The Byre & The Kabin Inchnadamph, Lairg, Sutherland

The Byre and Kirkton Kabin offer unique and charming accommodations in the breathtaking surroundings of Inchnadamph, a region renowned for its natural beauty and tranquility. Located along the iconic North Coast 500 route, these properties provide an ideal base for those looking to explore the rugged North West Scottish Highlands, whether on a family holiday or a quick weekend escape.

Inchnadamph, meaning "meadow of the stags" in Gaelic, lives up to its name with deer often grazing just a few feet from the accommodations. The area is celebrated for its stunning geology, diverse wildlife, and a wealth of outdoor activities, including fishing on Loch Assynt and nearby lochs, facilitated by the Assynt Angling Club. Visitors are also drawn to the area’s historical sites, scenic walking trails, and fascinating caves, making it a destination that appeals to both adventure seekers and those seeking peace and relaxation.

The Byre offers a self-contained, upper-floor room that is accessed via an external staircase. This spacious room is designed to comfortably accommodate up to three guests, with a double and a single bed. The room is equipped with modern conveniences, including en suite facilities, a TV/DVD player, and Wi-Fi access, ensuring a comfortable stay. A highlight of The Byre is its balcony, where guests can relax and take in the stunning views of Loch Assynt and the surrounding peaks of Conival, Quinag, and Canisp, especially at sunset when the landscape is bathed in warm, golden light. The room also includes a kitchenette with essential amenities for self-catering, allowing guests to prepare their meals at their convenience. For those who prefer a bit more cooking space, a separate kitchenette is available. The Byre also offers private off-road parking, ensuring guests have easy access to their vehicles throughout their stay.

Kirkton Kabin provides a more rustic yet comfortable alternative, ideally suited for campers, cyclists, and backpackers travelling along the North Coast 500 or the Cape Wrath Trail. This one-room brick building, formerly a telephone exchange, offers a cozy retreat with a double and a single bed, providing a welcome break from the elements for those accustomed to sleeping under canvas. While simple, the Kabin is well-equipped, with access to electric sockets, a small dining table, and basic bedding. For an additional charge, guests can also rent duvets and towels. The Kabin is complemented by outdoor facilities, including a toilet and shower room located just a few meters away, an outdoor washing up sink, and a cooking area designed for use with guests' own gas stoves.
