Post Office Cottage is a lovely holiday home situated in attractive countryside only ten minutes from Thurso and near to the coastline as well as sandy beaches. The cottage is set in a large plot with enclosed garden mainly laid to lawn, and there’s a great enclosed decking area. There’s a neighbouring RSPB reserve that welcomes many different species throughout the year. Some birds will visit the Post Office Cottage garden whilst you’re visiting, but the majority deserve a visit from you on the reserve. There are more wildlife spotting sites nearby that should be visited as well. Dunnet Head has puffin, gannet and many other colonies at different times of the year, and from cliff paths near to the cottage, you have an excellent chance of spotting whales and dolphins. The cottage, as well as being surrounded by a lovely garden and having a nearby RSPB reserve, the countryside in view is the owner’s 600-acre beef and sheep farm. There are few neighbours dotted around, but the sense of seclusion and privacy is palpable. Entering the cottage at the back door you will find the kitchen/dining room which is a great, large space with everything you’ll want and need on holiday. Through the kitchen/dining room there’s a large Jack and Jill bathroom leading to the hallway. The living room has brilliant views over the countryside and that all important, cosy wood burner. Post Office Cottage offers lovely, comfortable accommodation that you won’t want to leave during your stay. However, we urge you to do so as there are so many things to do and places to see. Thurso is only ten minutes away by car and a very historic place, having been a Norse settlement. There are layers of history to explore and nowadays it’s a great tourism hub with nice restaurants, bars and cafés. Along with Dunnet Head it also has world-class surfing beaches if you’re so inclined. Fishing is excellent nearby, the River Forss being only a short walk from the cottage and offering trout and salmon permits in season. The Thurso, Halladale and Helmsdale are also world renown rivers to secure permits for. Reay Golf Club is a short drive away and truly is a hidden gem to try. Green Fees are very reasonable indeed. The NC500 touring route will be a favourite of yours during your stay as it will lead you on adventures that you’ll remember forever. Post Office Cottage is a great base for those wanting to tour the far north of Scotland on day trips using the NC500. Post Office Cottage can be booked together with Ardbeg (UK5811) to accommodate up to 12 guests. Free WiFi A fishing licence is required. One or more beds can be linked to form double or twin beds (please advise the owner of your preference prior to arrival). ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the ocean - On a lake - On a river ### Things to do - Fishing ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102420000/102412000/102411955/45aa88d3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 bedroom accommodation in Thurso Thurso - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=102411955&PinnedHotelID=102411955&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92450000/92441100/92441004/beb58b6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 10 minutes from the local beach great surfing beach License Nr.HI-00282-F Thurso - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=92441004&PinnedHotelID=92441004&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116770000/116766400/116766391/d47f043d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Short Walk to the Beach - 2 Guests - Free Parking Thurso - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=116766391&PinnedHotelID=116766391&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules The guest will be charged 50% amount for a cancellation after the reservation is made. ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
