Although a little remote it is not far to access Northern Scotlands delights. Also shops and everything else you could need can be found in Wick. A separate 2 nd toilet is an absolute bonus. Very comfortable beds and sofas in lounge. Every utensil needed can be found in the kitchen and we found the cottage warm and toasty when the mist came down.!

The cottage was warm and comfortable, a good base for visiting a range of places. Good views over the sea towards the Beatrice wind farm, and good walks nearby. Good wifi, too. If you're looking for peace and quiet, it fits the bill.

The cottage was a delight, the views magnificient. To wake up and have breakfast with that view was fantastic, it just never got old The cottage was well equipped and clean, we found there was plenty of room and soon found the best places to go. We have already talked about returning to this cottage next year, but maybe for longer than 2 weeks.

Definitely 1 of the loveliest places I have ever stayed. Only about 100 yards from the main road but felt a world away. View from kitchen window to the sea is fantastic.

The location of the cottage was absolutely perfect for us, as we like to be isolated and enjoy our privacy. The facilities of the cottage were very good, double shower, bath, separate toilet and all the kitchen facilities you need as a home from home. Although the cottage was isolated, that didn't hamper the holiday as everything was within a hoursRead more drive and local amenities (Lidl, Tesco, takeaways), are within 20/30 mins drive in Wick. There is a great walk from the cottage for those with dogs. Hide
