In the sitting room there are recliner sofas and a cosy woodburning stove to relax in front of at the end of an active day, whilst the kitchen/diner is a very sociable space with a large central dining table where great meals can be prepared and enjoyed. Completing the accommodation are two comfortable bedrooms, a smart bathroom with freestanding bath and a utility room with WC.

Within easy reach is the rugged coastline and beautiful white sands of Clachtoll beach complete with its stunning mountain views, and Lochinver is a short drive away with good local services.
