A 2 minute walk to a lovely quiet beach

West Horizon offers the height of luxury in a stunning setting.

West Horizon offers peace and seclusion. There are wonderful walks direct from the property up into the hills beyond, including a superb walk to a small loch. The region is a haven for wildlife and deer are regularly seen close by. Osprey, eagles, seals and otters can all also be spotted in the immediate area. The region is renowned for its hill walking and climbing, and the dramatic peaks of Suilven, Stac Pollaidh, Canisp, Quinag and Ben More Assynt dominate the nearby skyline of this wild and unspoilt Highland region.
There are some wonderful walking routes in the area, many of which start on foot from West Horizon. There is a local grocery shop 20 min drive away called Drumbeg stores, and 'The Jammery' in Culkein (just 6 min drive) sells refreshments, sandwiches, chutneys & jams. Flossie's Beach Store by the road in Clachtoll is just a 6 minute drive.

Lochinver, is a 8 mile drive away and provides a range of services including a Spa food shop and a butcher, doctors,post office and good quality restaurants and coffee shop. Ullapool, around 40 miles away, has a wider range of shops, a Tesco supermarket, restaurants, pubs and is also the main ferry terminus serving Stornaway on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.

The area has a unique and diverse fauna and flora, with whales, dolphins, seals, otters, basking sharks, eagles, puffins, and deer taking up residence in this wild and stunning landscape. Sunrises and sunsets can be breathtakingly beautiful. On clear nights the stars seem touchable and there is even the possibility of experiencing the northern lights with no light pollution.

West Horizon is a luxury well equipped escape to ensure your stay is as comfortable as can be. Your stay includes King Size Egyptian cotton bed linens and Egyptian cotton bath towels. The kitchen is fully equipped for any would be chefs out there and has an american style fridge freezer with ice maker. The sofa just melts away the busy days of hiking in this wondrous land and if you still have the energy there is a Blu ray player with dvd's. The bathroom has a whirlpool bath for those who enjoy a long relaxing soak and a large double shower. Through a door and there is a cloak room with washer and dryer and second toilet, more than enough to cope with any days outdoor pursuits. Sit outside for an alfresco dining experience under the dark sky and watch the stars unfold before you.
​This 70 sqm holiday lodge has central heating and a log effect fire for cosy nights. Use the spotting scope for marine life and the passing cruise liners heading to Norway and keep an eye out for the seals basking on the rocks.
​No stay here would be complete without a complimentary sample of Scottish whiskey.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
The good - a wonderful property in a wonderful location with great views and most amenities you could need - as long as you don't believe the listing. Egyptian cotton; dont think so. Recliner? Long gone. Welcome basket? Dont hold your breath. Plenty of supplies befitting a luxury place? Not if you count 1 1/2 rolls of toilet paper, a half roll of paper towels, no replacement garbage bags and no laundry detergent for a week's stay as ample. Apparently the owner has sold and fled to Spain and the new owner has not yet arrived and it shows. Despite these disappointments it really is a lovely cottage with more modern conveniences and appointments than most and we would gladly stay again...especially after the new owner assumes command.

Lovely property, perfect for a couple. Just steps down to a beautiful beach on the sea and a short drive to the lighthouse with many more walking trails there.

Luxe vakantiehuis
Het huis ligt op een mooie locatie met zicht op zee. Het is van alle gemakken voorzien en meer dan dat! De advertentie geeft niet goed weer hoe luxe het huis is. De eigenaren zijn erg zuinig op hun mooie huis, ze vragen je duidelijk om dat als gast ook te zijn. Het bed is heel confortabel. De eigenaren respecteren je privacy. Al met al een heel fijne plek om te verblijven
