We loved the Ice House. Everything about it. It felt like a proper escape. It really is a magical place in the most incredible location. Felt at home straight away too which is always a good sign. It has everything you could need, the bed was really comfy, and the views, whatever the weather, are out of this world. A very special place that you feel lucky & grateful to hide-out in. We'd give it 6 stars if we could!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Ice House, it was everything we hoped for and more. From watching wildlife and ever-changing weather through the huge windows to standing on the decking in awe of the countless stars, the experience was truly magical. We loved listening to the waves crashing on the rocks at night and exploring the snowy hills by day, it felt like a little slice of wilderness heaven. The accommodation itself is exceptional. The floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in, with a perfect window bench for soaking up the views. The wood burner made the whole space feel cosy and warm, and the kitchen is one of the best-equipped we’ve ever come across in a rental cottage. As we love to cook, and it had everything we needed. Waking up to breathtaking views from the bedroom and watching the weather roll in with a cup of tea in bed was a daily joy. The location is ideal for hiking and exploring beautiful beaches, and James and the team couldn’t have been more helpful. Being on hand with thoughtful advice and guidance to make our stay smooth and special. We’re already dreaming about returning!

Quite possibly the best place we have stayed! The view as you walk into the living area is breath taking and you find you spend so much time just looking out the window observing the changing landscapes. The property was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and everything you needed was provided. We were privileged to stay there and would definitely look to return to explore more of the local area.

The Ice House is just amazing ! It's even better than the pics provided ! That picture window wow you could sit there all day ! It has everything you could possibly want, it comes very highly recommended! Lovely wee place for a base , nice one stop shop in the village too and some fabulous beaches around! James the owner is very quick at replying to any queries too . Get it booked you will not be disappointed. We cannot wait to go back !!

Just home from a restorative stay in the Ice House. What a fabulous property with the most amazing views. The house was very cosy & well equipped. Furnishings are homely & comfortable. Watching the sunrise from bed each morning was incredible. We were also fortunate to witness the full moon appear above An Teallach & shimmer over the water towards the Ice House. We loved watching the wildlife from the house be it from the decking downstairs or window seat upstairs. We saw otters & seals most days not to mention the varied birdlife. We even watched 2 white tailed sea eagles whilst heading to Mellon Udrigle one day. The Ice House is well situated for visiting nearby Gairloch (great museum) & Poolewe. The gardens at Inverewe are definitely worth visiting. The Arctic Convoy museum in nearby Aultbea is well worth a visit too. There's a friendly local shop & fuel station a few minutes from the house which was handy. James provided lots of useful info before we arrived at the property & there is lots of reading material regarding the history of the Ice house & it's environs in the property - very interesting ( if you have any spare time!) There are a number of stairs to negotiate to reach the house from the parking area but the surrounding scenery soon distracts you. A fabulous stay in a unique property in this beautiful part of the country.
