What our Guests say about Us…

“The house is exactly as pictured ~ beautiful and spacious, with every possible amenity. Maid service every morning is a luxury I never would've asked for and made our trip even more enjoyable, especially with a house full.”

“What a fabulous holiday to celebrate my 50th Birthday! The house is truly beautiful and you have made us all feel so very welcome here. Thanks for a superb dinner to celebrate my birthday and Elizabeth, thank you for your patience and efficiency in answering a year’s worth of questions. We very much hope to be back at Assynt House.”

“Magnificent house, large comfortable bedrooms, all ensuites, in a beautiful part of Scotland. Our hosts think of everything - extremely well equipped kitchen. We had a formal dinner and ended up having our hosts cook most meals, allowing us to sit each night at the dining room table and not stress about cooking. Lots of activities nearby- hiking, golf, Loch Ness, whiskey tasting, trout fishing. You can do a lot or just relax in comfort. Highly recommend for a group holiday or family event.”
