About this house rental
This is the only large holiday house for 10 or more guests on the North West Coast of Sutherland and you would go a long way to find such a luxurious, spacious and yet cosy house. Originally a crofters cottage, the house has recently been extended and refurbished throughout to provide a very high standard of accommodation with 7 bedrooms, 5 of which are en-suite and everything you would expect from a high-end holiday house. For example, there is high speed broadband Wi-Fi throughout the house, Digital TV with Apple TV and a DVD player (with a big selection of films) , a large 4 oven gas AGA, a heated dog room, a games room, bread making machines for those who love the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning and even an ice cream maker. The ever changing and much photographed Clashnessie beach is only 200 yards down the drive and the waterfall (after which Clashnessie is named) is just a short walk up the strath, with lochs for fishing beyond (permit required). There are many walks from the house in all directions, with views of Sutherland's iconic mountains: Quinag, Stac Pollaidh, Suilven and Canisp. In addition, sea kayaking, bicycling, horse riding, fly and sea fishing are all available locally. There is excellent Red Deer stalking on the Assynt and neighbouring estates and the Rivers Inver and Kirkaig offer accessible and wild salmon fishing by separate arrangement. Experience Europe's last real wilderness and return to the warmth and comfort of our much loved family holiday home. This is as far from an average holiday let as you can get! Catering is available by separate arrangement with Linda, our housekeeper.

Summary of reviewsAmazing house with great facilities, stunning views, and peaceful surroundings. Ideal for family gatherings, beach lovers, and nature explorers.

The location was purely breathtaking. The house was amazing, but a few issues that did crop up such as the cleanliness could have been better, wi-fi was 3mbps not very fast and the AGA was not working on arrival so had to wait for engineer to fix and once fixed it stopped working again in the last week and did not work for the remainder of our stay. But this does not stop me giving it 5 stars, you will be blown away by the beauty of the accommodation and area. Beach one way and stunning waterfall another. Kitchen is very well stocked. Sitting in the window seats just watching the beauty change from minute to minute was peaceful and enchanting. We have truly fallen in love with Scotland and this place in particular.

The house was indeed well loved. Superbly equipped and homely. Clashnessie beach was beautiful with relatively few visitors.

6 / 10Average·Jul 2021
On arrival at the house, we noticed the very long grass in the garden and no swings for the children so the children were unable to play in the garden during our stay. Unfortunately, the grass never got cut even although the housekeeper/owner had arranged for this to be done. The windows in the sitting room and kitchen were very dirty and we couldn't see outside. (after contacting the housekeeper/owner, the windows were cleaned the next day). There was a lot of thick dust on the book/DVD shelves etc in the sitting room which was disappointing.
The Eagle and Deer bedrooms downstairs smelt very damp and the carpets showed areas of dampness and were dirty. Headboards and curtains were tired and dated. All en suites and the bathroom are carpeted which is not hygienic.
It's a super house with loads of space and great that it has so much kitchen equipment, toys for kids etc. The games room was very disappointing as there is no space or room to do anything. (not as pictured on website). The house should be checked for clean windows, grass cut and swings fitted prior to guests arriving.
Also, it would have been useful to have a floor plan in advance, to be able to allocate bedrooms easier.
The responses from the owners and housekeeper were very quick and helpful.
We would definitely recommend this house to people as it's a lovely house and in a beautiful location.
