About this property
Nedd 0.2 miles.
A single-storey detached cottage with spectacular views nestled on a remote hillside above the tiny hamlet of Nedd, along the western shore of Loch Nedd, 2 miles south east of Drumbeg. Offering comfortable well-equipped accommodation, this property is ideal for families wishing to really get away from it all and explore the area. There is an orchard garden, a haven for children, and a large lean-to play area means that even if it rains, they're well catered for. The numerous spectacular beaches along this coast make it a perfect seaside holiday base, as well as something of a birdwatcher's paradise, with the famous puffin colony and bird sanctuary on Handa Island close by. For hill walkers, Munro baggers and climbers, you couldn't be better placed for exploring Quinag, Suilven, Canisp, Ben More Assynt, Benn Stack, Arkle and Foinaven. With salmon and trout fishing available by arrangement, this property has something to please the whole family.
The small crofting township of Nedd (An Nead - Gaelic for nest) is situated on the north coast of the parish of Assynt. Ancient native woods surround Nedd, which overlooks Loch Nedd, a sea loch that's home to a wide variety of sea birds, seals and otters which appear occasionally. The famous colony of puffins at Handa Island is nearby. Nedd is an excellent base for hill walkers and climbers who are keen to explore Quinag, Suilven, Canisp, Benn Stack, Arkle, Ben More Assynt, and Foinaven. Trout and salmon fishing and stalking is available by arrangement on the many hill lochs for fishing enthusiasts. The Stoer Lighthouse, the renowned garden of Kerrachar, the caves of Assynt and the incredible geological feature of 'Moine Thrust', are all within easy reach of the holiday destination of Nedd.

Also, the property is very tired and general maintenance is not being carried out.

The location is spectacular as is the immediate area. The wildlife is abundant. As a bird watcher there is lots to enjoy from the living room window and around the house. On our last trip we had our for year old grandson with us. There were lots of games and toys available that made it very interesting for him. The house is spacious and we feel comfortable there. The games area is very useful for the more energetic, and a good clothes drying area. There is fantastic walking and fishing availability simply by walking out the door. It is clear however that the house and some of the appliances are in need of maintenance and decoration and whilst we can overlook that it might be an issue for others.

It is our seventh visit and it has always been clean and tidy and very welcoming with all the basic necessities and comfort that you need for a holiday cottage. Thank you, we had another lovely week.
