Kinlochewe stay

It was a great place to stay, lots of great walks locally and fantastic views of the surrounding area. The bungalow was very clean on arrival and was equipped with everything needed. The locals were super friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend this place.

Perfect Base for Exploring Wester Ross

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy and well-equipped holiday house in Kinlochewe. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s an ideal starting point to explore Wester Ross and the surrounding area. The stunning landscape, with Ben Eighe right on the doorstep, provided breathtaking views and fantastic hiking opportunities around every corner. The gas station/café across the street serves the best coffee we had on our entire trip. Highly recommended!

Perfect location

We based ourselves at the cottage for a week and the location is perfect for discovering the west section of the NC500. Cottage is clean and well enough equipped to use as a base. The only thing I would suggest to be a benefit would be a clothes horse for airing/drying clothes ( there is a small tumble drier but for hanging wet jackets after a walk it would be useful ) The garden is a bit neglected and overgrown which is a shame but this did not impact our holiday much but the tall trees make the back of the house very dark. House warm and comfortable, great water pressure provided a fab shower. Local services are decent. As previously mentioned the service station is good for basics and the local pizza restaurant should not me missed, it is wonderful! Gairloch is a short drive and lovely to visit and Applecross via the Bealach na Ba is an unforgettable experience! Achmelvich, Skye worth a visit but the local area and Torridon ( 20 mins away) is utterly beautiful. I would recommend the cottage as it is excellent value for money and it is in a wonderful location. Excellent comms with Michael the owner too. I’d happily go back x

Great location, lovely cottage

My brother and I and stayed for 7 nights. The place is a well appointed cottage in a very handy location. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The place is way better than the photos suggest. Awesome base for exploring. Michael is a very helpful host. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Nice place in a great location

Nice place, well kept and looked after. Great location for the National park, walking, or taking in the scenery of the Highlands. Footpath to the visitor centre or up the mountain. The garage opposite has a fab little cafe, a little shop, and there is also the village shop, another cafe/pizza place and a hotel restaurant all within 5 mins walk. Communication with the host was excellent and very helpful.

We enjoyed our stay here. I noticed some reviews mention the electric cost, it was made clear to us from the outset and although unusual isn't a first for us. Well equipped cottage, good garden space.

A mixed stay

An enjoyable stay overall,everything was very clean and comfortable Especially the beds and main room furniture.There was a shortage of some items,4 cups and 2 mugs is just not enough Other cottage sites we have used provide some welcome items, at least a pint of milk.Plus there was no guest review book.The cost of electricity is always included in the price and the 9am leave is unnecessary now..Finally the photograph of the property is very misleading.The isolation depicted is nowhere near correct

Bungalow in Kinlochewe

It was spotlessly clean and everything that was needed was there. A lovely location for touring the area. Pity garden was a let down but previous review highlighted that, did not spoil out stay and would still recommend.

Kinlochewe bungalow

We had a great week. The area is perfect for touring and exploring the area. The garden was perfect for our dogs as so secure. The service station opposite sells great sandwiches and cakes and couldn't be more convenient. It's petrol was cheapest around. Our only grumbles were lack of a broom, as I don't like using a hoover on laminate flooring , having to pay extra for electricity normally included. Also check out time on the website is 11am, but the information left asked it to be 9am due to cleaning for COVID . Does it really take 7 hours to prepare the place. These were minor niggles compared to the brilliant week we had

The pictures on the listing do not do this property justice. It is a lovely spacious cottage and spotlessly clean with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The location and easy to explore Torridon and surrounding area is perfect ! Would highly recommed.

An Excellent Activity Holiday Base

Plenty of space for the two of us, and all our canoeing and hiking gear. The property was clean and tidy, and we felt reassured that Covid-19 was being taken seriously. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen well-equipped, apart from the fridge being a little on the small side (there is plenty of freezer space in the garage, but we didn't need that). The photograph in the listing is clearly a little out of date, as the cottage is surrounded by tall trees, but there is a glimpse of a mountain view from the front, and that side of the property gets lots of sunlight, so this was not a major issue (we were outside most of the time, anyway!). This is an excellent base for exploring in different directions - no need to drive along the same bit of road every day, so giving us lots of options.
