Cottage to rent in Thurso, Northern Scotland

Accommodation details

Overlooking the sea in Dunnet Head (Britain’s most northerly point) sits this charming three-bedroom property. Originally a croft cottage, it has been transformed into an inviting place full of charm and character, and is a great holiday getaway for a family or group of friends. It’s the place to come if you love untamed landscapes, wildlife, and the sea. Whitewashed walls, swathes of natural light, and cheerful decor make it a homely place. The ground floor living area is a relaxing space with a bright conservatory where you can sit and unwind with a good book or simply marvel at the glorious views.

From here, step through to the inviting lounge with its plump sofa and chairs. There’s even a wood burner to keep things cosy on chillier nights. Overlooking the lounge is a dining table, seating six people where you can linger over a delicious meal or play board games. Leading off from here is a contemporary kitchen kitted-out with all the cooking utensils you’ll need for a comfortable stay.

The master bedroom is located on this floor and features a double bed and a modern en-suite bathroom. Extra comforts include under floor heating and an infrared sauna so you can soothe aching muscles at the end of the day. From the ground floor, a narrow stairway leads to the first floor and the twin and double bedrooms.

Both rooms are light and airy with bold prints on the walls. There’s also a family bathroom on this floor. Outside, enjoy a morning coffee at the garden table while contemplating the glorious sea views. Children will love to run free on the lawn but on windier days, the outdoor summer house is the ideal place to sit and play or plan your day’s adventure.

Come evening, take it easy in the outdoor hot tub then gather around the fire pit and watch as the stars light up the sky.
