 50 metres past Wildwood which has a clear sign. The Clearwater name is on a stone (not boulder size) under a taller sign saying Roman Lodge.

Absolutely stunning location on the Loch, amazing views from the house and garden.

The house is lovely and very well equipped. Beautiful beaches close at hand - especially the extremely secluded beach just a short walk through the woods. We used the house as a base to explore and visit the islands of Skye Mull, Eigg and Rum - scenery breathtaking - it really is Big Country and really has to be seen to be properly experienced - we would go back to Clearwater in a flash, a really lovely place.

Brilliant location, absolutely stunning!

Amazing views, beaches and walks. The house is very comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Great location, great cottage, recently refurbished to a high standard.

Had everything we could have wanted. Very welcoming. Shame about the weather!

The location was superb and the cottage was of a generally high standard.

However, the stay was marred by the fact that the shower in the family bathroom did not work. It only had scalding hot water or cold, there was no adjustment. The dial was turned as far as it would go on the hot side when we arrived. The en-suite shower was heated separately and the hot water ran out after 2 showers. Due to water heating restrictions, there was insufficient hot water for a family. On some days, members of the party went without a wash or there was no hot water to wash the dishes as neither could be undertaken with the hot water resources we had. There was a hot water boost switch but it took 2 hours for the water to heat. It was not possible to contact the owner as there was no mobile signal. There was no address to allow us to visit. We were not met by anyone nor did anyone call to greet us so the issue could be resolved during the stay.
