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.
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.
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.
This property was perfect for the four of us, two retired couples. We were there for 3 nights...one of the days during a heavy wind storm. It was a great place to ride out and watch the storm. It was a good starting point for touring the area, and the house itself is well appointed. You do, of course, need a car as there is not public transportation.
Lovely comfortable and cozy house about a mile south of Lochinver. Well equipped and furnished. We will definitely consider going back again for our next trip. A big thank you to the owner/s - we loved it.

Superb holiday
Hello - we had a wonderful time in your beautiful house. The house is so comfortable, and so well-equipped. A true chef's kitchen! We very much appreciated all the little extras - we arrived late and tired after a flat tyre en route, so it was so nice just to come and be able to relax. Thanks too to Chantelle for her help in connecting us to a local garage to help fix the tyre. My 88-year old mother was with us, and the house is very comfortable and accessible for an elderly person. We will recommend you to everyone, and hope to be back. All the best, Fiona and Stan

About the host
Hosted by William
For almost two decades our family has been enjoying living and vacationing at Cruachan, as well as, enjoying the many excellent restaurants and outdoor activities in and around Lochinver, Ullapool and Kylesku. In 2016 my wife’s father decided to move back home to be closer to us and in 2017 we decided to share Cruachan, the home we love so much, with others.
