Much loved family-friendly house, coastal setting in the Highlands

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.

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!

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.
