Accommodation & Comfort
Achloist Holiday Cottage offers a Three-Bedroom House with a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a washing machine. The property includes a cosy fireplace and a private entrance that reveals garden, lake, and mountain views. Guest reviews note the very comfortable beds and the well-stocked kitchen with all items needed to prepare food.
Outdoor & Scenery
The property has a lovely front garden with a bench overlooking the scenery, along with an outdoor seating area and bicycle parking. Regular visits from local deer are observed in the garden. The views of the Assynt mountains are described in guest reviews as fantastic.
