Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, warmth, and well-equipped facilities, making it a comfortable base for exploring the Highlands. The cottage is especially appreciated for its attention to detail and thoughtful touches, though a few guests noted the lounge settees could be updated.

Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.
The remote setting and stunning views are frequently praised, with guests loving the peacefulness and proximity to nature. The only minor drawback mentioned is the distance to shops and the single-track road, but this is generally seen as part of the charm.
Guests describe the cottage as warm, comfortable, and cosy, with quality bedding and a great heating system. The only negative mentioned is that the lounge settees are past their best and could be replaced.
The cottage is described as very well-equipped, with a well-stocked kitchen, useful nightlights, games, books, and a utility room for drying clothes. Facilities are consistently praised, with only minor suggestions for improvement.
Guests appreciate thoughtful touches such as nightlights that double as torches, quality crockery, and well-organised information folders. While gifts are not specifically mentioned, the attention to detail is noted; please note that such touches are not guaranteed.

Set in its own grounds and enjoying fantastic views across the sea to the hills and mountain peaks beyond, Creagach is a spacious, contemporary, detached family house. This delightful, architect-designed accommodation is of a very good standard and has a truly spectacular setting on a working croft where sheep and beef cattle graze on the adjacent croftland. The property has a welcoming wood burner, and this eco-friendly house is heated by a ground source heat pump which provides underfloor heating throughout. Guests staying here during the festive season have access to Christmas decorations and a tree, and are welcome to ’trim up’ the property. Creagach is Gaelic for ‘rocky outcrop’, which aptly describes the small natural harbour just below the house that is the ideal place for launching sea kayaks, fishing and from where you can watch wildlife. Seals, otters, osprey and dolphins are all seen along this coastline, and deer and pine marten can be found in the hills. The immediate area is noted for its hillwalking, climbing, kayaking and mountain biking, and the peaks of Suilven, Stac Pollaidh, Canisp, Quinag and Ben More Assynt are all close by. Sea fishing is available within a mile. The pristine, white sandy beaches of Achmelvich and Clashnessie are also just a short drive away, and the village of Lochinver is 9 miles along the coast. This thriving, small fishing port, with its natural harbour, has an excellent selection of local amenities including small shops, pubs, hotels and restaurants. This beautiful coastline is totally unspoilt. Beach ½ mile. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant 9 miles.
The property is located on a working farm.

Wonderfully, comfortable and well-appointed property in one of my favourite areas. It was so warm that I had to turn all the thermostats down and didn’t put on the wood burning stove that I was so looking forward to using. Even the cups and plates were perfect. Unfortunately, I had decent weather for my stay and didn’t spend much time enjoying the great indoors so I’ll need to come back.

Excellent house in a splendid location in a very interesting area. Views really good. This is a remote place, which is what we wanted, but not too far from dramatic coastlines and mountains.

Creagach is a lovely getaway from it all with spectacular views. A real haven of peace and tranquility. The cottage is fully equipped for every eventually (we had a power cut the first night due to a bad storm, the house has very useful nightlights that double as torches) and a wonderfully warm log burner that is perfect for colder nights. We would definitely come again, thank you!
