  • A spacious family home located in Durness, a popular stop on the NC500 route
  • Fantastic sea views across Sango Bay and beyond
  • Charming and comfortably furnished throughout, great for family gatherings
Property code: OC-81453

This magnificent family home, with spectacular views over Sango Bay, sleeps ten guests and two canine chums, making it ideal for large family holidays and celebrations with friends. The area is adored by hikers, dog walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, with endless walking opportunities in every direction. Let the hounds charge around on the pristine white sand of Balnakeil Beach, 3 miles away, or blow away the cobwebs with a clifftop walk at Kyle of Durness (3 miles).

A large entrance hall, with ample room for all your walking gear, welcomes you into this spacious property. Vibrant colours adorn the walls, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The main lounge is a wide, open space, with a wood burner, plenty of seating and room for the dog beds. The triple aspect windows really make the most of the gorgeous waterside views. There’s also a cosy snug, again with a wood burner, where you can curl up with a book or the dogs can get a bit of peace for an afternoon doze. The huge kitchen/diner is perfect for socialising, with a large table that comfortably sits everyone. Outside, the hounds will love exploring the fully enclosed garden whilst you relax with a glass of wine and take in the picture-perfect surroundings.

Just 1.5 miles away you’ll find Smoo Cave. The natural sea cave is quite spectacular, with a dramatic cascade inside that falls 25 metres into a deep pool below. You and the pups can explore the area on a circular walk from the car park. Balnakeil Beach is another site to behold, with its pristine white sand and beautiful sweeping bay. The woof-friendly beach is known for its jaw-dropping sunsets, so why not pack a supper and head down as the day is coming to a close?

Lovely cottage with stunning views. Loaded with amenities, comfy bed, 4 toilets all with shower facilities was a plus, spacious kitchen and dining. There was a welcome pack too with snacks and chocolates. Would love to visit again. Highly recommend to a big group. We were 8 adults and one kid, plenty room for everyone.

This is an outstandingly good house in all respects. It is spacious, well-furnished, comfortable, warm and extremely well-equipped. The extraordinary collection of books to read and games to play would be useful in bad weather. The location is ideal for all sorts of activities (coastal walks, cycling, golfing, surfing, zipwire riding) and places toRead more visit, and it is little more than a 6 or 7 minute walk over the fields to the magnificent Sango beach, or in the other direction to the Smoo Cave.
