“We felt at home in this cottage , it had a really good feel .”

it was extremely well equipped with everything you would expect and mores besides. so comfortable that we did not want to leave. The Owners were amazing and we spent many a time chatting in the street, hearing about the History of the area. The information folder was well put together with a wealth of information with regards to the History of the cottage . the area was really nice with easy access to the harbour , plenty of walks and Dunbeath Broch. Such a shame the Hotel is no longer used ...

Such a shame the Hotel is no longer used and in a bad state of repair. we were told that the when it was open you would have been treated to an excellent meal. it could be a real gem in a great location

“Greeted by pleasant, friendly owner; scones, jam and shortbread biscuits on the kitchen table when we went in - very thoughtful little touch.”

Many useful leaflets and brochures available, and two current magazines. There was a village shop 50 yards away. Location great for visiting the far North of Scotland. Quiet location. Comfortable house. We had a great holiday, and would return to Scotland.

Mrs Fowether July 2019

“We arrived to a warm welcome from the owner who took time to show us around the cottage.”

She had also provided us with some lovely homemade buns and some biscuits and jam. We felt very much at home from the first day. The cottage is generally comfortable and well equipped but my husband found the sofa a little uncomfortable. Having said that, the Scottish weather was very kind to us and we spent a great deal of time out and about. Would we return? Yes!
