Ardmair Bay Cottages
If you want your cottage a little more remote than Ullapool try Ardmair. Fantastic view of the bay, especially from Croft Cottage, which looks directly out over the bay. I saw my first Golden eagle here, soaring over the back of the cottage.
Kylesku Hotel
Kylesku is between Assynt and the Far North. It is easy to miss as there is now a bridge for the main road. The old way was a ferry that crossed the loch in front of the hotel. It is worth a detour down to look at the old slip way, and the view into the two lochs. The hotel is highly recommended, especially for food. Across the bridge, turn right for a beautifull walk up alongside the loch. Look out for seals and golden eagles.
