1 / 19Ca Na Each
Culkein, Highlands
A crofting cottage for four at Culkein near Drumbeg in Assynt, with an enclosed garden, a wood burner and the beaches of the far north west close by, two dogs welcome.
Assynt is the north west at its most improbable, mountains standing alone on the moor and white sand coves between the crofts, and Ca Na Each sits in the middle of it at Culkein, near Drumbeg on the single track loop off the North Coast 500. A crofting cottage for four with two dogs welcome, it is the dog friendly base for the far north west.
The last stretch of the approach is on foot, downhill from the parking to the door, which sets the tone: this is a place you arrive at properly. A porch takes the boots, the lounge keeps the wood burner and a sea view, the dining room overlooks the bay, and both bedrooms are upstairs, a double with sea views and a twin that joins into a super king. The enclosed garden has seating front and back, with two dogs' worth of room between.
The beach rotation is the reason to come. Clashnessie's pink sand and its waterfall, the split rock at Clachtoll, Achmelvich's white curve, each a short drive and each the kind of place a dog loses its composure entirely. Handa Island's puffin colony is up the coast for a boat day, leads on for the seabirds' sake.
The hills complete it: Quinag rises straight over Drumbeg, Suilven and Canisp stand alone to the south, and Lochinver, 12 miles around the coast road, holds the pie shop every walker in Assynt ends up in. Painters and writers come here for the light; dogs come for everything else.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Ca Na Each dog friendly?
Yes, Ca Na Each welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has an enclosed garden with seating front and back, giving your dogs room to roam safely, and the surrounding beaches and hills of Assynt make it a genuinely brilliant base for dogs and their people alike.
Are dogs allowed at Ca Na Each year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the cottage is set up with dogs in mind, and the beaches and hills of Assynt are rewarding in every season.
What should I know before visiting Ca Na Each with my dog?
The final approach to the cottage is on foot, downhill from the parking to the front door, so bear that in mind when packing. When you get out exploring, dogs should be kept on leads at Handa Island to protect the seabird colony, including the puffins — worth knowing before you plan a boat day up the coast.
