Guests consistently describe the cottage as super clean, with a great heating system and utility room ideal for drying clothes. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of their stay.
The cottage boasts fabulous views and is well-placed for coastal walks and exploring the Highlands. While the remote location is part of its charm, the single track road access and distance to shops are noted.
The cottage is frequently mentioned as comfortable and warm, with comfy mattresses and a relaxing environment. However, there is a mention of the settees being past their best, suggesting a slight need for updates in the lounge area.
The property is well-equipped for various needs, including power cuts, and offers a range of games and well-organised information folders. The kitchen is well stocked, and the utility room is appreciated. However, the mention of settees needing replacement slightly affects this score.
While the reviews reflect a thoughtful provision of facilities and amenities, there are no specific mentions of gifts or personal touches that would fall under this category. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

Set in its own grounds and enjoying fantastic views across the sea to the hills and mountain peaks beyond, Creagach is a spacious, contemporary, detached family house. This delightful, architect-designed accommodation is of a very good standard and has a truly spectacular setting on a working croft where sheep and beef cattle graze on the adjacent croftland. The property has a welcoming wood burner, and this eco-friendly house is heated by a ground source heat pump which provides underfloor heating throughout. Guests staying here during the festive season have access to Christmas decorations and a tree, and are welcome to ’trim up’ the property. Creagach is Gaelic for ‘rocky outcrop’, which aptly describes the small natural harbour just below the house that is the ideal place for launching sea kayaks, fishing and from where you can watch wildlife. Seals, otters, osprey and dolphins are all seen along this coastline, and deer and pine marten can be found in the hills. The immediate area is noted for its hillwalking, climbing, kayaking and mountain biking, and the peaks of Suilven, Stac Pollaidh, Canisp, Quinag and Ben More Assynt are all close by. Sea fishing is available within a mile. The pristine, white sandy beaches of Achmelvich and Clashnessie are also just a short drive away, and the village of Lochinver is 9 miles along the coast. This thriving, small fishing port, with its natural harbour, has an excellent selection of local amenities including small shops, pubs, hotels and restaurants. This beautiful coastline is totally unspoilt. Beach ½ mile. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant 9 miles.
The property is located on a working farm.

Creagach is a lovely getaway from it all with spectacular views. A real haven of peace and tranquility. The cottage is fully equipped for every eventually (we had a power cut the first night due to a bad storm, the house has very useful nightlights that double as torches) and a wonderfully warm log burner that is perfect for colder nights. We would definitely come again, thank you!

Lovely cottage very isolated amenities 10 miles to nearest shop .The long single track road with the motor homes site brings a lot of traffic, The settees in the lounge were past there best and need replacing.
