We very much enjoyed a second stay at this lovely cottage in this stunning location, with very easy access to the wonderful beach. The cottage is very homely with a well equipped kitchen and comfy bed. We enjoyed exploring the local area, especially Brora and Loch Fleet seeing seals and herons, and walks around Ardgay, a trip to Ardvreck castle (though very busy) and a lovely drive through to Altnaharra and along to Helmsdale. Very much recommended and we very much hope to return. DV
