Eagle Cottage is a real gem. The location with its views, the tranguil area and wildlife is amazing. The cottage is spotless clean and very well equiped. The remote location on the peninsula is, we think, the main attraction. Even the drive from Lochinver to the cottage is stunning. We highly recommend Eagle cottage. The owners make sure you have a pleasant stay. We loved our three weeks and hope to return in future.

One of the best cottages if not the best we have stayed in ,ever! Usually,with a dog, they seem to be a bit shabby, which is a shame. Spotless. Well equipped. Just lovely - so nice to have cookware that’s not rusty or twisted!! Yes, the stairs are steep, but that was in the details, but we managed ( slight mobility issues since booking) The cottage is pretty remote, which was perfect!!
