Location

Quinag is located in Achiltibuie, a traditional crofting community that hugs the coast of Badentarbet bay, sheltered by the Summer Isles. This is an area that has had settlements for many centuries, and remnants can still be seen in the hills and glens around us, preserved in the place names you will encounter as you explore the area. The Coigach peninsula offers a real “get away from it all” which never fails to deliver, among unspoilt beaches, hidden lochs, majestic mountains and enticing islands. Wildlife abounds, both on land and at sea.

Quinag is ideally situated for enjoying the amenities and attractions that draw visitors to Coigach and Assynt, as well as being a great base to explore the wider region.
