Pier Cottage in beautiful Kinlochbervie, in the unspoiled North West Sutherland

8/10 Good

"Decent prefab house, nice to have two bathrooms including a bath and one an ensuite. Quite old decor/furniture, but did the job. Loved the games, especially the 80s game of life! Functional kitchen although dishwasher needed salt/rinse aid and didn't work on last day. It was clean but a few dog hairs when we swept floor and cobwebs/spiders. Kinlochbervie is a quiet place, there's no pub or anything to do, but house conveniently opposite spa shop. A good base to explore the surrounding area."

1 bedroom accommodation in Rispond, near Durness

8/10 Good

"this is a comfortable and well equipped cottage in a private settlement. The owners are selling and it will be under new management soon. The internet access was unusually poor but I understand is not normally strong. it is an idylllic and historic location with a small harbour, although the view is from the house is a little limited by the main building. There are all necessary amentities except a church within a few miles and the local beaches are astonishingly beautiful. We swam."
