Benefiting from renovations and refurbishment in 2024, the cottage has a new central heating system, bathroom and decoration throughout. Open the cottage door into the hallway followed by a feature stable door leading into the living room with cosy wood burner. The adjoining kitchen is accessed from the living room through another stable door, and is well-equipped with modern built-in units for plentiful storage and dining for two.

Steep cottage stairs lead up from the living room to the first floor landing. While there are handrails, guests should appreciate that the stairs are very steep and extra care should be taken. The cottage is not suitable to anyone with reduced mobility given the gradient of the staircase. Off the landing is a pretty cottage-style double bedroom plus bathroom with deep freestanding bath and handheld in bath shower attachment.

While there is no cottage garden, the beach is literally on your doorstep leading to superb coastal walks, including the particularly spectacular route that winds around the coast, passing the Tarbat Ness Lighthouse on a promontory. Within ten minutes' drive lies the oldest Royal Burgh of Scotland. Tain is a charming historic town, predominantly build from local mellow sandstone, and featuring a wide variety of sporting and recreational opportunities. Find the internationally recognised Glenmorangie Whisky Distillery and famous Falls of Shin, one of the very few places to catch a sighting of salmon leaping. The enchanting town of Dornoch, with its magnificent cathedral, award-winning sandy beach and championship Royal Dornoch golf course. The area is renowned for its archaeological sites and at the nearby Tarbat Discovery Centre there is a fascinating display of Pictish, Norse and Medieval artefacts.
