The Brigs, Clashnessie, IV27 4JF Near Lochinver, Sutherland
Enjoyed our stay. What a view! Storm Ashley did not keep us in! (Oct 24)
We had a wonderful time. The house quickly felt like home and the perfect base for all our small adventures with a one year old toddler. Great weather although we missed out on the Northern Lights due to cloud cover. Thank you so much. We will return . From Cologne in Germany. ( Sep 24)
Great week at a lovely cottage. Weather was actually good and we were able to enjoy all our favourite places. Saw the Northern Lights and shooting stars. (Aug 24)
A very relaxing stay, despite the weather!(Jul 24)

Bear left on A837 towards Lochinver (17 miles). Just before the village turn right onto the B869 (Stoer) Assynt Coast Route. Part of NC500
Public transport by bus via Ullapool and Lochinver takes the best part of a day.

Sheep and deer take priority over motor vehicles! Continue through Clachtoll, past the junction to Clashmore/ Point of Stoer, to Clashnessie (8 miles from Lochinver junction).
Take the right fork that leads directly up the hill to The Brigs - on the left
Our entrance track is on the right as the road from Stoer starts to descend towards Clashnessie bay, opposite a white elevated box that used to contain eggs for sale. What3Words ///pointed.haunts.compelled
