About this house rental

This is the only large holiday house for 10 or more guests on the North West Coast of Sutherland and you would go a long way to find such a luxurious, spacious and yet cosy house. Originally a crofters cottage, the house has recently been extended and refurbished throughout to provide a very high standard of accommodation with 7 bedrooms, 5 of which are en-suite and everything you would expect from a high-end holiday house. For example, there is high speed broadband Wi-Fi throughout the house, Digital TV with Apple TV and a DVD player (with a big selection of films) , a large 4 oven gas AGA, a heated dog room, a games room, bread making machines for those who love the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning and even an ice cream maker. The ever changing and much photographed Clashnessie beach is only 200 yards down the drive and the waterfall (after which Clashnessie is named) is just a short walk up the strath, with lochs for fishing beyond (permit required). There are many walks from the house in all directions, with views of Sutherland's iconic mountains: Quinag, Stac Pollaidh, Suilven and Canisp. In addition, sea kayaking, bicycling, horse riding, fly and sea fishing are all available locally. There is excellent Red Deer stalking on the Assynt and neighbouring estates and the Rivers Inver and Kirkaig offer accessible and wild salmon fishing by separate arrangement. Experience Europe's last real wilderness and return to the warmth and comfort of our much loved family holiday home. This is as far from an average holiday let as you can get! Catering is available by separate arrangement with Linda, our housekeeper.

We had a lovely week. The waterfall behind the house was a short and pleasant walk away. The beach was a 2 minute walk and very quiet. It was lovely. This is a great house for a family getaway.

Lovely family home: comfortable lounge, comfortable bedrooms, great showers. Kitchen unbelievably well equipped- imagine having 2 dishwashers- fabulous. Short walk to the most amazing beach with wonderful view from the house. The scenery is spectacular. Important to do huge food shop at Ullapool or Inverness as local shops not that close and very expensive. The drive to Drumbeg and onto Kylescu has amazing scenery - never seen better but camper vans are a scourge and should be banned.

Inchnafearna is a wonderful place to stay for a family group - comfortable, welcoming and fantastically well equipped. The booking and access process was very easy, with clear instructions. The weather was wet and windy during our week there, but we managed to walk to Clashnessie Falls, trekked up Stac Pollaidh, visited Clachtoll Broch, swam in the bay a few times, had pies from the wonderful pie shop in Lochinver, and took a wildlife-watching boat trip from Ullapool. When the weather was particularly wild, we enjoyed playing games in this cosy home and taking it in turns to cook in the wonderful kitchen. The aga made it particularly welcoming! We would love to visit again.

This is a great house for a crowd with open, welcoming kitchen/living room with a view in an amazing isolated spot overlooking a beach along the NC500. Sheep in the front and the waterfall a wee walk in the back. Good spot for a family or a big group of friends (lots of twin beds, and nearly all rooms have private bath) with amazing facilities to feed a big group (two dishwashers, two fridges, good pots, pans etc). The AGA kept things toasty, and there were loads of games, books and you can keep connected with fast wifi. Few quibbles: there was no laundry soap, kitchen sponges, beach towels or shampoo - stuff you need, and that many visitors might expect to find in a rental house in this price bracket. The instructions about the house and surrounding area seemed somewhat out of date. Garbage dump days had changed, the oyster guy has been out of business "for years" he said. But overall, lovely!

Beautiful spot. Ocean and beach in front. Waterfall behind. Hills to the side covered with heather and lots of little lakes. We picnicked on top of the hills and spent days exploring. I don't think anyone knew about the hills except us because we never saw anyone there. Runners in the family ran the single lane roads into Lochinver to visit the Pie shop and to Drumbeg just because it was there. There was very little traffic - almost none from about 8:00 pm until 8:00 am. We worry that the North Coast 500 will change that. We had planned to visit tourist spots in the Highlands, but didn't because Clashnessie was too good to leave. The property manager was wonderful. We were able to hire her to cook and bring us delicious meals.
