We can highly recommend this chalet - its very comfortable indeed, well equipped and in the most beautiful location looking out over the bay. It was so peaceful and, as we were there in early March, the few other chalets nearby were unoccupied. Theres no light pollution so we had a sky full of stars at night. And some lovely walks.

Having only been vacated a few hours earlier, the place was absolutely immaculate. Can't fault anything about our stay, just a spectacular location. One of the most important things, I think, is a comfy bed, you won't be disappointed here! The view from the chalet is stunning. Just simply the perfect place for a wee holiday hideaway.

Wonderful chalet set in a perfect location. Ideally located for the Assynt area's walking, climbing, beaches, sightseeing and wildlife. As well as being most fortunate with the weather during our stay, we woke every morning to the beautiful loch side view.

The perfect place for a relaxing holiday. The chalet was spotless, clean and tidy upon arrival. Absolutely everything is available, everything has been thought of. Stunning views and great walks starting from the chalet. Last but not least : very kind neighbours. Thoroughly recommend it for all the reasons above.

Very clean and well equipped Chalet. Very comfortable and located in an idyllic location with superb views. An abundance of wildlife and birds can be spotted in the garden and in the bay from the veranda. The welcome gift was a surprise and greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend Chalet McLeod.

This is the second time we have stayed at Macleod Chalet and the experience was just as good if not better than the first. It is the perfect base for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland: walking, wildlife, geology, local history, boat trips and many more activities are never far away. And if you don't feel like going out, the views over Loch Read moreKirkaig are lovely. The newly opened Delilah's in Lochinver does great lunches and dinner and North Coast Sea Tours do great trips from the harbour. Hide
