Why not sit in the comfort of the living room with roaring log burner or look out the window of stunning valley views. Or stand at the front door and soak up the view of the Rocky coastline, cliffs and surrounding farmland. The house is only a few minutes drive from the very popular surfing beaches of Farr and Strathy and also near the village of Bettyhill. Located just off the North Coast 500 tourist route and only a short drive to the ferry terminal to visit Orkney.
Working full time for the NHS and having two young children we only get to use this little gem a few times a year. Handed down through 3 generations, renting the house will help pass it on again.
For those guests travelling with young children you are never far from farm animals anyway, but you only have to walk out to the next door neighbours garden to see chickens, hens, goats, horses and ponys. The house is only a few minutes drive from the very popular surfing beaches of Farr and Strathy and also near the village of Bettyhill where visitors can go for a dip in the public swimming pool or relax in their steam room or Jacuzzi. Other points of interest nearby are the natural wonder of Smoo Cave, Durness, Dunnethead and Dunnethead Lighthouse (which is the most northerly point of the UK), Cocoa Mountain chocolate factory and beautiful Reay Golf Course. Car is essential.
