Cottage and piano
What an unusual experience to stay in such a remote place. Our greatest pleasures were sitting on the outside bench watching life go by and all the remote walks we took. Plus…. the amazing piano! I played each morning to my heart’s content. Such a unique experience for a traveler to have music be part of their journey. Thank you Daisy. I’d love to meet you one day. Judith and Stephen

Remote Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at Daisy's cottage. It was cozy and comfortable with beautiful views and access to stunning hikes (Old Man of Stoer, the local beaches). Daisy was always available for questions or tips during our stay. The highlight of our stay was the trip to Handa Island (the drive along the single-track coastal road was a little harrowing; I would recommend driving through Lochinver) and taking a boat excursion to see the beaches and a seal colony from the perspective of the water. We even took a quick swim in the North Sea! Highly recommend this beautiful, well-appointed cottage, particularly if you're looking to get away from the rhythms of daily life and work. Thank you, Daisy!

Cried when we left..
We have just returned from this magical place ... We have had the quietest, most relaxing week..eating lovely food and walking in nature..beaches and mountain views to die for. The location is very remote, a good 30 minute drive to find petrol so pre planning your supplies of food and a full tank is a must. The house is so well thought out, everything you could need, a stunning view and very well apointed, warm and cosy. Daisy our host could not have been more helpful. We loved it so much we did not want to leave. The wifi works well enough that the kids could play they're games when we were home. And we were still able to work a little, as we both run buisnesses. Morning coffe overlooking the view out on the bench is a real 'must'. We cant reccomend this place enough and will return .

Excellent cottage!
Had a lovely stay here with my family. Very comfy place with a well equipped kitchen. Perfect base for exploring the beaches, walks and bike rides on the peninsula. Plus the lovely food (and more) in Lochinvar is only a 20 minute drive away, with Assynt mountains just beyond. Daisy was an excellent host and answered questions quickly. Highly recommend.

Cottage well kitted out with everything you would need. Excellent base for exploring part of the NC500 route. Lots of good local walks, excellent beaches nearby. Try the pie shop at Lochinvar and the coffee van at stoer lighthouse, both excellent. Cottage warm and cozy.

Beautiful Cottage in Stunning Location
This cottage is everything it promises to be: comfortable, warm, clean, well cared for and in a perfect location. Access is straightforward and the directions very clear. The property owner was very helpful and resolved a minor issue with WiFi immediately. So much to do from the front door, including some swimming in the nearby little bay, about 15 minutes walk. If you have bikes so much the better. Would highly recommend this cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Torran Cottage review.
Property is lovely and very, very comfortable and clean. The location is great, but I think I was under the impression that the bay area was closer to the property itself. Ticks in the garden in June/July time were troublesome and meant we couldn't really enjoy sitting outdoors without being bitten - grass being overlong not ideal for deterring them either. Overall though a lovely property and would recommend it.

Amazing stay in a stunning traditional cottage on the edge of Scotland!
We visit this area at least 2 - 3 times a year. We love how rugged the area is and how at home we feel when we are there. The cottage itself is very charming and you will find everything you need to have an amazing stay! The views from the Garden are breathtaking! The pictures look good, but trust me the views are just spectacular! Daisy our host was great and made sure we had all the information we needed. There's no doubt we had an excellent stay and I'm sure anyone else will also agree. Thanks again Daisy for a great stay :)
