Located next door to the owner, it is a truly romantic seaside cottage for two. The attractive open plan living space looks out across the shoreline, where dolphins and porpoises are regularly seen. There is plenty of comfortable seating in the living area, and the bright modern kitchen is very well equipped and complete with a breakfast bar. A door leads out from here to a secluded patio garden with outdoor garden furniture. Cottage stairs lead up to the charming double bedroom where a small table and chairs at the far end look out across the sea, taking maximum advantage of the amazing views. There is a modern shower room on the ground floor. Opposite the cottage, across the tiny backwater lane, there is a delightful terrace garden overlooking the sea. With flower pots, tubs and outdoor garden furniture, it provides an ideal spot to enjoy a drink whilst watching the small craft bobbing on the bay in the tiny harbour.
Seascape is ideally located in this quaint seaside village and just a short walk to the adjoining ‘seaboard’ villages of Balintore and Shandwick. There is a pub, village shop, restaurant and café all within easy level walking distance along the seafront. The shoreline along this coast boasts wide sandy beaches interspersed with rocky outcrops. The area is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise with sailing, canoeing, surfing and fishing all local pastimes, and there is a slipway opposite the cottage, ideal for launching kayaks and small craft. Mountain biking, hill walking, golf and horse riding are also enjoyed locally. Just 10 minutes’ drive away is the pretty sandstone town of Tain, the oldest Royal Burgh of Scotland.

Seascape was literally a breath of fresh air. A wonderful little cottage overlooking the sea with a very welcoming owner next door. The cottage was well equipped with plenty of thoughtful touches . Great walks on the doorstep loved by us and our dogs. I didn’t want to leave!

My dog, Ruby and I recently spent a lovely relacing week at Sescape Cottage. The owner who lives next door was friendly and welcoming. The cottage had all we needed and it was lovely to look out at the sea every morning rain or shine. The nearby towns of Tain, Invergordon, Dornoch and Alness are all quickly reached and there are many places to walk whether it be woodland or the beach. People we met were friendly and it was lovely to explore this part of Scotland.
