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.

Super cottage, very clean, well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Great views of hills and mountains beyond. Sofas have been replaced recently and very comfortable. King bed has very firm mattress. Bath towels on the small side. Walk from garden to nearby cove took us about 20 mins. Sheep and cows all around. 25 mins drive to Lochinver for shops, restaurants etc. There are small seasonal pop ups nearer. Ullapool about an hour away. Scenery is amazing. Beaches beautiful and water so clear.

Das Haus und die Ausenanlagen waren wirklich top gepflegt und gut in Schus. Alles war wie beschrieben und hat perfekt funktioniert. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und die einmalige Umgebung und Ausicht sehr genosen. Ein perfekter Ort, um sich zu erholen.
