Convenient location, just a short walk from the shops with a nice garden, which would be even better when able to enjoy outside in summer, though still nice in March. Kitchen was very well equipped.

This cottage is ideally suited to people who intend to spend their days out walking or simply enjoying the countryside and surrounding beaches etc. My only disappointment with Lochinver is that I couldn't find anywhere that provided a decent meal with fresh local produce.
