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.

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

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 :)

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.

Great host and loved the location and accommodation. Garden was great for the dogs and chilling with a beer and beautiful beach 5 minutes across the road. Locals and neighbours were very friendly Travelled to John ‘Groats, The Black Isle and Nairn during our stay. Highly recommend as either a base for touring or just a peaceful break in beautiful unspoilt surroundings.

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!

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

Julie and Phil’s little cottage is hands down one of the best & cleanest Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The location is perfect and easy to find, with fresh sea air that makes the stay even more refreshing. Communication was excellent throughout, and I couldn’t recommend it more. I’d 100% book again. Thanks, Adam!

When we arrived at Juliet’s cottage we instantly knew we were in for a treat. With lambs and bunnies literally outside the front door - we felt fully immersed in nature. The cottage has been beautifully decorated with extra special touches including the local artwork and textiles. We absolutely loved our stay, and feel incredibly grateful that we were lucky enough to experience Skirnish Cottage whilst on a trip visiting Scotland (where my family is originally from) with our 1 year old before our next baby arrives!

what a fabulous stay! we had the best time and the weather was perfect. and in such a beautiful location! we will definitely be back! very helpful owners and the cottage was absolutely gorgeous.. can't think of one single complaint! looking to book again 🤩

friendly hosts who are easy to converse with and nice to be around exceptional garden with multiple outdoor sitting areas, some of which are quite private due to the screening provided by the trees and plants exceptional attention to detail and economy of design in the living spaces fixtures and equipment appear new and are of high quality the place feels like a country house, but it's five minutes from the golf course

Magical stay! So looking forward to a return trip. We felt right at home and enjoyed exploring Skye and Sleat.

My group of 4 really enjoyed our stay at Ken’s! We were here for 2 nights. We had a car so it was easy to go out and about. The city centre of Inverness is very close with a lot to see and eat. We enjoyed an afternoon at Culloden Battlefield, lunch at Playback, dinner at Cheese & Tomatin and a drink at McGregor’s. We also visited Castle Tavern for a dinner one night. Would definitely recommend Ken’s stay!

Being a long time traveler I can honestly say that Alex’ place is THE most beautiful house I have ever been. We were looking forward to “coming home” after each day trip. Alex has been more than a host. It felt like having a friend on Skye. We will definitely be back - we loved it ◡̈

We thought the cottage was absolutely charming, comfortable and attractively furnished and the views were stunning. Carbost is a lovely village and the people in the shop and the Post Office were really friendly and helpful. We did have a bit of trouble with the lock on the front door but some WD40 would probably fix that and it certainly did not spoil our overall enjoyment. Would definitely Red Mountain Cottage

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 :-)

We had a lovely stay at Tracey’s guesthouse with its amazing views. Had a great meal at the pub as recommended by James, and cooked in the well appointed kitchen our second night. We had everything we needed and appreciated the breakfast provisions so thoughtfully provided. Would highly recommend!
