Victorian Schoolhouse nc500 3 Bed Parking
A beautifully restored Victorian schoolhouse on a large private plot, four miles from Wick — a characterful, light-filled base for the NC500, the far-north coast and the Orkney Islands. Three double bedrooms (sleeps 6), a stunning modern kitchen, a cosy lounge with bay windows, and a walled garden with generous parking for vans, motorbikes, bikes and cars. Keybox self check-in — arrive whenever suits.
Step into a piece of Caithness history The Old School House at Killimster has been sympathetically restored to keep its character while adding every modern comfort: high ceilings, period fireplaces, a sweeping staircase and galleried landing, and tall windows that flood the rooms with northern light. It's the kind of place that feels special the moment you step through the door — not another standard holiday let.

Room to breathe, right on the NC500 A peaceful rural setting at Killimster: dark skies and the Northern Lights on clear winter nights, space to park a convoy of bikes or a team's work vehicles — yet only four miles to Wick for Tesco, restaurants, Old Pulteney Distillery, the train and the airport.
