This place is remote; think remote and then think a bit more remote....and that is the whole point, because it is very remote and outrageously beautiful. Probably the most peaceful place we've ever been.You have to appreciate that this is an old croft with over 100 years of history behind it, it is clean and comfortable with everything you need to enjoy your holiday.The surrounding area is absolutely spectacular, I just can't describe its beauty.....many remote and unpopulated beaches nearby to explore.Good base from which to have a drive up to Durness, Balnakeil and Smoo.Definitely also recommend some goodies from Highland Charcuterie, which is very close by.We had an awesome week :)

Arrived after a 7hr drive, overall the presentation of the croft was thst it was very tired and dated. The towels that were in the upstairs doeble room had fresh brown stains. The bed was like lying on concrete and shook like a north sea ferry in a storm with every turn or movement.The cottage was generally dirty, cupboards contained crumbs and the bin under the sink had not been cleaned in months. The shower tray was dirty with hair and debris noted on the drain catcher. The windows needed a good clean and there was fogging of the double glazing layer impeding the ability to look out at the view.The only heating the huge monstrosity of a wood burner that you have to light to get the radiators warm but no thermostat. My husband is 6ft 3inch and when he sat in the 2 seater sofa his legs met that burner. This cottage sleeps 6 but that living area is so small that there is no way 6 adults could eat or sit comfortably. We have stayed in less expensive but way much nicer dog friendly cottages. I did message Llyall the owner to report this on the day we arrived and i sent photos. Sadly, he seemed to just not have a care in the world at all citing thst his cleaners who he pays a lot of money too have just been too busy to deep clean...my reply, any basic clean is needed for customer handover day. Buyer beware thats all i can say! We will not rebook here it was such a disapointment.
