“Sensational Scottish home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Having just returned from celebrating my 50th with a large group of friends at Assynt House I have nothing but praise for the house and for Graham and Elizabeth who run it after restoring it into a beautiful, comfortable and charming home. All bedroms and public areas have been restored to a superb standard with great attention to detail and a style that is both impressive and welcoming. I loved the fact that Assynt has not been 'styled' to within an inch of it's life and hence the architectural features and setting are shown off to best effect. More impressive than the house itself and its wonderful location is the outstanding customer service delivered by both Graham and Elizabeth for whom looking after guests clearly comes naturally both whilst in residence but also in planning a trip. Elizabeth never tired of my numerous questions and was always most efficient and courteous in answering them and in providing necessary information and tips. Graham is an excellent cook and provided a superb 50th birthday meal for us, showcasing the best Scottish produce available. Tina the housekeeper also did a superb job in keeping the house in pristine condition and in sharing her knowledge of the area with us.
All in all, a fabulous venue in which to celebrate or simply relax with family or friends.
Highly recommended.

Room Tip: Lower ground floor rooms more contemporary in style. Upstairs are more traditional with superb view...

“"Heaven in Evanton"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

Assynt House is a wonderful example of a period House that has been lovingly restored,and been given the 'Waugh WOW'.
Elizabeth and Graham Waugh's attention to detail and love for Assynt is immediately felt,there informal approach to welcoming you to your 'home from home' is both charming and warm.Nothing is too much trouble from booking excurstions,spa treatments ect they are only a phonecall away.
The upper rooms are more traditional,and the lower more contempary- I can recommend the double jacuzzi room!!
All rooms are emaculate and brought back to standard each morning by Tina who completes this wonderful team.
Assynt House is an easy and straightforward drive from Inverness Airport,Cromarty Firth for Dolphin/Whale watching,West Coast for lunch at Applecross and one of the most scenic drives I have ever witnessed.The countryside needs to be seen to be believed.
A real jewell.
We will be back !

Room Tip: All rooms are great, just choose your preference-Traditional or contempary (the jacuzzi room is my...

“Robert & Marcus "A must for the discerning traveller"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

I had the great pleasure of spending a week at Assynt House this September (2011). The owners Elizabeth and Graham gave some of the best customer service that I have ever encountered.
This house is beautiful and exceptionally well maintained. All of the rooms are large and airy. The kitchen has everything that you could wish for. The owners have a great eye for detail including fresh flowers and high quality products in all of the bathrooms. Anything from clay pigeon shooting to yoga can be arranged during your stay. I have no hesitation in recommending Assynt House to anyone.

Room Tip: All of the rooms are wonderful but if you are looking for something special I would recommend the re...

“A Fabulous Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

What a beautiful house with all the comforts of a home. The attention to detail is fantastic and every room is renovated to an extremely high standard a, the love and care that Liz and Graham have put into Assynt House to make it the beautiful house that it is today speaks for itself. I hope to return to Assynt house soon and would highly recommend it knowing that everyone who stays there will be hooked. Tina did a great job in making the place spotless everyday as if we had just arrived.

Room Tip: The double jacuzzi bath is fantastic

“Style and quality with a relaxed atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

If you are looking for a home away from home experience you will not find a better option in Scotland. We were a group of 12 celebrating a friends 50th Birthday and Graham and Liz the owners and hosts could not of been more accomodating... Catered if required (highly recommended) SPA treatments in house with a host of arranged activities availalbe from shooting, archery, riding etc..

A real family feel yet with all the elegance of hotel service.. Roaring log fires beautiful grounds and walks.. close proximity to the airport and local attractions - really worth a visit if your looking for quality accomodation for friends and family.

Room Tip: Sleigh bedroom top of the stairs on the left great views...
