Assynt House

Assynt House is the perfect place to take a recharging and idillic break. Everything from the food to the cleaning is of the highest quality. Graham and Elizabeth are brilliant hosts.

Assynt House is the Balmoral Castle for those who aren't royalty. It is a spectacular home lovingly restored and maintained by the owners. Elizabeth & Graham are gracious hosts who are welcoming, attentive and were fabulous at making dinner on our arrival. Our vacation there was incredible and won't be forgotten. It is simply a fantastic and beautiful home.

We stayed at Assynt house with friends and family for a big birthday celebration and it was exceptional! From the moment we booked, every query was handled quickly and efficiently. Whether it was finding us a ceilidh band or recommending great walks - nothing was too much trouble. We did some self-catering and Graham did some of the catering, including a 4 course dinner. The food was superb and the staff who came in to help were a credit to Graham and Elizabeth. We can’t wait to visit again.

Assynt House was truly the most perfect venue we could ever have imagined for our wedding, but also for the days running up to it, and days afterwards. All of the staff were so friendly and professional, including Elizabeth and Graham themselves who have thought of absolutely everything, and added the most wonderful little touches. We are in awe of what they've created and can't thank them enough. We are really hoping to return to this very special house in the future.

I cannot say enough about the fantastic stay we had at the Assynt House this past long weekend for a friends reunion. The house and location were gorgeous and every last detail was considered by the hardworking, friendly and all around incredible owners, Elizabeth and Graham. The house is even more amazing in person than the pictures could do justice. Each beautifully furnished and decorated bedroom has a separate bathroom (well equip with everything you could possibly need), the living spaces were perfect to accommodate our group of friends for the weekend and the catered dinners were incredibly delicious (and specially crafted to account for numerous preferences and allergies). We enjoyed the beautiful house and grounds, a close drive to numerous local attractions (including Loch Ness). A highlight for us was the bagpiper playing on the night of our arrival (which Elizabeth kindly coordinated for us!) Every single member of our group of 14 had a fabulous weekend and we are so grateful to Elizabeth and Graham for an incredible stay at the Assynt House. Hope to return soon!

I just wrapped up a week long stay here at the Assynt House. This place is incredible. A loving restored old country manor house. Updated with modern amenities with out sacrificing any of the country feel. Surrounded by gardens, this the perfect place for the fairy tail dream wedding. Or just a great place to stay while exploring the Scottish Highlands on a vacation with family or friends.Only 20-30 minutes to Historic down town Inverness and Loch Ness.The hosts and staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic.

A truly stunning venue in the most beautiful location, Assynt House is a unique gem of a place. The well kept historic venue is spacious and has all creature comforts, amazing views, peace and quiet and not last deliciously prepared local food. Which makes for four stars. Unfortunately google only allows five in total, including the rating for the amazing andexceptional hosts this should be six!

I truly cannot recommend Elizabeth, Graeme and their incredible team highly enough. It is the most perfect of perfect venues and the quality of produce, comfort level and exquisite location are beyond expectation. Our wedding was held here and it's not anything of an exaggeration to say Assynt House was the reason it was the most wonderful day. Your guests will love the relaxed and luxurious setting and as a couple you will be taken care from the first enquiry to the packing up of leftover cake. There is no other venue that could rival the level of personal care, attention and thoughtfulness that goes into every detail. Elizabeth is simply a dream to liaise with, you will not find a more patient or understanding person to help you with your day. There's nothing she can't do or source or sort for you; she's nothing short of super woman. Graeme's catering will be the talk of your guests, this is not your standard wedding food by any means. Everything is made with quality produce and is expertly curated and he's definitely the heart of the kitchen. I am beyond grateful to them both for the sheer amount of hard work and care that went into our day, they made us feel so special and looked after every step of the way.

I love this place, I try to come back as often as I can. The owners are lovely and very accommodating, the house and gardens are spectacular. I had my wedding here and it was perfect.Highly recommended.

Eight of us from the USA stayed at Assynt House while on a golfing trip in early July of this year. I can hardly find words to describe the experience. Our arrival was feted by a wonderful dinner prepared and served, respectively, by Graham and Elizabeth, the owners. That meal was amazing as were the accommodations and the loving touch these two gracious hosts apply to the guest experience. The rooms are spacious, beautifully appointed, and oh, so, comfortable!Daily breakfast at Assynt House is not to be missed and will leave you wanting for nothing; we seldom ate much out and about during the day before coming home to one of the incredible one pot" dinners that we enjoyed most evenings.The bucolic setting of the house captures the beauty of The Highlands and it is as peaceful and relaxing a place as I've ever experienced. The grounds are also lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed spending evenings (does it EVER get dark in July?) out on the grounds
