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

Alison
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.

Very comfortable, exceptionally clean, fully equipped, maintained to a very high standard and in a fabulous location. Owners Beth and Peter were just fabulous people who made our stay so perfect. This beautiful property exceeded all our expectations. The photographs do not do it full justice. I would highly recommend!
