It provides bright and generous accommodation, and the lounge has large picture windows that boast amazing uninterrupted sea views across the Pentland Firth to Orkney. There is a bright, modern kitchen/dining area and three attractively presented bedrooms. The garden grounds lead directly down to the sea with a private rocky beach. This area has some of the finest beaches to be found in the UK. At nearby Dunnet Bay, paths lead through the white sandy dunes to the sweeping beach below.

The Castle of Mey, beautifully restored by the late Queen Mother, is clearly visible from the cottage and just a stones throw away. This fairytale castle has a fascinating history and the gardens, grounds and views are wonderful. The whole area is renowned for its bird and sea life, puffins, Great Skua, otters, seals, dolphins and whales are all seen around these coastal waters. Take a boat trip from John O’ Groats to encounter the sealife and to explore this fascinating coastline. Day trips are also available to the Orkney Isles, where visitors can explore Neolithic villages, standing stones, Scapa Flow and the amazing Italian chapel, built by prisoners during the Second World War.

Beautiful Beach View

This property is exactly as shown. Really enjoyed our stay. The wind storms are amazing. Contact with the host was really slow. We didn't hear back about the entry code until a day after our reservation started. Cottages.com helped us out.

Too dog friendly!

Owner wasn’t expecting us for another day so house had not been cleaned nor linens changed. I called owner, read my booking confirmation, and they got someone out to house to do a quick clean and linen change about bed time. I have read prior reviews by dog owners and they loved it. But there were far too many dog hairs, stains & smells for us. Carpets, sofas, and chairs are filthy even after a thorough vacuuming. A minor point for me was that none of linen matched, not even 2 pillow cases on a bed. The location and having surf right out back door were wonderful. The house had so much potential but needs a deep clean and updating.

Voll ausgestattet Küche

Für uns wichtig ist die voll ausgestattete Küche inkl Messbecher und Waage. Genügend Geschirr und Gläser. Einzig eine neue Bratpfanne ist längst überfällig. Ausreichend Frottétücher, Decken und Kissen. Heizung funktioniert sehr gut. Eine Gummilippe haben wir für die Dusche hinterlassen, da sehr viel Wasser nicht abläuft und es schlecht austrocknet. Wir würden wieder kommen.
