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.”
