Smithy House - Village Centre Stay near NC500
Smithy House is a character village house in a prime position just off the North Coast 500. When you arrive, you will appreciate the private parking and electric vehicle charger. Smithy House has recently been tastefully updated, including its comprehensively equipped kitchen and it’s all there to give you the best possible accommodation.
Because we always try to exceed your expectations, you will love how fast the Wi-Fi is in Smithy House. Character, comfort, and connected when you need it.
When relaxing in the sunroom you will have a beautiful panoramic view across the Kyle of Tongue, with Castle Varrich and the Causeway adding to the breath-taking scenery.
There is a small store for essentials a few steps away and the closest restaurant is next door.
The nearest beach is Coldbackie Beach and is only about five minutes drive away.
The dramatic landscape is home to several lochs as well as the impressive Ben Loyal and Ben Hope mountains. Smoo Cave, Cape Wrath and Castle of Mey are some of the spectacular places to drive to, or perhaps go on a longer adventure with a day trip to the Orkney Islands from John O’Groats.
Its proximity to the NC500 makes Smithy House a compelling choice for anyone planning to travel the famous route who is looking for well situated stops that add to the experience. If you are an EV driver then the added benefit of the house’s free dedicated charger could make this destination a key part of your journey.

A very well equipped and lovely cottage in a beautiful location in a nice village with 2 hotels / restaurants and a very useful and well stocked post office and shop.
Some new and good furniture in the cottage, just needed some coasters and place mats.
