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.

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.

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.
