This spectacular home is in an idyllic spot just 1.5 miles from the iconic John o’ Groats, setting you up for a memorable dog-friendly escape to Scotland’s rugged far north. Take your furry friend on stunning coastal walks, exploring nearby beauty spots like the sandy shores of Dunnet Bay (11 miles), where dogs are welcome all year round. This four-bed home sleeps up to eight guests, making it ideal for a holiday with extended family or with friends.
Inside, the one-storey cottage is spacious and welcoming, and beautifully decorated with quality furniture and plenty of natural materials. The lounge, with its wood burner and Smart TV, offers plenty of cosy space for everyone to relax together. Cook up group meals in the spacious kitchen-diner, which has a large dining table along with a breakfast bar and stools for perching. The four bedrooms are all stunning, starting with a super-king-size with an en-suite shower room. The hallway leads to two twin bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. The final, king-size, bedroom has its own en-suite shower room and opens out onto a lovely decking area – ideal for sipping your morning coffee (made in the coffee machine provided) to gear up for the day ahead. Your dogs will adore letting off steam in the enclosed garden, where they’ll have plenty of space to run around. The indulgent hot tub creates a perfect spot for you and fellow guests to unwind.
For walkies, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Thurso (17.5 miles) and Wick (16 miles) offer dog-friendly cafes and shops, while the nearby beaches and coastal paths are perfect for long walks. One fab thing to do is take a day trip to Orkney (20 miles) – just head to Gills Bay (1.5 miles) and board the ferry.
