CRUACHAN HOLIDAY HOME GUEST REVIEWS

We have really enjoyed our latest stay at Cruachan. The house is a fantastic base and I have no doubt we will be seeking to stay there again (and again).

We loved our stay. The AirBnB was amazing. So spacious and well equipped. We absolutely loved it.

We hadn’t been to the north west coast for many years, having visited many times when we were younger, often with friends, and finally got round to returning with those friends. It was a stunning stay. The house had every single thing we needed and worked well as a base for some fab walks, a great deal of fresh air, as well as reading and looking at maps and cooking. We will have many happy memories from our stay. Thank you William!

We had a fantastic stay at William’s property -clean, spacious (much more room that the photos suggest) and very well appointed. The location is perfect for exploring the natural wonders of Assynt and not far from Lochinver for local restaurants and shops. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful house… Lots of space… Silence which I like… Nothing to add, nothing to subtract… Best regards

A beautiful house in a beautiful location with lots of easy access to hikes around the area

We can fully recommend this lovely house. Very well situated in the landscape with fantastic views from different points. Lovely winter garden. Fully equipped with everything – you can feel like at home.

Perfect base from which to explore the region. What a stunning setting!

House is comfortable, everything that needs to be there is present and more. Super clean!

Recommended!

It’s a beautiful cottage, tucked away 5 mins from Loch Inver main high street. It’s been done up with a lot of care and has all the useful amenities. William even left us a welcome goody bag which was very very sweet. The highlight of this place is its location and the view. You have the loch and the sea stretched out right in front. I would highly recommend booking this place for a great getaway

Superb location for exploring and hiking

Guys stayed while working in area, excellent accomodation fullback was great.

Beautiful location and house. Able to spot countless sheep from your window and many deer close by. William was accommodating, replied fast and very helpful. Lochinver is the perfect town to use as a launching pad for visiting the highlands. I highly recommend and will be booking this place again when I return!

Great location and fabulous spacious cottage. Lovely place to stay for a week

We were there with 5 people for 2 weeks. The house is very big and spacious and has everything you need. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with toilet are available. The conservatory is very nice. The location is ideal for hiking trips in the near and far. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, whether on the coast or inland. A car is necessary due to the remote location. Communication with the landlord was uncomplicated.

Wir waren mit 5 Personen für 2 Wochen dort. Das Haus ist sehr groß und geräumig und mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. 3 Schlafzimmer und 2 Bäder mit WC sind vorhanden. Sehr schön ist der Wintergarten. Die Lage eignet sich gut für Wanderausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung. Die Landschaft ist atemberaubend schön, egal ob an der Küste oder im Landesinneren. Auto ist aufgrund der abgelegenen Lage notwendig. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war unkompliziert.

Idyllic accommodation. The interior is impeccable, with all comforts. The exterior is very beautiful, with direct access to a magnificent 360° view. The location is very quiet, perfect for enjoying the wonderful coastline with plenty of views. We had a technical question when we got into the listing: William was extremely responsive by responding within a minute, which immediately solved our problem. We highly recommend.

Logement idyllique. L’intérieur est impeccable, avec tout le confort. L’extérieur est très beau, avec un accès direct à une magnifique vue à 360°. L’emplacement est très calme, parfait pour profiter des merveilleuses côtes avec de nombreux points de vue. Nous avons eu un questionnement technique en rentrant dans le logement : William a été extrêmement réactif en répondant dans la minute, ce qui a immédiatement solutionné notre problème. Nous recommandons fortement.

We had a fantastic time. The area is magnificent, and William’s house is really nice on every level. To be done again!

The house is located at the most incredible spot you can imagine, perfect for watching beautiful sunsets. The house itself is very welcoming, there is really everything you need. It feels very cozy to stay there and it also has a wonderful garden. The location is perfect for exploring the region, either by hiking, biking or whatever you like. The sandy beaches and the coastline are so beautiful. And when you are interested in geology, the region is a paradise and offers many interesting insights into the amazing formation of scotland. William is the perfect host, you can feel that he is doing a great effort to make it the perfect place for holidays. Thanks for that.

