WELCOME TO mountview lodges
Luxury self Catering Accommodation in Lochinver
About us
Nestled on the picturesque shores of Lochiner, Mountview Lodges provides breathtaking views of the bay and the majestic Mountains of Assynt, one of the last unspoiled wildernesses in Europe. The property extends from the shoreline up the hill, providing stunning waterside and hillside locations.
Our eight luxury properties, complete with hot tubs, sleep from 2 to 6 people. Combined, we could sleep 24 for friend groups and large families who want to get away together, being close enough to enjoy one another’s company while having the privacy of being individually housed.
Ideally situated for both sea-loch and river fishing, coastal walks or mountain treks, and with opportunities to view various wildlife, including Golden Eagles, Sea Eagles, Seals, Otters, and Dolphins, our holiday properties are the ideal get-away for the outdoor enthusiast or those who seek peace and relaxation amidst stunning scenery.
Also, we are ideally located for a break on Route NC 500 (North Coast 500): more than 500 miles of the best beautiful coastal routes the North Highlands has to offer. The route runs to and from Inverness, venturing around the capital of the Highlands, up the West Coast, and back via the rugged north coast.

We can only echo the many good reviews that have already appeared on this site. The cabin was well equipped to a high standard with all the comforts of home. On our arrival there was goody bag welcome pack including a Jar of locally produced Marmalade and a pouch of ground coffee plus some home made tablet which we thought was a nice touch. Both the bedroom and the lounge have large TVs, the one in the lounge being a smart TV linked to the WiFi. It is possible to swim off the jetty at the bottom of the garden if you dont mind a bit of seaweed but this is best done at high tide.
Thanks to Suzy for providing us with a micro screwdriver when a screw fell out of my Wife's glasses . (Hope you got it back ok).
All in all an excellent self catering accommodation and a brilliant base to explore locally and even on foot from the doorstep.
