explore Strathcraig
The Area
From Strathcraig you will find a variety of scenic walks and drives offering stupendous views of the indented, island-studded coast against the backdrop of the dramatic peaks of Assynt and Coigach - mountains like Canisp, Quinag, Stac Polly and of course the iconic Suilven. Wildlife is present in plenty, and even if you never leave the area of the house you are quite likely to spot buzzards, the occasional eagle, many seabirds, seals and red deer - in fact, we also have badger, otter and pine marten in the immediate area, although you'll have to be patient (and lucky) to see them.
The House
On the ground floor there is a cosy sitting room, a lovely dining room with a wood-lined fitted kitchen off, and a bathroom with shower. The kitchen has an induction hob, combi microwave oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and automatic washing machine. There is ample room in the porch for boots and coats. A king-size double, a twin and a small single bedroom are upstairs. There's WiFi broadband, television with Roku, DVD and a variety of books and games for evenings in. With 3 foot thick stone walls, Strathcraig is built for all the west coast weather can throw at it, so it's quiet and cosy all year round.
Round About
You can sit in the enclosed walled garden (furniture provided) from which there are views across the Minch towards the Outer Hebrides. We also look across Lochinver Bay to heather-clad hills that have seldom known a human presence. Leave the road and wander where you will! Explore over the croft down to the rocky shore, and watch the fishing boats coming and going from the busy harbour of Lochinver. In the village you will find small supermarkets, gift and hardware shops, restaurants, a filling station, charge points, and an ATM, and you can pop down to the village in less than five minutes.
