"Excellent"

"What a wonderful stay in a beautiful, comfortable bungalow. Everything in the house was of a high standard and it was a splendid base from which we could explore the area on foot or by car. Mairi and Willie were delightful and attentive hosts. We appreciated being able to get super fresh prawns from Willie and having a well stocked shop literally across the road was really helpful. On two evenings we also had three red deer in the garden who departed when the cameras/ phones came out as we watched from the lounge! Comfortable, warm and plenty to do and see, in spite of not being able to get to Handa or Cape Wrath due to ferries being off but did the Sandwood Bay walk- a long wished for destination. Highly recommended .. and thank you"

"Lovely cottage, well equipped. Very comfortable, tranquil location. Excellent Laundy area. Amazing welcome package. Wi-Fi slow to even non-existent at times. The photos don't show that you have a house right in front of you (albeit part of the estate) and the beach is further away than expected."

"Great budget friendly stay"

"The Northern Lights cottage is perfectly located for exploring Scotland's central north coast. The cottage looks out over Talmine Bay, the Rabbit Islands, and the North Sea beyond. Skinnet Beach is just down the hill, a short walk away. The house is lovely with a large, well-equipped modern kitchen and two newly renovated baths, both with good showers. I would definitely stay here again."

"Was great to just chill out, never looked at my lap top, whisky, walked dog on great beach, just chilled out, property was ok, log fire, good for the soul"

"Great property"

"Property is conveniently situated with spectacular views overlooking Tongue bay. Orkney and on really clear day Shetland as well. Hosts are very welcoming and the welcome hamper is a nice touch (very good coffee). All in all a great time was had by ourselves."
