  • "A nice cottage to use as a base to explore the highlands"

    Reviewed by Kane5.0★Sep 2023

  • "This cottage is the original definition of being 'in the middle of nowhere' and on initial view inside it seems to be caught in a time warp of at least 40 years, but after a while I realised that it's really a cosy country cottage."

    The kitchen has been modernised, the bathroom was a good standard and the beds were comfortable. Especially because of the complete darkness at night, it allowed for a good sleep. Overall it was like staying in a Grandmother's cottage, but with modern conveniences.

  • "Loft bedrooms had radiators but no control knobs, so children cold."

    The cooker was very dated and dangerous as the hot plates did not light up, therefore they could look off but still be hot, the grill did not show red either. The lack of a bulb in the outside light fitting was also dangerous as the two very steep steps down to the garden are very slippery, so night time was a hazard.

  • "This was a lovely place to stay, the welcome was great."

    We loved the location a great place to get to places from and nice to come back to after a busy day. Bonus was getting to feed the lambs.

  • "Excellent comfortable and cosy accommodation - clean and tidy on arrival, with basics in the fridge and cupboards to make a cuppa."

    Working sheep farm location which only added to the experience, highly recommend.

  • "We enjoyed a fantastic week in Caithness and Toftingall Farm was the perfect base for our excursions."

    The cottage was clean, warm, spacious and comfortable and ideal for anyone travelling with dogs. Staying on a working farm at lambing time was a highlight and would be a great experience for families and children who have not experienced this before. The property owner, Liz, was very welcoming and we loved being shown around the new born lambs. Highly recommended.

Toftingall Farm Cottages

Situated in the idyllic countryside of the Scottish Highlands hamlet of Watten is this charming duo of cottages, Toftingall Farm Cottages. Enjoying superb countryside surroundings and the appeal of the owner's own very large working farm, the cottages provide a wonderful escape to a scenic area at any time of year. The cottages rest one mile apart, making them fantastic for multi-generational families or a group of friends, allowing both privacy and unity for a wonderful self-catered break. The immediate area is perfectly suited for walking and cycling, while further activities including horse riding and climbing, can be found within easy reach of the farm. There are many charming villages and hamlets in the area, such as Halkirk, as well as coastal areas and slightly more built-up towns where you can stock up on essentials or dine out should you want a break from cooking, such as Thurso. Take advantage of the stunning landscapes in the area and venture a little further to the coast. Whaligoe Steps makes a lovely day of walking in the fresh sea air, while Ulbster Alpaca Trekking is a unique experience not to be missed. History buffs can spend a day discovering Cairn of Get, or an afternoon at the Dunbeath Heritage Museum. Savour the sea views and varying terrains of Nybster Broch, or head north from the cottages and visit the grand Duncansby Head Lighthouse and stroll around the Castle & Gardens of Mey. Whether you tour the area or unwind with your loved ones, Toftingall Farm Cottages is the perfect choice for a break in the picture-perfect Scottish Highlands.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.
