Cried when we left..

We have just returned from this magical place ... We have had the quietest, most relaxing week..eating lovely food and walking in nature..beaches and mountain views to die for. The location is very remote, a good 30 minute drive to find petrol so pre planning your supplies of food and a full tank is a must. The house is so well thought out, everything you could need, a stunning view and very well apointed, warm and cosy. Daisy our host could not have been more helpful. We loved it so much we did not want to leave. The wifi works well enough that the kids could play they're games when we were home. And we were still able to work a little, as we both run buisnesses. Morning coffe overlooking the view out on the bench is a real 'must'. We cant reccomend this place enough and will return .

About the host

Hosted by Daisy

I am a mum of 2 and a professional Music Therapist working in special education, dementia care and an NHS hospital children's ward. I love the countryside and my family spend most of our time exploring nature. I am a keen photographer and enjoy walking, cooking and music. My husband, Nathan, is a classical pianist and composer which is why we have a piano in the cottage, both for us and guests to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of this cottage and everything there is to explore in the surrounding area. Wonderful walking right from the cottage. Endless beautiful beaches nearby. Day trips up to the far north or down to the Summer Isles are easily achievable in a day. Lochinver is a 25 minute drive away and the beautiful Loch Assynt a little further.

What makes this property unique

The entire NC500 route is accessible and ready for you to explore from this cottage. For those wanting to tour, fish, hike, explore flora and fauna, mountain climb - or simply enjoy a relaxing week in a cosy, comfortable cottage, Torran Cottage offers it all!
