The most North Westerly village in mainland Scotland, the ancient village of Durness, unspoilt by modern convention, offers a truly peaceful location amidst awe inspiring landscape. The village is steeped in history and boasts evidence of an 8th Century Christian settlement, cave dwellings and Viking invasions. The surrounding coastline is fringed with spectacular beaches of silver sand, soaring cliffs and deep caves. It is a splendid location from which to explore the solitude of the Highlands whilst watching the varied wildlife, or enjoying a spot of golf on Britain's most northerly golf course. Vist Smoo Cave, a large sea cave with a tiny river running through, and the large colony of puffins at nearby Faraid Head, offering a superb opportunity for wildlife photography. The local Craft Village, situated on a rather picturesque old RAF radar base, affords visitors the opportunity to purchase local giftware and art, produced by this sustainable, hospitable community. A vast area of outstanding natural beauty, Durness makes an ideal base for touring the rest of the Highlands.

Previous visitors' comments about Ceol-na-Mara:
The cottage was very homely and on arrival there was a bottle of wine and also biscuits for us, which I thought was a nice gesture. The house was very relaxing and the proprietor very helpful - definitely go back.
Mrs Daly, Warlingham, August 2011
We loved the location of the cottage! So much to do in the town and loved that you could see the waves crashing against the rocks while staying nice and warm inside. The cottage was cozy and met all of our needs. It was everything we expected and more. Would recommend to everyone!
Staniszewski, Spring, August 2011
The views, the friendly owner and caretaker, the quirky set up of the building, the equipment. By the way the website pictures make the bedrooms look smaller than they really are!
Mr Pearson, Carlisle, July 2011
We have stayed in many properties over the years, and this one is the very best. We cannot fault it. The outstanding views from the cottage have to be seen to be believed. The owners of this cottage are to be congratulated as they have thought of the visitors' every need. We hope to return time and time again.
