Monthly Rentals in Loch Assynt

What a wonderful week! I went to Culkein/Assynt for the express purpose of getting away from the overwhelming excesses of London life, and I succeeded, thanks in no small part to Karen and Iain’s pod. The pod is beautifully situated with an uninterrupted view of the coast, waves breaking over rocks, fields of sheep. The place is easy to locate, and Karen was proactive in providing easy-to-follow directions. The pod itself has everything you’d want or need and is extremely comfortable. Culkein is a great location if you’re looking to hike nearby Suilven, go on walks or just relax on the deck and stare out to the sea. I have nothing but high recommendations based on my experience, and I have every intention of returning to the region - it’s stunning.

The place is rustic, but great views and surroundings. We spent our time in the front porch area, relaxing and taking in the views. A bit more heating would have been a bonus, but great to have washer and dryer to use FOC. Area is very remote so stock up, thanks for a great stay!

Five of us enjoyed a great week walking and climbing in plenty of sunshine too. House was very comfortable with everything we needed.

Amazing cabin sitting right on the water with great views across the bay to Lochinver village and Suilven. Eilidh and her family were very kind and welcoming, and we enjoyed some of their delicious home baking. The place is very comfortable, squeaky clean and more spacious than the photos suggest. It was a great base for hillwalking, with many of the famous Assynt hills within a 20 minute drive. It was just a short walk to shops and restaurants in Lochinver and we seen lots of deer relaxing on the roadside when walking back in the evenings. Make sure to try the famous pies from Lochinver Larder, they are worth the hype!
