The Old Post Office is newly renovated and available to the self catering market for the first time. The property enjoys panoramic views of Clashnessie Beach and is close to Clashnessie Falls. The location is an ideal base for exploring the scenic, mountainous area of Assynt on the west coast of Sutherland. The North Coast 500 route goes through the village of Clashnessie.
Inside, the property is stylishly furnished and equipped to a high standard throughout. The open plan sitting/dining room has a double height ceiling and is positioned to enjoy spectacular views of the beach and the beautiful coastline around it. The contemporary kitchen is well equipped with all the usual appliances.
The property has 3 bedrooms: a king sized bedroom on the ground floor, which has views of the surrounding hills, stylishly furnished, with quality bed linen and towels supplied.
Completing the facilities on this level is a large shower room with a walk-in shower.
From the downstairs hall, stairs lead to the upper level which has a further king size bedroom and a twin bedroom, as well as a shower room with walk-in shower.
Clashnessie is 9 miles away from Lochinver, which provides a good range of facilities including 2 small supermarkets, post office, doctor’s surgery, petrol station, butcher, cafes, restaurants (including the Lochinver Larder, famous for excellent pies) and Highland Stoneware’s shop at Baddidarroch.
The drive north from Inverness takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery that Scotland has to offer. In this area the North West Highland Geopark is located: the oldest rocks in Europe are to be found in Assynt.
No matter what your favourite outdoor pursuit is, The Old Post Office offers something for everyone.The local hills are ideal for the walker and the country roads are ideal for the cyclist. As well as Clashnessie Beach, there are several other beautiful beaches nearby.
For fishing, Loch Na Claise is close by and permits can be purchased from the Assynt Crofters’ Trust. The property is also close to the North Coast 500 route and a day trip to the scenic areas further north is highly recommended. For something a bit more relaxing, a five minute stroll from the house takes you to Clashnessie Beach.

The Old Post Office has been attractively refurbished and is a very clean, comfortable, well-equipped house. From the living/dining room you look directly onto Clashnessie beach, beautiful at any time of day or night and regardless of the weather. The house is quiet and our bed (ground floor) was very comfortable. We enjoyed the log-burner some evenings and the house is generally warm and well-insulated. We love the local landscape and loved being back in this stunning part of Scotland. Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable. It is our first experience of Wilderness Cottages and we found both Judith and Julie very helpful and friendly.
