“It was a great cottage that we stayed in and during the day travelled to visit areas we wanted to see.”

Near to the cottage is a great shop where we could buy our meals and cook them in the cottage. It was great to relax and eat them.

“The property was very clean and location good however I have some concerns about things that could easily be rectified.”

There was no information sheet or instructions on where power switches were for the shower, cooker etc or any other essential information. The bathroom tiles are badly cracked and will harbour germs. Kitchen needs new sealant at back of sink splashback, lino floor cracked. The toilet seat was broken. The cold water tap in the kitchen was very hard to turn on and when managed it the tap made a high vibrating, thudding noise. There were other areas and overall I rate the property tired and needs some TLC, not worth the money paid. The neighbours at Number 2 were very friendly and helpful, a delightful couple.

“The cottage was nice and clean.”

It does need a bit of TLC. The kitchen was well stock but the cabinet door was missing, the fridge water dispenser leaked all over the kitchen floor, the cold water pipe made a really funny noise. And the master bedroom bed needs to be replace.The patio chairs also need replacing. But most of all they need to write a mad with diagrams to show where the cottage is situated. It took us ½ hrs to find it, and it is a very small village. We did have a peaceful and nice time. It is close to a lot of visitors attraction, but a lot are closed. You can still find some stuff to do.

“Lovely little cottage in Halkirk.”

We had a nice comfortable stay and would recommend to others. We were appreciative of the owner letting us bring the cat as we are waiting to move into our new home.

“WiFi would be a bonus, but the cottage itself is warm, comfortable, clean and more than adequate for our needs.”

“Loved the ease of website and booking.”

Some great properties to choose from. Description was very accurate. A very comfortable home from home cottage which the whole family enjoyed. Contact from the owner was great too, key collection easy and a nice welcome text/departure text.

Mrs Butler May 2015

“Liked the homely feel of the place and although we didn't have the best of weather the decking area was great.”

The cottage had everything we could need. The living room was full of books and even had some informative leaflets about the area. Not least was the monopoly which was fun. Would definitely stay again.

About the location

HALKIRK

Thurso 6 miles; Wick 16 miles; John O’Groats 25 miles.

Halkirk is a peaceful little village in Caithness, said to be the "first planned village in Scotland", surrounded by moorland and spectacular views and with excellent access both up North Sea and down to the Moray Coast. Halkirk offers a handful of amenities including small village pub, shop selling local produce and a hotel with restaurant. Halkirk is ideally placed for touring this remote and beautiful area of the Northern Highlands. It is also situated perfectly for a visit to John O'Groats, which is just 25 miles away and Durness, where Smoo Cave, Cape Wrath and the Durness Golf Course are well worth a visit. The daily ferry to Orkney is a 30 minute drive along the coast, and The Castle of Mey makes an interesting day out. With awe-inspiring views over the moorlands and glens, Halkirk is ideal for quiet retreat with walks and birdwatching. There are also several more amenities in Thurso just a short drive away.
