Property code: SU301

In a peaceful, secluded location close to the charming village of Lochinver, you’ll find this beautiful traditional farmhouse that would be perfect for a family or group of friends holidaying together, along with their best four-legged friend. With two good-sized bedrooms and comfortable living and dining areas, this house feels like a haven of rest and relaxation. Here you’re literally surrounded by miles of traffic-free countryside making this property an ideal base for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers alike.

 

The farmhouse is cosy and welcoming with traditional features such as a woodburner in the lounge and wooden flooring, sitting comfortably alongside modern sofas and soft furnishings. The separate dining room is a wonderful space to gather and discuss the day’s adventures over an evening meal, with the pretty sash windows providing diners with the most incredible show of nature. A drying room adjoins the well-equipped kitchen and is an ideal place to keep muddy wellies and wet dog leads. Upstairs you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms with beds perfectly positioned to be able to drink in the views over the green valleys to the moors, the perfect spot for a morning coffee.

 

Situated on the glorious Assynt Peninsula, this property is at the mid-point of the single-track road that winds itself around the coast. After you’ve unpacked and made yourself at home, you’ll want to head straight outside to stretch Fido’s legs and may just be rewarded with a glimpse of a basking seal or a deer grazing whilst on your stroll. The village of Lochinver is just 12 miles away and was named by The Guardian as Scotland’s new foodie hotspot, with an award-winning home-made pie shop selling the most delicious sweet and savoury pies.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. We used it as a base for hillwalking the spectacular Assynt hills: Quinag, Conival, Ben More Assynt & Suilven. We saw red deer in the garden and were spoilt for choice of wild swimming spots. The host was responsive to our phone call.
