A stunningly located croft cottage overlooking a magnificent sandy bay with
panoramic sea views. Enjoy the romance and charm of this unforgettable holiday setting.
Durness, located on the north-western tip of Sutherland, is a thriving crofting community surrounded by magnificent mountains, a rugged coastline and wide
Sandy beaches. The landscape is majestic, remote and unchanged. Norsehaven
Cottages, a family business with a commitment to quality service and accommodation, offers a choice of three self-catering holiday homes.
Ceannabeinne Cottage sleeps 4 and is located high above a beautiful bay, overlooking a magnificent seascape (see above). The location, some three miles from Durness along the coast road, is considered to be one of the finest in Scotland. Rocky hills soar up behind the cottage and, in front, rugged cliffs plunge to the superb sandy bay far below. Originally a croft and barn, Ceannabeinne has been converted in harmony with its dramatic location to provide the unforgettable holiday setting. The cottage features a magnificent beamed sitting room with a natural stone wall above the open fire.
Wake up to sound of waves breaking on the shore below; stroll outside with your first cup of coffee and breathe in that refreshing sea air; then tuck into breakfast by the warmth of the AGA while you enjoy one of the best seascapes in Britain from your kitchen table. In the evening, dine in style beneath open timber beams in the huge sitting room, then gather round the glowing fire and treat yourself to a wee dram!
Ceannabeinne Cottage features a large master bedroom with a hand-made pine double bed, and twin divan beds at one end of the huge sitting room, sleeping 4 in all. The spacious pine bathroom has a bath, shower and WC. The kitchen, fitted with hand-made oak cupboards, features a Caithness slate floor, an oil fired AGA as well as an electric cooker, microwave, washer/dryer, fridge-freezer, coffee maker, and everything you will need in the way of utensils, pots, pans and dishes.
Ceannabeinne Cottage offers the warmth of full, oil fired central heating, and there
is a colour TV, a CD player, plenty of books and games, and a pay phone.
Visitors have plenty to do…superb hill and mountain walking, sea, salmon and trout fishing with many hill lochs; the magnificent, glorious sandy beaches of Sango, Balnakeil and Ceannabeinne; the unique Balnakeil craft village; the gift shops; the visitors centre; the spectacular golf course; the fishing port of Kinlochbervie; Cape Wrath lighthouse; Smoo Cave; and the spectacular cliffs of Faraid head.
