Shore Cottage

Situated on the shore of the tidal estuary of the Kyle of Durness, with panoramic views of the mountains and sea, Shore Cottage is a dream highland retreat. Comfortably furnished throughout and just a stone's throw from stunning beaches and mountains, it really is the ultimate escape for walkers and wildlife-watchers alike.

On entering Shore Cottage, guests will find a generous porch, with ample space for storing walking boots, waterproofs and picnic gear. Through the porch you'll enter the cosy open plan living spce. With huge windows that look out over the water of the Kyle, this room really feels like the heart of the home. There's a tastefully decorated sitting-area with an array of books and games to keep you entertained should the weather turn and a log-burner to ensure you're toasty all year round. The modern kitchen is well-equipped with all you could need to whip up a feast. Snug and serene with a view you just can't look away from, we suspect much of your time will be spent relaxing here.

To one side of the living space is the main bedroom. Furnished with a king-size bed and luxurious bed linen, it has a large adjoining bathroom with a bath, as well as an area of plentiful wardrobe storage. To the other side of the living space is the twin bedroom with two single beds and built-in wardrobe storage. Beautifully adorned, this bedroom also has an adjoining shower-room.

Next to the twin bedroom is a utility space, containing a washing machine and drying equipment. After a long day of walking, this provides a practical space to peel off those muddy layers and refresh yourself.

Outside the cottage there's a small patio area with an unforgettable view over the Kyle to the mountains beyond. The traditional wooden picnic bench is perfectly placed to relax and admire this vista whether sitting out with your morning coffee or enjoying an al fresco dinner.
