“Wow! No words can describe our experience.”

From the moment we booked until the moment we arrived home after our holiday everything was absolutely perfect. Mary and Merv were the perfect hosts from the information we received about the property to the Lemon Drizzle cake on arrival to the local information from Merv that led us to meet Callum! If you want peace and quiet, tranquility, peace of mind, just a place to get away from the world and recharge the batteries then this is the place to head to. The views as you approach the village are the best we have ever experienced - and we have seen a few! Be prepared for a drive every day - for us it was perfect but for some it maybe a little too quiet - it is set out of the way. Its a 20 minute drive to the nearest (the only) village store! We cannot rate this highly enough - like I said WOW WOW WOW!!! Thank you Mary and Merv! Once I have some work dates sorted we are coming back next year if the Barn / Chapel are available for our dates.

Mr Wakefield June 2023

“Wonderful get away from it all retreat.”

The cabin was very well equipped, everything working, and very comfortable. Mervin and Mary were extremely helpful without being intrusive. Such a beautiful part of the world, we didn’t miss the tele or newspapers one bit, had a wonderful week.

Miss Mcleod May 2023

“A wonderful retreat.”

Perfect for our honeymoon and very kind and helpful owners :).

- Miss Mcleod, May 2023
Ms Venus May 2023

“Diabaig is a fantastic setting with great walks and stunning scenery.”

The property was well equipped but it would have been lovely to be able to see the view of the coast which was tantalisingly close but obscured by trees. Lovely to be in a woodland setting but a bit of tree-trimming would have greatly enhanced the location.

- Ms Venus, May 2023
Mr Amor April 2023

“Wonderful holiday, Mervin and Mary very welcoming.”

The weather and location were fantastic, memorable holiday. Diabaig is very picturesque, property great.

Miss Mcleod-wilson December 2022

“An amazing holiday, beautiful cabin, really pleasant owners and perfectly quiet.”

Will 100% rebook for another much needed break.

Mrs Oxley November 2022

“Our lodge was superb.”

Everything we needed and more was provided. We even had a lemon cake left for us, which was really delicious. The owners were very nice as well and were pleased to help if needed. It was really warm and cosy especially with the log burner on. We didn’t want to leave. The only thing that would of give the cabin an 11 out of ten, would be a hot tub.

- Mrs Oxley, November 2022
Mr Edwards October 2022

“Chapel House was very well presented on arrival with excellent directions and communication from the owners.”

Flowers and delicious homemade cake were lovely to walk into and property was spotless. Very welcoming. The house has everything you need, in a peaceful setting and perfect for escaping the rat race. Information and maps of local area and walks and a great log burner, all in all we were very impressed. The only thing that let it down for us was the bed which we found too small, not very comfortable after a long day out walking and creaked loudly even if one of us turned over. Apart from this we couldn't fault the cottage and Mary's attention to detail. Thank you!.

- Mr Edwards, October 2022
Mrs Smith October 2022

“Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

Owners very helpful and have provided lots of maps and reading material. We had fantastic weather for October and thoroughly enjoyed our week in the Torridon hills.

- Mrs Smith, October 2022
Mrs Hilditch October 2022

“A fabulous relaxing holiday, great facilities and very welcoming hosts.”

Would definitely return

- Mrs Hilditch, October 2022
Mr Reeve August 2022

“A very lovely cabin well appointed in a great location.”

The owners were extremely welcoming and friendly. We would recommend this highly. The views are stunning and local community lovely.

- Mr Reeve, August 2022
Mrs Gillies July 2022

“Chapel House is a secluded retreat in a very quiet wooded hillside near the Loch.”

The house is very well equipped. The owners have carefully thought through everything one could need and we're very happy to offer advice on the local area. Diabeg is a lovely little village at the end of a long very picturesque single track road.

- Mrs Gillies, July 2022
Mrs Hetherington July 2022

“The perfect accommodation for people who want to leave the city behind, to breathe in clean air and explore the magnificent Torridon landscape.”

Chapel House was spotlessly clean and the owners were very kind and helpful. Their welcome tray included a delicious home-made lemon drizzle cake. If you are comfortable to abstain from modern tech and TV for a week to just be and soak up the peacefulness and natural beauty of Torridon - you will love this place! Great for walkers, cyclists and climbers.

- Mrs Hetherington, July 2022
Sheila Fisher Nov 2020

“Chapel House is the most lovely and picturesque place to have a holiday.”

The views down to the harbour at Diabaig from the end of the road are stunning, it is a real bolt hole from 21st century living. Mervyn and Mary are a very welcoming couple, who could not do enough to ensure that we had everything that we needed. The house is warm and comfortable, and extremely well equipped, and it was very pleasant to leave televisions and technology behind for a few days. Lovely walks, friendly people, a place to be thoroughly recommended.

- Sheila Fisher, Nov 2020
Calum Murray Sep 2020

“Amazing cabin in a secluded location.”

We booked this property to take a break from a hectic few months. The area is perfect for anyone interested in the outdoors, it’s hard to beat Torridon. We spent our days hiking, paddle boarding and exploring the wider area. Plenty of options for good food and local stores were well stocked. We spent our evening relaxing by the fire. With no phone signal, it was a perfect getaway!

- Calum Murray, Sep 2020
Steve Jan 2020

“Another brilliant stay in Diabaig.”

A lovely welcome pack, fantastic hosts. Chapel house has everything we needed for our trip away for hogmanay. This is the second visit we've visited and this was just as good as the first. Our main reasons for the visit were walking and relaxation and this is the perfect location for both

- Steve, Jan 2020
R. Kilbey Sep 2019

“We had a lovely peaceful week here at the end of August.”

The house is so well equipped and extremely cosy, so even though we were not lucky with the weather, it didn't matter a bit. Thanks so much to the owners who went above and beyond to make our stay so nice.

- R. Kilbey, Sep 2019
Robyn Shilland Nov 2018

“We had a fantastic few days in Chapel House in April 2018.”

The cottage is cosy, comfortable and in a wonderful setting in birch woodland filled with wildlife. It was perfect to return to after a day out on the Torridon hills! The owner left us homemade lemon drizzle cake, as well as teas and coffee, which was lovely to arrive to after a long journey. The house feels very secluded along a single-track road from Torridon - a perfect location if you want a 'get away from it all' retreat! The views through the trees to Loch Torridon are spectacular.

- Robyn Shilland, Nov 2018
Irene Nov 2018

“Chapel House is a very cosy and comfortable accommodation in a truly wonderful surrounding.”

We felt very much at home and enjoyed our holiday a lot!

The property

Chapel House is one of two timber cottages set in a delightful sylvan setting in five acres of private cliff-top woodland. The woodland is at its best in the spring when a succession of primroses, wood anemones and bluebells may be seen and, in the autumn, when the colours are superb. In the winter there are views from the cottage of the loch and mountains beyond. The architect-designed cottage has French windows in the living room which open out onto a timber deck that faces south and west and the double bedroom also has south-facing patio doors. The cottage has a woodburning stove and you will arrive to find a basket of logs, with further logs available to purchase. There is also electric heating, though as the cottage has been designed to ecological standards with double glazing and good insulation, little extra heating is required. The village of Diabeg is a small crofting community beyond Bealach na Gaoithe, one of the most beautiful west Highland passes, from which there are stunning views of Ben Alligin, Liathach and Upper Loch Torridon as well as south to Applecross and Skye. From Diabeg there is easy access to the Torridon Mountains for hill walking and there are also many fine cliff-top and lochside walks in the area. The village is home to the excellent Gillie Bridhde restaurant, set on the sore of the picturesque Diabeg Bay. EPC Rating: Band E
