Selkie Cabin Achmelvich, Lochinver

Location

The advert on booking did not make sufficiently clear that we booked the Annex. That only came to light when we were there.. The advert mainly gives the impression that the cosy wooden shed is the one you're booking. Would be good to make a much better and clearer distinction in that. Make sure that you leave before 10:00.

The location with the most amazing views was nothing less than magic.. the interiors of the cabin are done very tastefully with dinnerware from the highland ceramics and the cushions and blinds are beach themed. It is a perfect place to stay for travels further north and very close to Lochinver.

Nothing absolutely to not like

Great view BBQ and privacy

Expensive and late check in and early check out. Some plastic bowls needed replacing but fine for one night.

Great accommodation space. The property had a good-sized lounge, so we had space to relax and to eat at a table. The well equipped kitchen meant we could have a good evening meal and cooked breakfast while enjoying the great view and listening to the seals in the Loch.

It was such a cute wee place with the most stunning views!

The shower.

Peaceful Location, plenty of space, stunning views

Nothing

Well equipped cabin on very quiet back road with impressive views out over the water and to the peaks beyond. Nice beach a short drive away, walkable if you have enough time. Cafes and restaurant in nearby village about 5 minutes drive, not really walkable.

17.00 check in time we felt was a bit late, if it had been earlier we would probably have explored the area more. Nice to sit outside and look at the view until the midges became too annoying which wasn't a surprise given the location. Couldn't get the TV to work properly when we did have to go inside and couldn't find a wifi code if there was one.

View.

Difficult to find (no guide given) and comms on unit name, access and keys inadequate and too late. Particularly as it was on the last day when we had no phone signal. No signal in the area too. Friendly people at NC500 units near the beach helped us with WiFi. Photos are not true as the bathroom is a minuscule wet room the size of a shower. Washbasin the size of a large cup. Vastly overpriced. Ok for one night but no more. Kitchen very basic.