Fabulous property, very clean. Beautiful surroundings. Very responsive host!

A lovely stay at William’s house was had by all my family. The house is thoughtfully, generously and tastefully laid out with nice furniture and all equipment needed for a stay. We look forward to returning! William is a really responsive and helpful host. Thank you William!

Piecefull place with beautiful nature around accomodation . Everything was absolutely perfect. We highly reccomended. Thank you.

Cruachan really is a home-from-home, in a wonderful part of the West Coast. There is everything you need for a great holiday. Gardens for good weather, and extensive indoor space should the weather be bad. It has a large kitchen, and we particularly appreciated the coffee machine and sharp knives (not often found in holiday homes). Plenty of hot water and heating should it be needed although we had good weather. Plenty of local walks and climbs, and a coastline with fabulous coves and beaches.

Thank you to William and family for sharing your home

Our stay was great. The house and the surroundings were beautiful. The house had everything we needed and more. Scotland is a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Maria and Terry

The house very well equipped and really beautiful gardens

Cruachan is in a beautiful location. The house itself is very spacious, beautifully furnished, with light open space.

The bathroom has a lovely big bath, perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking or exploring. Plus a good shower. Another bathroom has a power shower. The bedrooms are comfortable with good beds. The kitchen is great – absolutely everything you need.

Wildlife all around …

We put bird food out, and within an hour all sorts of wonderful birds were coming to the feeders.

A perfect place for a peaceful getaway.

Nearby Lochinver has many good places with great food.

Our host William was very helpful and easy to contact. We had everything we needed (and more!) in this large and spacious house. Great views from house and garden. We did a few nice walks starting from the house, direction coast and river. We definitely recommend Cruachan.

We booked Cruachan for our friends in order to celebrate our own wedding anniversary (we live close by), and it couldn’t have worked better! The house is comfortable, quiet and a wonderful blend of old and new, with lots of independent spaces which gives a great sense of interior space, which, when the midges are out (much more rarely than you might think), there’s somewhere for everyone. Furthermore, the gardens are a delight, and manage to combine a sense of location and a stunning view with the intimacy of a well-cared-for home. Lovely plants, and beautifully tended. Quality, all round, and it won’t be the last time we’ll be booking Billy’s House.

William is a very nice and excelent host, thank you so much that we could stay at your house.

The house is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos. The rooms look all so nice, are very comfortable and there is a lot of space. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our vacation very much. The house is in a very beautiful area and because of the good weather we could do some great walks. Thank you for everything William

Due to corona we had to reschedule the arrival date several times, William has been flexible and thoughtful every time. The house was really beautiful and large, fully equipped. We enjoyed the view and the tranquility of the area. There was a nice welcome pack ready for us and the beds were also made. We recommend the house to everyone. Our kids even called the house a palace!

Door corona hebben we de aankomstdatum meerdere keren moeten verzetten, William is elke keer weer flexibel en meedenkend geweest. Het huis was werkelijk schitterend en groot, van alle gemakken voorzien. We hebben genoten van het uitzicht en de rust van de omgeving. Er stond een fijn welkomstpakket klaar voor ons en ook waren de bedden opgemaakt. We raden het huis bij ieder aan. Onze kinderen noemden het huis zelfs een paleis!

Amazing house in a beautiful location. William was an excellent host, with really good information and fast response, and a lovely welcome pack. The house was very clean, equipped with everything we needed and loads of different options for places to relax, whether sitting outside in the sun, or inside looking at the view from the huge windows. Highly recommend and hope we can go back soon.

