The Cottage

The cottage is situated in the heart of Assynt, which is an unspoilt area of natural beauty with superb beaches, mountains, wildlife and peace in abundance.
Clachtoll is a small crofting community 7 miles north of Lochinver along a scenic single track road. There are many safe, sandy beaches along this coastline, one of which is only 5 minutes walk from the cottage.
The house which was formerly a crofter's cottage is over 100 years old and was completely renovated 6 years ago. It is double glazed throughout and now comprises one double and one twin-bedroom, fully fitted kitchen / dining room with wood burning stove, sitting room and bathroom with tub-bath and electric shower. The yellow pine staircase has provision for stair gates at the top. There is a patio with garden furniture and a large grassed area which is rylock fenced. The area directly around the house is post and rail fenced providing a safe play area for children. The house is equipped to a high standard and includes automatic washing machine, tumble drier, fridge, freezer, microwave, colour TV, radio / cassette and C.D. Player. There is also a small library including books and maps of local interest.
The heating is provided by electric night storage convector on "white meter" as is the hot water supply which is supplemented by an immersion heater. The sitting room also has a dimplex electric fire and the cosy wood / coal burning stove in the dining room also heats the water.
Linen is not provided but each bed has a duvet and two pillows are supplied per person.
