We were 6 couples staying a week at Assynt House. The place exceeded all our expectations!! The house is lovingly renovated very tastefully. Rooms are perfect, spacious and comfortable. Kitchen, salons, dining room are a dream. Surroundings are beautiful and quiet. To further heighten the experience the owners are stunningly helpful and friendly. Living on the premises they are there constantly to serve you. Rooms are made up each day and there is daily general housekeeping. I left some dirty clothes in the washig room one day and when I came back to the house they were washed and dried and in my room. You can either selfcater or let Elisabeth and Graham cook for you. We had one dinner where Graham served an excellent dinner with full service. We will be back!!!

We booked Assynt House for a week over Christmas 2017 for a big family get together. In every respect the house and, in particular, the care and level of service provided by the owners hugely exceeded our expectations. We were treated more like hotel guests than self catering guests. The house is beautiful, unbelievably well equipped, clean & spacious. The owners even decorated it for Christmas including a tree, they really went way beyond what was expected. The local area is also very interesting, in particular the spectacular Black Rock Gorge just one field away. We thoroughly recommend Assynt House, it was the best self catering house we have ever experienced, by far.
