“Great location and place to stay”
Great place to stay - old croft retaining that ‘feel’ while having all the services we needed inside. Easy access, handy for Lochinver (and anywhere else we want to go), plenty space for u… More

“Perfect cottage in a perfect location”
Our stay at Torbreck Croft was perfect. The cottage had everything we needed, was comfortable, spotlessly clean and in an idyllic location. We had a wonderful holiday and hope to return. Thank you

“Torbrek Lockdown Escape”
This was our fifth visit to Torbrek Croft Cottage. We normally visit at Whitsun so this was a much later break than we have done before. The weather wasn’t quite as good as in late May but it wasn’t too bad either. There were more midges but we did manage to have lunch outside once. The cottage had been made Covid safe so there were fewer bits and pieces around, but that did not detract from what is our favourite holiday cottage in the U.K, comfortable, homely and very well equipped. There were new very comfortable beds this year, but everything else was as before, which is why we keep coming back. Hillary was welcoming as always and Flora the dog still pops over to say hello but is now an old lady so does not accompany us up the hill behind the house. Lochinver was also Covid safe, which meant a lot of places were either closed, serving outside or restricted numbers. The pie shop had moved outdoors and has bought the Caberfeidth pub, which was closed. The village was quite busy with NC500 travellers, many of whom had brought their camper vans to Scotland for a staycation rather than taking them to Europe. We spent time at the beautiful Achmelvich Beach, walking along the coast and having superb fish, chips and haggis from the campsite takeaway. The boys and I also attempted to climb Ben More Assynt, but were defeated by rain and very poor visibility. While things were unavoidably different this year, we count ourselves lucky to have been able to spend another week in our Scottish bolthole between lockdowns. It remains our favourite cottage and one of our favourite places in the U.K. We will definitely be back!

Response from the owner Hello David Thank you for your review, I'm glad that you enjoyed your holiday regardless of the issue with the shower. Apologies, our temporary fix clearly didn't work so I am pleased to say that the shower has now been replaced. We also plan to fit a full size freezer before next season. Delighted to hear that you would return! Best wishes Teresa
