Describing this Highland mansion as a true Scottish escape doesn't really do it justice, but slide in a few words like 'luxurious', 'opulent', and 'lavish', and you've got a much clearer image. Getting to Assynt House, you'll be travelling through the stunning countryside, allowing your brain to switch off and get ready for something different. There is complimentary daily housekeeping services along with many extra services you can order as an extra bonus. Among the options include full catering, a welcome greeting with the sound of bagpipes, and a local guide who will show you the best this area has to offer. It's not uncommon to see a couple of deer in the morning mist and sheep grazing on the hillside as you explore the castle grounds, but you're more than welcome to stay in and enjoy the restored Georgian features.
