Reiff Steading

We spent three weeks at Reiff Steading in August/September and found everything wonderful. The house is perfectly situated in beautiful, ideal for long walks, really secluded from any hustle and bustle of civilisation and ideal for anyone looking for peace and quiet. The house itself is also beautifully furnished and also perfectly equipped. Silke & Markus

1st visit to the steading recently and I have nothing but positive things to say. First thing to say is the property is immaculate, both in terms of the fabric of the building and the interior fit and finish. There are very few things which I could suggest to the owners which could have enhanced our stay. Almost everything youd need is provided, ranging from crockery, pots & pans, towels, bedding, shower gel, soap, dishwasher tablets a thermos and some binoculars for wildlife spotting. The quality of the towels, linen crockery and cookware was excellent, you can tell the owners have put a lot of thought, effort and expense into the type of environment they are trying to create. Another review mentioned it feels sympathetic to the environment, and I'd agree with that. Second the ambience of the place, especially the sitting room was excellent. Hard to put your finger on and a real intangible thing but a nice environment to spent time in, very tranquil and calm. Heating was programmed on timer and heated up very quickly in the mornings for such a big place. The instructions left were clear and easy to follow. Internet connection was good. We were lucky with the weather, scenery was breathtaking, some great walking and hiking in the wider area. Small points to note when travelling: -Its pretty remote last 30 miles are single track access road, make sure your car is in good condition as cell reception is patchy (have spare wheel, jack, fluids, tools) with you as a sensible precaution -There are places to fill up nearby Achiltibuie and Lochinver but they will be a bit more at the pump so you may want to fill the tank in Ullapool -The store at Achiltibue was well stocked with a lot of nice food and drink, in particular fresh seafood selection was excellent -Take your hiking boots, its pretty rugged terrain I dont think its really fair to compare this rental to a typical Airbnb or self catering let, its head and shoulders above most other self-catering accommodation we've ever stayed in. Well done Angus and Ruth.

Each time we come to Reiff Steading, we appreciate just how beautiful both the steading and the location truly are. Everything in the steading has been chosen with care to reflect the beauty of the environment and craft of NW Scotland. Everything is immaculately clean and the kitchen is one of the best equipped and maintained that I have come across. You really feel like you are staying in a friend's home, not just a rental cottage. There is nowhere else in the world that can match Coigach and Assynt for its beaches and inselbergs and there is likely no where better than Reiff Steading to use as base to explore this unique environment.
