Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. This pretty detached single storey cottage is set in its own grounds at the end of the Achnacarnin township road on the Stoer Peninsula - one of the most breathtaking beautiful locations on the renowned north west coast of Scotland. With views across the sea to the Assynt Mountains beyond, this cottage has been built to maximise its idyllic location.
Whilst it is a modern property, the main living area takes its inspiration from a traditional croft house and byre, with high ceilings and wood burning stove, surrounded by Caithness stone. The Gaelic name translates at The Green House; this alludes not only to the outside paintwork, but also to its eco friendly green credentials with a heat pump supplying heat and hot water, which was pretty innovative when it was built. Shops, pub and restaurant 8 miles.
The laundry service picks up on Thursday mornings. They don't need to see you or come into the house as they collect from a separate place, but it can be a shock to see someone walk past the window in the early morning so we thought we'd warn you.

Second holiday here in this amazing location; love this area of Sutherland and the views from Taigh Uaine are unsurpassed!Not luxury, but everything you need & more. Can sometimes be a little chilly, but the logburner and unlimited supply of wood more than makes up for this. 180 degree views from windows, with sea/mountain views to the North, East & South.Already booked next years 2 weeker!

Great week's holiday, the cottage was cosy and warm, and well equipped. Fantastic views, and dark skies for stargazing. Excellent base for the Assynt mountains, and the coastal drive to Kylesku is beautiful.
