Fantastic house in a very pretty and remote part of the highlands, a couple of minutes walk to the beach and the spectacular mountains of Assynt are within an easy drive. The house is very comfortable, spacious and extremely well equipped for a large group or family. We particularly liked the lovely soft towels and luxurious bedding

We had a superb stay at Clashnessie. The house was just what we wanted for 6 adults and our dogs. The main sitting, dining , kitchen open plan area was great for socialising and then the choice of en-suite bedrooms allowed everyone their own space and privacy. If anything the main room was even better than the description and photos. Location was great within yards of the beach and falls and the weather stayed great for our entire week in July. Sitting on the window seat late into the night watching the sun still setting near midnight was one of my special memories , rounding off what was a fantastic 60th birthday!Andrew was easy to deal with and provided all info needed for our stay .

Hi Stuart, Many thanks for your kind feedback. Fabulous photos also! We have an instagram account called Inchnafearna, if you'd be happy for us to use your photos on the insta account. What a fabulous sunset seen in the photo.

Family holiday

We had a lovely week. The waterfall behind the house was a short and pleasant walk away. The beach was a 2 minute walk and very quiet. It was lovely. This is a great house for a family getaway.

The layout was a little awkward and I feel that an investment by the owner to put in a stud wall by the bedroom in the link would make it a more usable property. The actual cost would not be high and it would mean those in the annexe (3 of the four bedrooms) would not need to transition to main living space via the outside to avoid disturbing the occupant of that room. This would not impinge on that bedroom as part is used already as a passageway in any case.I felt all the notes left around the property instructing us what to do were unnecessary. Every other house I have stayed in has a main booklet of guidance and that should be sufficient (Which this property also had). I assume this comes from past experience or other customers behaviour. However I felt like it was being back at school and was unwelcoming.That said, although remote and difficult to find the property was very good. The setting was superb with views across the valley. The sofas and chairs in the lounge had perhaps seen better days and were very low, making it difficult for older people to get out off.

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.

Spectacular beach view

Lovely family home: comfortable lounge, comfortable bedrooms, great showers. Kitchen unbelievably well equipped- imagine having 2 dishwashers- fabulous. Short walk to the most amazing beach with wonderful view from the house. The scenery is spectacular. Important to do huge food shop at Ullapool or Inverness as local shops not that close and very expensive. The drive to Drumbeg and onto Kylescu has amazing scenery - never seen better but camper vans are a scourge and should be banned.

A lovely holiday home

Inchnafearna is a wonderful place to stay for a family group - comfortable, welcoming and fantastically well equipped. The booking and access process was very easy, with clear instructions. The weather was wet and windy during our week there, but we managed to walk to Clashnessie Falls, trekked up Stac Pollaidh, visited Clachtoll Broch, swam in the bay a few times, had pies from the wonderful pie shop in Lochinver, and took a wildlife-watching boat trip from Ullapool. When the weather was particularly wild, we enjoyed playing games in this cosy home and taking it in turns to cook in the wonderful kitchen. The aga made it particularly welcoming! We would love to visit again.

A perfect Easter week in Clashnessie

Superb accommodation in a beautiful location. A couple of minutes walk to the beach kept the young children very happy. Walks up spectacular mountains in the locality for the older members of the family. The house was superbly kitted out. Spacious kitchen/dining room provided with everything necessary. The AGA was great for the cooking and also kept the dining room/lounge very warm and cosy. The electric piano was a pleasant and welcome surprise. All the bedrooms were excellent with en-suite. The house was very well maintained by Linda Macleod, the housekeeper. A superb house for a full family get together.

beautiful out of way spot, well-appointed house

This is a great house for a crowd with open, welcoming kitchen/living room with a view in an amazing isolated spot overlooking a beach along the NC500. Sheep in the front and the waterfall a wee walk in the back. Good spot for a family or a big group of friends (lots of twin beds, and nearly all rooms have private bath) with amazing facilities to feed a big group (two dishwashers, two fridges, good pots, pans etc). The AGA kept things toasty, and there were loads of games, books and you can keep connected with fast wifi. Few quibbles: there was no laundry soap, kitchen sponges, beach towels or shampoo - stuff you need, and that many visitors might expect to find in a rental house in this price bracket. The instructions about the house and surrounding area seemed somewhat out of date. Garbage dump days had changed, the oyster guy has been out of business "for years" he said. But overall, lovely!

Groot vakantiehuis Clashnessie

Charmant, goed geoutilleerd landhuis op bijzondere plek aan de route van de NC500. Veel kamers, goede bedden, mooie ruime open keuken / woonkamer. Hoewel in de buurt van enkele andere huizen toch afgelegen. Met mooi strandje op loopafstand.

Lairg review

Beautiful spot. Ocean and beach in front. Waterfall behind. Hills to the side covered with heather and lots of little lakes. We picnicked on top of the hills and spent days exploring. I don't think anyone knew about the hills except us because we never saw anyone there. Runners in the family ran the single lane roads into Lochinver to visit the Pie shop and to Drumbeg just because it was there. There was very little traffic - almost none from about 8:00 pm until 8:00 am. We worry that the North Coast 500 will change that. We had planned to visit tourist spots in the Highlands, but didn't because Clashnessie was too good to leave. The property manager was wonderful. We were able to hire her to cook and bring us delicious meals.

Perfect house in perfect setting

This is the perfect holiday house for a family which includes grandparents, adult children and grandchildren. The house is spacious and has all the facilities you could possibly need. In fact the equipment is amazing. The house was clean and everything worked efficiently. It is set in the most beautiful scenery with beach, waterfall, mountains to climb and beautiful walks through moors and beside rivers. We could have stayed for ever!

Lovely house but attention to detail disappointing

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.

Ideal Location With Beach At The Door Step

Pros: Amazing location!!!! Clashnessie falls at the back of the house and clashnessie bay at the front! Both within walking distance. Sea views were amazing throughout the day! Communication from the owners was very efficient. And we had absolutely everything you could possibly need in the house! Lots and lots of games for the kids to play, so when they weren’t at the beach, they were very well entertained in the house. So many places near by, literally 10 minutes drive. We did not want to leave this place! And would definitely book again Cons: the open plan kitchen lounge area was way too hot and that was because of a baking oven/stove was continuously on and we were not able to turn it off. So on a warm day it was extra hot. Also the cleanliness of the house was not great. Kitchen was not clean, and certain rooms were dusty and tables were sticky. One particular room had a horrible damp smell, and the window would not open at all, so that did not help

Thanks for the review Sohaib, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. We are looking in to the damp issue in the room you mention. It may be due to the repointing of the terrace outside and the water now running to the wall - that is the prevailing wind direction so it get the worst of the weather. The window definitely does open, it's just a bit stiff.

amazing location everything catered for

This property is obviously a well loved and well used property as it has all that you need for being in a wonderfully isolated area. Catering and sleeping large numbers was no problem the accommodation was very comfortable. So much more than on the blurb which took us by surprise (in a good way) - bread makers, fish kettle, picnic stuff, heated wetsuit room, maps and walk books, two fridges, two dishwashers, multi coat hooks I could go on!

Thanks Dawn - so glad you enjoyed your week and found everything to your satisfaction. Yes perhaps we should call it a drying room rather than a dog room. There are usually more wetsuits in there than dogs! Come again any time.
