Immaculately clean having been refurbished and refurnished very recently. No budget equipment ... great beds and bed linen! Hard to think of anything not provided which is highly unusual. Very peaceful - and fairly remote - location despite the midday travellers around the NC500 which is about 100m away.

Quiet location with comfortable beds and all the equipment you need. Local shop (Drumbeg) has the essentials but have to travel to Lochinver (35min by car) for restaurants and need to book in advance. A good place to stay in fine weather.

Dont know how this property achieved its grading. It has a spectacular setting and views. It lacks care and attention to detail. It needs a deep clean and upgrading. Very disappointed after reading previous reviews.

Very relaxing stay at Oldanay which had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Cottage was nice and warm. Kitchen well equipped, beautiful bathroom. Perfect location to visit the beautiful beaches, waterfalls and towns in the area. Very remote so needed to plan ahead for shopping etc. No WIFI and very little signal which I found blissfuRead morel but my husband struggled with. Spotted deer walking through the grounds. Fabulous experience away from it all. Hide

What a fantastic stay we had at this farmhouse. Stunning views, wildlife all around including deer in the garden most nights and seals in the loch just down the road.

Comfortable refurbished house in a beautiful part of Scotland. Very remote but well worth the journey. Everywhere is a drive away and the road is tricky - single track and twisty. House had everything we needed but take extra towels and be prepared to go without Wi-Fi and reliable mobile signal
