Beautiful North Sea View
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.

Lovely stay
The property was extremely well equipped and a basket of treats, fresh coffee and cleaning equipment were provided. Excellent position and stunning views from front windows. The top of the stairs is very near to the bedroom door so care required when coming out of bedroom. Highly recommend.

Fabulous spacious cottage in a great location
We have just spent two days in this fabulous cottage to explore the NC500 without the stress of bringing our motorhomes up this far. (The A roads can be a bit challenging up here as some parts are single track) The cottage was spotlessly clean, spacious and cosy and also dog friendly. There were 4 adults and 2 dogs in our party. It had everything you could want or need. It is situated overlooking the coast near Tongue. It’s a mere 15 minute walk to Skinnet Beach ( very quiet and unspoilt and we saw seals) and the Craggen Hotel is a 5 minute walk serving hot meals. We cannot recommend this cottage enough. We will be sure to return. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay.

Perfect for exploring the NC500
Fantastically clean and spacious dog-friendly property. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to others. The nearby beach is beautiful and the house is close to a local shop, which was handy.