A great property that is very comfortable with lots of light through the large windows,the location is wonderful with stunning views over the bay from the garden.We also enjoyed watching the sunset from the hill beside the property.The house is very well equiped with everything you need for a home from home stay.We had a great week and the weather was kind to us as well,so we were able to visit some of the lovely beaches in the area.Lochinver is just a few minutes drive with places to eat.

Just a quick message to say we really enjoyed our stay in the Cruachan cottage. The location and setting are really lovely. Great to hear a cuckoo every day amongst the various other bird song and owl “tweets”. We thought inside the cottage itself was quite palatial and very much enjoyed the views and comfort. Having stayed in quite a few self-catering places over the years I thought Cruachan was very well appointed / stocked. I would certainly return. Thank you.

Had a great week at your holiday home it had everything we needed and such a lovely location. It was nice relaxing when we got back in evening watching the birds feeding in the garden from the cosy conservatory . Lochinver is a good location to visit all the stunning surrounding countryside and it was nice watching the changing scenery as the sun set from your viewing windows . I would definitely recommend Cruachan Holiday Home.

Cruachan is a beautiful single storey luxury home on the hillside just outside Lochinver with views out to sea. It is very spacious with two dining areas, open plan lounge and well equipped kitchen and utility room. A conservatory with doors out onto the patio is also a lovely place to relax. There are TVs in every bedroom. A surprise welcome pack was waiting for us and much appreciated. The garden and trees attracted lots of birds and our treat was a visit from a pine martin.Deer also came down close to the garden.

Unfortunately, due to illness, we were unable to use the accommodation ourselves but our son and daughter were.

Annoyingly he said that the accommodation was Very Good. They loved the space, the light, fire, beautiful views, nice smells??, well equipped kitchen and the fact that the place was well maintained throughout. He stated that it was “Brilliant “.

( I still have to ask him about the “nice smells”).

They also were very appreciative of the red wine in the welcome in the welcome pack!

This is a lovely warm house with a large open plan living area, comfortable bedrooms and a comprehensively equipped kitchen. The giant bath was also much appreciated. The wifi and big TVs with streaming services were a fair help when the weather closed in on several of the days we were there, but just sitting gazing out on the landscape through the picture windows and the ever-changing weather was enough.

The area around the cottage is well worth exploring, bring proper walking gear and get out into the moors & heights around the house and you will be rewarded with spectacular views of the Assynt mountains and coastline.

Good local eateries in Lochinver (5 min drive away) – Peet’s Restaurant for decent pub food, and the Lochinver Larder with their excellent pies.

We went further afield to the Kylesku Hotel for an excellent dinner and a spectacular drive past the Quinag, I will come back in summer to hopefully walk up it.

Very lucky to have had such great weather again on our yearly visit to Lochinver. A beautiful house in a wonderful location with brilliant views from the house and garden. Definitely looking to book again for next years visit. 5⭐

This house is ideally placed for lovers of the outdoors. It comfortably fit our needs as a party of 5, one with mobility issues. Plenty of space with TV’s in each room complete with Netflix, ideal for a family with young kids.

Stayed in July 21 with my wife and 2 young children. Great base to travel around this stunning area. Luckily our week had pretty good weather so we were able to hop in the car and get to the beautiful beaches at Achmelvich and Clachtoll within 20/30 minutes. Plenty of other sites and walks all around the area, and brilliant for road cycling if that’s your thing.

The cottage itself is large and really comfortable. It has everything you need. It’s about 5/10 mins down the road from Lochinver on a quiet single track road. The owner even left us a nice little welcome pack with wine, shortbread and tablet. All-in-all, we had a fantastic week. Highly recommend.

I can’t imagine better place to spend a week. Cozy, well equipped house with character and beautiful views around.

A true home from home. Stunning setting (saw deer and pine marten), loads of space to spread out, great WiFi & TVs (a real hit with my son especially during the Euros), very comfy and warm and well equipped with everything we needed. The area is just magical with superb walks all around. Recommend the pie shop! Definitely want to return.
