Welcoming. Humbling. Majestic.
Lochinver, because it has a beautiful loop walk through forest then into the hills, plus it also has Culag Woods.
Walking in the hills or woods, exploring the beaches and spending time with friends.
Bring your imagination, comfy shoes, photos from home and come with an open mind.
Agata
General assistant
Agata is originally from Poland and has returned to Kylesku after her first visit in 2018. She speaks English and Polish. Keen to help us improve our green credentials.
Feels like family.
A few walks I might share in secret. A lot to explore within a short distance, with stunning views.
Exploring coastal, forest, mountain hikes, exploring dead end roads for hidden places, hiking and staying overnight in bothies.
Take part in any activities, organised trips, evenings together, as that will make you feel part of the place very quickly.
Rachael
General assistant
Rachael is from Glasgow and joined Kylesku in 2018. A professional contemporary dancer for eight years, she has also taught English as a Foreign Language in Honduras and worked in various hospitality roles.
Pure dead brilliant!
Standing on the Skiag road driving home after a late shift and looking back towards Kylesku on a clear, starry night, feeling engulfed by the stars and Milky Way. It’s humbling to feel so tiny.
There’s a few: dinner with friends, dipping my toes in the sea and sitting reading by the fire. All of which ground me.
Give it the time and attention it deserves. It’s different every day!
Pavlina
General assistant
Pavlina is from the Czech Republic and began working in hospitality in Scotland in 2016 after training as a lawyer and discovering she prefers the Scottish outdoors and the seasonal flexibility.
Upper Badcall, which is not far away from here, just between Kylesku and Scourie. You turn left and there’s just a beautiful view of the little islands and the ocean.
Walks and nature. Every day the sunset is different. You can be in one place and think you know the place, but it looks different in the rain.
Definitely the seafood, because it’s so fresh. For the guests, it’s nice when they sit outside having afternoon tea and can see the fresh delivery just hear on the jetty.
They are really flexible here, which I really like.
Cassandra
General assistant
Cassandra first came to work at Kylesku in 2016 as a student placement, returning in 2019. Originally from France, she has worked in hospitality in France and Scotland, and with a cruise agency in Australia.
Revitalising, relaxing, peaceful.
I would say Handa Island for the nice walks we can do there and observe lovely puffins. On the top of that landscape’s really worth the trip.
Photography. I love capturing moments, landscapes and faces.
Just enjoy the great atmosphere and authentic landscapes.
Cathy

Has recently joined the team from South Africa. Loving her new life in the Highlands, but worried about having left her car in the "safe" hands of her grandchildren.
Eilidh
GENERAL ASSISTANT
Recent graduate from Edinburgh University and looking for a career in hospitality management. Loves the North West Highlands and dipping her toes into Loch Glendhu!
