Beachfront holiday rental in Lochinver

This is one of those Airbnb that deserve six stars. The pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. It sits on a hill above the sea such that all you see out the windows is water and mountains. They converted what had been a garage into a cozy, living, eating, and sleeping space. Everything is so well built and there is so much attention to detail that you feel like you are in a much larger space. There’s nothing that hasn’t been well thought out and designed. And Andy and Jenny are such warm and friendly people you immediately feel like you’re part of the family. I could go on and on, but I will leave it there and simply say I highly recommend it.

Great place to stay. Perfect location with walking trails, a beautiful beach, and a great little restaurant all minutes walk from your front door. Our host was wonderful and extremely helpful during our stay. 100% reccomend staying here.

Such a beautiful and welcoming home! We only wish we had booked longer. Thank you for everything!

Pictures of the view from the main living room/dining room was what drew me to the property and the reality did not disappoint. The house was very homely, comfortable and Isabella was friendly and accommodating. I especially appreciated that there was plenty of comfortable seating for the number of people the house can accommodate to sleep. The dishwasher did not work during our visit which was an inconvenience as we were a large family group who cooked regularly during our visit, so clearing up took significantly more time than we would have liked, but once Isabella was made aware, she did not hesitate to get it seen to as soon as possible. Unfortunately it could not be repaired during our visit but I cannot fault Isabella's reponse to the situation, it was just unfortunate. I would definitely recommend the property; it is clear a lot of thought has gone into the property to make it as comfortable as possible for guest. Thank you.

Our third stay in this wonderful house . Homely and cosy with a great log burner and everything you need . Stunning views and great access to the beautiful north coast . Bring a head torch if you arrive after dark . Logs are available at Bettyhill cafe and the Wee Shop on the way to Thurso . Can’t recommend highly enough as a great ‘getaway from it all ‘ place to relax and unwind .

This cottage is in an amazing location. The views from the living room were outstanding at every time of day. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped with plenty of space to relax. Despite its remote location (which makes it so peaceful) there is plenty to do, with walks to wild places, boat trips and even a little bistro restaurant (Elgol Bistro) offering lovely food. We loved staying here.

We had a wonderful stay in Carbost. The cottage is situated in a ideal location for seeing around Skye. It is central to a lot of nearby attractions and was easy to get to. The house is well equipped and clean, as described. It has an amazing view right on the lake and mountains on the other side. It is very easy to park there and it is close to the Talisker Distillery, the Old Inn pub and the Oyster Shed. Tessa was very kind to write us all the information we needed for our stay. I highly recommend staying here.

Lovely few days away very relaxing Charlette was a great host. We hope to go back sometime.

My wife and our 2 little boys stayed at Gemma’s place for 3 nights. Instructions were great, check-in was easy, the place was spotless and within 50m walk of the beach. Helpfully, all of the things that you need for a short stay but don’t wish to buy especially were also there (eg buckets and spades, dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls, olive oil, soap, tea coffee etc) a great stay - thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer’s caravan. The place was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area. Jennifer was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and always happy to help. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely book again in the future!

Beautiful location and gorgeous surroundings to explore - Achmelvich beach not to be missed

A beautifully kitted out caravan which was spotless throughout. Lots of local info, right on the beach. All information was sent in advance and any additional questions were answered quickly. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back again next year!

Sarah was a fantastic host and really friendly. She kindly delivered new garden furniture which was really appreciated given the lovely weather. A great caravan with everything you need.

Lovely stay at Shirley’s lodge. Caravan was really clean, beds super comfy and lots of games was a bonus. Great to have the bath, washing machine and dishwasher. Place was spotless and loved the decor. One row back from the beach and huge bit of grass at the front for the kids. Great communication from Shirley and we all had a fab time

We were lucky to secure a last minute booking at Tanya’s caravan. It was as per the photos and description. Very well equipped (I can’t think of anything you would need that wasn’t there). A great plot - probably the best! You won’t go wrong here. We did not need Tanya during our stay but I am confident she would have responded very quickly as well as given recommendations etc. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home away from home. We will hopefully be back again in the future :-)

What a stunning house in a stunning location - Jamie was most helpful with organising our stay and the house was spotlessly clean! :)

We can honestly say we have never felt so chilled and at home at any property we have rented. This was a last minute find but was genuinely worth it. Clear and concise directions to get to property and once there no need to get in your car again. Alasdair was very quick with answering queries about how to more than anything. Local shops and restaurants are on your doorstep so if you forget anything pop to local Co-op an approximate 10 minute walk. The beach is so sandy (yes that's a funny thing to say but important in the UK) - nice and clean and the locals are genuinely happy and engaging, must be something in the water as the locals all meet early morning for a swim. The house is great. Good size kitchen and living room, and the bedrooms were big. Bathrooms clean and well stocked with shower gel and shampoo and importantly toilet paper. Lounge has a log burner which is easy to use and a tv with good reception. A great experience to be re-enjoyed

Last minute get away, the pod it’s self was absolutely beautiful, warm and well equipped. Easy check in, the private hot tub was a lovely. Shower wasn’t that powerful but it absolutely did the job! Check the safety information if you are allergic to horses. 🫣 it does state that there will be horses close (I clearly didn’t check this before booking, ooops) Although they were no problem at all!! They were far enough away from the pod apart from a blink in the morning so it was absolutely no issue for us really. Overall it is a beautiful place and we highly recommend staying here!! Thanks for a brilliant stay! xx

Very helpful host and close to Stornaway and all amenities

I booked Lisa & Kenneth’s yurt as accommodation for my wedding Photographer Kevin, so in full disclosure I didn’t stay there myself. But the communication and information I received from Lisa & Kenneth was great. Kenneth even went above & beyond, staying up late to welcome Kevin and show him around, after Kevin took a detour past Shieldaig up to Ullapool and back, after picking up two lederhosen clad German hitchhiking Carpenters! 🙈🤣 Kevin did say that he loved the yurt, that he’d definitely stay there again and he throughly recommended that my wife & I stay there the next time we’re heading up to the area.

What a lovely place! Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect. The views from every window were stunning, and the peaceful setting made it easy to relax. The property itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sarah was kind and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and welcoming. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and her warm hospitality really stood out. We’d love to return.

We had a lovely 2 day stay at Margaret’s b and b cabin. It was peaceful and a delightful cosy space. We were given wonderful extras on our arrival with a nightcap and chocolates and breakfast for both mornings. Both Margaret and her husband were friendly and communicated very promptly and we had everything we needed Highly recommended Thanks so much for having us

We had an amazing stay at Ann’s pod. It is in a great location with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed for 3 nights, one night we walked into Mallaig for dinner and the other two we used the facilities in the pod to cook including the barbecue on the balcony. The view from the balcony is amazing and the hot tub is great to relax in. The pod is well located and is in walkable distance to a lovely beach. Would highly recommend a stay here.
