Fabulous cottage, larger inside than looks and very well equipped.Owner popped round to make sure we were ok on arrival and give some local knowledge of the area and things to do. Dolphins did not show this trip but plenty of seals and the weather was great for walking to the lighthouse.

Lovely cottage in an idyllic location, everything provided that you’d need and a great place to either explore the local area or relax and switch off from things.

Lovely, spacious, well equipped cottage with a beach at the end of the road. The location is very pretty and the village has a shop and a pub but there are more amenities in Tain which is a short drive away.
