Cottage holiday rentals in Lochinver

Another long stay at Forge End has come to an end for my self and work colleague. Again a big thank you to Alea for accommodating us and looking after us over the past 13 weeks and during the booking process. Forge End has been a real home from home for us and has made a long period working away from home a really enjoyable. Your home in Applecross is real find for us and if/when we are required to visit Applecross you will be our first choice every time. Thank you again from both of us.

Absolutely fantastic location, with fantastic scenery nearby. Had some wonderful walks, literally behind the property. The BBQ area was fantastic like the hot tub. I can’t say much more, but I will be looking to return ASAP Matthew is a fantastic host and nothing seems to be too much of a problem. Loved the place, oh and the Highland cows are awesome.

This place is amazing. Great location to travel around the highlands. Every drive is more beautiful than the last. The donkeys are the sweetest and the cows are so nice to hear and very curious. The little produce stand had eggs and potatoes to purchase which was great for breakfast before adventuring out. Nice walk into town to the pub and deli, even got to meet Percy the local peacock. Everyone is so very friendly. Robert shared local spots and even where to visit the hairy coos nearby. I am glad we booked this little oasis before the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

Words cannot do justice to this amazing property; it has to be experienced to be believed. Terrific view of the bay just steps out the back door, yet near the center of town. Extremely quiet. Spacious. Comfortable. Fantastic master bath and bedroom, with two tubs, two sinks, and a wonderful shower. An office for work or reading. Powder room and storage room. Good washer and dryer. A good kitchen and dining area. Comfortable sitting room with a telescope for viewing the bay and its ptarmigan inhabitants. Great tv and internet. Separate sauna building with a view of the bay. Amenities galore, including boots for walking on the beach, And the most thoughtful attention to details that you'll ever encounter. Also, the hosts are extremely generous. It's simply lovable.

This place saved our holiday! We were camping in the Cairngorms and ended up with a catastrophic failure of our tent on the second night. Booked this beautiful cottage at 3:30am and checked in just over 12 hours later! Communication from Laura was fab, and she was always on hand with any queries we had. Delightful little cottage, and the bonus of a hot-tub and sauna made for a very different holiday than we had planned in a soggy tent. Would highly recommend, and would certainly look to go back if we stay in this part of Scotland again

Truly “off grid” in the literal sense! It runs on batteries and a generator!! Despite it not having wifi we all had great 4G so never felt truly disconnected thankfully. It’s such a private place with literally nobody for a square mile or more probably. I would say in the winter you will need a 4x4 to access as it’s a mile down a dirt track! Amazing place and can’t wait to revisit :)

Very beautiful and modern place to stay. There was nothing to complain about. Everything you want is there. There were even small snacks from the region and a lot of reading material for the area.

The cottage has been modernised to a high standard and had everything you needed , it’s spacious and very comfortable, The location is beautiful with the bay 3 minutes away which is a sanctuary for seabirds and very peaceful , loved it there and other stunning walks from the cottage which are breathtaking. Alexa’s communication was brilliant throughout, very friendly and organised.

I loved my short stay at Otter Cottage. The location is just beautiful and felt tranquil. The cottage is very well-equipped and comfortable but also avoids unnecessary clutter so feels spacious inside. The big windows looking out over the canal & Beauly Firth were a joy. Helen was friendly and prompt in her replies to messages and, although there was no need for us to meet, I felt welcomed by the thoughtful touches which greeted me at the property. I definitely hope to return. Thank you, Helen!

The cottage was adorable and the location absolutely beautiful! We spent some time on the beach soaking in the sunset over the water. Phil was a fantastic host - super attentive and informative. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

This was a return visit. Ceol-na-Mara is warm and comfy, we love the wood burner stove in the kitchen living area. Fire, cup of tea and a view, perfect. Ceol-na-Mara is a perfect base for discovering Sutherland and the far north. Lots of great walks with gorgeous beaches. Hopefully we will return soon.

This is a very comfortable, clean, homely place. It is airy but cosy. Lovely, roomy bedrooms with very comfortable beds and pristine bedding. Close to everything in Cromarty. A really relaxing home from home. Thank you Veronica, for a wonderful weekend

We had a wonderful stay, the cottage is gorgeous and cosy - we felt so at home! Everything was pristine and excellently equipped. The location is remote with beautiful views of the surrounding fields and hills, and allows you to completely switch off. We loved every moment, already scheduling in a return :)

Very cozy home in Luib. There are NO restaurants nearby, either cook at home or eat before you will reach there. Wonderful view from therrace across the Loch to the opposite mountains

Perfect cottage, better than the photos and sparklingly clean! Lovely host who checked in that we had arrived safely and provided lots of extras that made our stay feel like home from home which is not an easy task as we are 10000 miles from home!

There is not enough space in this box for me to express how lovely Fiona and her cottage are! Everything is exactly as pictured (actually even more beautiful than pictured) and Fiona is lovely, incredibly responsive to any messages and happy to go above and beyond for any questions that I had. Everything in the cottage is clearly labeled with helpful instructions for use, and Fiona reviewed everything with me at check-in as well. I was traveling alone, and she checked in with me several times to make sure I was comfortable and ensure that everything was going well. A minor repair was needed while I was there and Fiona's husband quickly addressed it and was very considerate with ensuring the repair was done at a time that I would be out. The surroundings are peaceful and incredibly beautiful. I will absolutely be back!

Wonderful Dairy Farm cottage with lovely host. The store & cafe was wonderful as well. We took the recommendations and drove out to the west coast beach and saw so many wonderful things along the drive! Highly recommend any of Carolyn’s cottages for your stay. We drove into Cromarty and along that coast area and found some great treasures to take back to the USA.

Wonderful place to unwind and relax in front of the loch where you can spot various wildlife. The house is located at a great spot that enables you to easily explore the area. Neil and Carol provided some great tips to do so! A hidden gem when visiting Scotland :-)

impeccable inside. looked new. very thematic. stairs manageable. Close to town, churches, Free Church of Scotland close by. Walk to Restaurants. Lots of hot water in matching bathrooms. nice kitchen. French Press coffee. Perfect for two couples or two golfing buddies. Very Reasonable!

We absolutely loved our cottage! Super comfortable and very clean. It is located in a calm place, but very close to Portree by car. Sarah was always available to help and we truly appreciate all the tips given, it was great

We loved our stay at Copper cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and there are many walks from the cottage. Also an easy walk into town and to the river. The cottage is well equipped and very clean. Comfy bed and nice toiletries. Parking. We saw red squirrels and red deer and many birds. Very enjoyable stay.

Assynt Cottage is a really super place to stay. It was everything we had hoped for. Comfortable and well-appointed, it was so nice to come back to, after a day in the hills. The location is unbelievably beautiful. We would love to stay again.
