A little slice of peace
For our trip, we were really into off the beatten path. This place is in the best way. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach and the sheep baaing in the fields. We took a couple of hikes and just rested from the rest of our hectic trip. It was exactly what we needed. Thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations and for helping us find the highland cows!

Experience at Lairg
Caroline and David were so welcoming. The property itself was extremely cosy, so clean and had everything we needed and more. Caroline messaged us of the activities we can do in the area and it was very helpful. There are also pamphlets in the living room regarding activities in the area. I loved the decor of the place it felt so homely. It was a first experience driving up to the highlands and we throughly enjoyed the stay! We wouldn’t fault anything! Thank you so much for the memorable experience! 😊

Compact but well thought out property with beautiful views. Only downside was the low roof upstairs which meant you couldn't stand up. Knew about this in advance and happy to tolerate it. Owners friendly and helpful.

Toller Aufenthalt in sehr gepflegter Ferienwohnung
Kleine gemütliche Ferienwohnung mit viel Liebe fürs Detail! Besonders hervorzuheben ist der grandiose Blick aufs Meer von der Schlafnische, aber auch aus dem Erdgeschoss! Abgerundet wird diese sehr positive Erfahrung durch den ausgesprochen freundlichen Umgang mit den Vermietern der Ferienwohnung, die für Rückfragen oder Tipps für Ausflugsziele gerne zur Verfügung standen! Sollten wir nochmal in diese Gegend Schottlands reisen, kommen wir sehr gerne wieder!

"living on the edge"
Caroline and David are fantastic hosts. I can recommend a stay 100% and would choose this apartment again at any time. The furnishings are top quality. The apartment is furnished with love for detail and even though the space is small, everything and more is available.

Sehr sauber, tolle Vermieter, irre Umgebung.
Das Häuschen ist zwar sehr klein, aber wahnsinnig liebevoll und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es fehlt an nichts. Einziger kleiner Nachteil ist, dass kein Kleiderschrank vorhanden ist. Nur wenige Regalfächer zur Ablage von Kleidung. Wir waren eine Woche da und trotzdem standen unsere Taschen mitten im Raum. Für 14 Tage hätte der Platz gar nicht gereicht. Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich nett, wir haben uns lange mit ihnen unterhalten. Das Häuschen ist direkt gegenüber vom Strand. Vom Bett aus kann man den Strand und auch den Himmel sehen.Einfach irre. War eine tolle Erfahrung immer wieder gerne!

Eintauchen in die nordwestlichen Highlands - im perfekten Cottage mit warmherzigen Gastgebern
Entschleunigung und Natur pur - und die Erkenntnis Schottland ist überall wunderschön - man muss nicht alle Sehenswürdigkeiten abhetzen, um Schottland zu erleben. David und Caroline haben uns sehr warmherzig begrüßt. Während des Aufenthaltes haben wir sehr wertvolle Ausflugstipps erhalten und freundliche Gespräche geführt. Das Wohl der Gäste liegt beiden am Herzen, dabei sind sie überhaupt nicht aufdringlich. Vielen Dank noch einmal für alles! Das Cottage selbst ist sehr sauber, sehr geschmackvoll und dabei äußerst praktisch eingerichtet: der Raum wird optimal genutzt. Es ist alles sehr gepflegt und neuwertig. Wir haben hier eine sehr gemütliche und heimelige Zeit verbracht. Es fehlt wirklich an nichts. Culkein erreicht man über einige kurvige Meilen Singletrack-Roads, incl. "Schaf- und Kuhverkehr". Das Cottage liegt unmittelbar an einer wunderschönen Bucht und man könnte auch einfach nur stundenlang schauen und genießen. Die herrliche Luft und Ruhe gibt es gratis dazu. Direkt vom Cottage aus, kann man schon einen wunderschönen Spaziergang zum Old Man of Stoer starten. Im Dorf Culkein selbst gibt es die Jammery (Kuchen, Marmelade, Chutney und freitags Pizza - alles sehr lecker!) Der nächste Supermarkt, Tankstelle, Cafes, Restaurants etc. findet sich in Lochinver. (10 Meilen) Tipp: Lebensmittel gleich mitbringen und mit Automatik-Auto anreisen extra Tipp: Besuch Secret Tea Garden Drumbeg, Beach Clachtoll (mit Flossie`s), Clashnessi
