Kyleview
5347 is no longer with usIf you were looking for cottages like Kyleview, how about trying these:
This cottage has fantastic views over fields of sheep and the tidal estuary of the Kyle of Durness. Set in its own tranquil garden, surrounded by dry-stone dykes (walls), the large lawned-area and the field behind are great for children and dogs to burn off excess energy.
Entry to the cottage is through the back door by the parking-area and takes you directly into the utility-room. Here you will find the washing machine and a bench ideal for removing your boots after a day walking on the hills or on the nearby beaches. Off the utility-area is a useful shower-room with WC and wash-basin. The well-equipped galley kitchen, complete with range cooker, is a great place to pack a picnic for a day out on the beach. Enter the sitting/dining-room with a large window looking out over the Kyle. The comfy sofa and open fire are ideal for a cosy evening relaxing in front of the TV or to gather around the table and plan tomorrow's adventures. The bedrooms and a second shower-room lead off the inner hallway. One large double has lovely views over the water. The two singles will happily accommodate a small family or friends.
If you need supplies, we can highly recommend the locally owned Spar Grocery in Durness, a short drive away. This village shop is well stocked to provide everything you could possibly need or desire, from truffle mayonnaise to speciality pastas. The shop also delivers fresh meat and fish, and orders can be placed prior to arrival. Fresh oysters can be purchased from the oyster farm located in the Kyle. A visit to 'Cocoa Mountain', a gourmet chocolate shop and cafe, is usually a must for the younger generation.
Kyleview is located at the start of the Cape Wrath Experience and is a truly rural escape. This really is a little gem you will want to return to year after year!
