Accommodation overview: Enjoying uninterrupted views out to sea this charming cottage sits in open countryside, 1 mile from the old fishing village of Lybster, once a major herring port and now a peaceful retreat. The typically austere Caithness exterior conceals a beautiful well-appointed interior, stylishly and imaginatively restored, providing a bright, comfortable and welcoming holiday home. 1/2 a mile up a private track off the main road, the cottage has extensive grassy grounds and a large paved area with garden furniture. Lybster has excellent hotels, local shops, a golf course and a scenic harbour situated in a delightful bay. The busy port of Wick is 15 miles north and John o'Groats and the Orkney ferry terminal at Scrabster are both under an hour's drive, offering fascinating day trips. There are picturesque villages, rocky coves and clean beaches all along this magnificent coastline while inland are unspoiled moors and mountains including the mysterious Strath of Kildonan where gold is still panned in the river. Extensive walking and hill loch fishing are amongst the local activities available. 1 double bedroom, 1 twin bedroom, lovely airy open plan living/dining/kitchen area with a mezzanine gallery with two futons accessed by a steep open stair, shower room. All electric plus open fire. Fridge, washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, television, video, CD player. Bed linen and towels provided.
