    Lovely remote location - very quiet. It was a terrific base for us to travel from. The house itself was very comfortable, laid out well and had all the facilities needed. The shower was fabulous which was needed at the end of the day!

    The property is perfectly located to access all parts of the Highlands. Communication with the owners was just right before and during our stay. The Old School House is extrememly well appointed and finished to a wonderfuly high standard. The presentation is perfect, the owners made sure that all the little details were just so. There were no hidden surprises, what you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. We adored the remoteness and the seclusion that Altnaharra offers as a Hamlet. If it's well apointed privacy and seclusion you are after, The Old School House delivers in spades. We will be returning.

    EVERYTHING! Perfect house, perfect location. The house is beautiful. It’s so so peaceful and quiet, very clean house! The fire is amazing, everything is easy to work in the house. It was very sad to leave this house because of how comfortable it was! Colin came to meet us and make sure we were all settled in which is amazing!

    Nothing to dislike.

    Excellent holiday cottage. Impeccably decorated and furnished throughout. Spacious and warm. Fully equipped with everything we needed. Communication from Colin was clear and timely and he gave us a warm welcome on arrival and ensured we were comfortable. Location is superb with views of mountains, moorland and you can just about see Lochnaver. If you get an evening with a clear sky you will get spectacular views of the milky way and constellations. If you want peace and quiet this place is ideal.

    Nothing - the place was absolutely stunning, recently renovated, has everything you need (be prepared to fight off the midges, depending on the time of the year you come visit)

    Beautiful property situated in the remote part of Highlands; very well-equipped with an easy access to a variety of scenic places; ideal for those who like to explore and enjoy hill walking but also a nice, peaceful place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life; Colin, the owner, was very welcoming and easily contactable in case of any problems (thankfully, we did not need to use his help as our stay was very pleasant and straightforward)

    There wasn’t anything we didn’t like, but be mindful it is Scotland and take midge repellent at the appropriate times of the year.

    If you like secluded, beautiful views, peace and quiet, lots of walks, then this is the place for you. The house has been refurbished to a very high standard and comes with everything you could wish for your stay. It was an old schoolhouse and knowing the history just added to its charm. One of the owners popped along to say hello, and you can ask anything you need. There’s a hotel within walking distance, open during the summer months. For the children, a play park is just along the road. All in all, a lovely location and property. Well worth a visit and very reasonably priced.

    There is nothing really not to like if you are looking for some quiet seclusion, but still want modern facilities.
