About this property
Kinlochbervie 4 miles. An architecturally designed house providing something a little bit special! One of two similar properties, the owners live next door, this spacious, bright and contemporary house will ensure a wonderful holiday in the remote north of Scotland. This house would be ideal for a family group or group of friends who want to get away from it all to this unspoilt and stunningly beautiful part of Scotland. The ground floor has a contemporary open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area from which the views can be really appreciated and a lovely sitting area set around a cosy woodburning stove. There is a utility/boot room and ground floor shower room. On the upper floor there are two bright bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the pleasant evenings visitors will most certainly appreciate sitting on their private balcony and soaking up the views with a nice glass of wine or two! It may be hard to leave such a lovely house but close by is the famous Sandwood Bay Beach reputedly the most beautiful beach in Britain. The wild and spectacular Sandwood Bay is backed by huge sand dunes and a loch and visitors can enjoy a lovely walk, paddle in the clear blue water or even a picnic! If you want to tour the area then why not head up to Durness the most north westerly point in mainland Scotland. Whilst here you must visit the spectacular Smoo Cave, a combined sea and freshwater cave complex which you can explore by boat or by the path from the car park. There is so much to see and do in this remote and beautiful area of Scotland and this lovely holiday home ensures an unbeatable holiday. EPC Rating: Band F
Kinlochbervie is the most northerly of all the fishing ports and boasts a large fish handling depot from where catches are dispatched throughout Europe. Because of this the roads in the surrounding area are first class! The village itself has a well-stocked shop, a post office and hotels and restaurant that are open all year round. There is easy to access Oldshoremore Beach and Sandwood Bay Beach.

Cottage was warm, welcoming, well equipped and comfortable. Our hosts were helpful and friendly and very generous with the log supply. We had incredible weather - summer in November for a few days! Scenery and walks were fantastic. We stocked up in Inverness before travelling to Skipaflotta but didnât need to because the Spar shop in Kinlochbervie is very well stocked, the fresh fish van called and our hosts provided basic tea/coffee/sugar/milk (and cake). Our only disappointment was not seeing the Northern lights.

The hosts are close by, very considerate and approachable (if you need anything), and the views are probably some of the best in Sutherland. Walks are available straight from the front door. Handy for Sandwood Bay, Oldshoremore and other stunning beaches in this beautiful north west corner of Scotland.

We had an amazing week, admittedly, we were very fortunate with the weather, but even on the only poor day we had it is still a fabulous place to be. Elizabeth and Peter were great hosts. We hardly saw them after our arrival but knew we could have contacted them if required. They had already thought of everything so we didn't need anything further. There is a lot to do in the area and it was such a pleasure to have such a charming place to explore from.
