About this property

The Captains - Nautical themed traditional crofters cottage

A cosy two bedroom cottage for up to four guests in Bettyhill on the beautiful North Coast of Scotland. Located right on the popular NC500 tourist route, the cottage offers a view of the spectacular scenery and empty beaches right from the front door and is in an ideal central location along the north coast to explore right out to Durness in the west and John O'Groats in the east. Get away from it all, enjoy the scenery, the wildlife and gentle pace of life.
The space
This traditional Scottish crofters cottage overlooks the beautiful River Naver, Torrisdale Beach and the sea. Known as The Captains, the stone cottage combines all the benefits of modern specifications with a charming nautical, seaside theme. It has a well-equipped fitted kitchen, shower room, double bedroom, twin bedroom, off road parking and hillside garden, and is complete with TV, DVD player, games, Wi-Fi and EV charger.
Guest access
The cottage sits on the A836 road, making up part of the NC500, so is easy to find and access at the end of a long journey. There is off-road parking with EV charger, and easy, level access to the front door. At the south end of the cottage there is a small lawn which is an ideal location for watching the wildlife over in the river or a good place for a morning cup of coffee or a picnic on a sunny day. Behind the cottage is a steep hillside garden, accessed by steps at either end of the cottage, which guests are welcome to enjoy. The property is fenced so it is clear where it ends.

Pleasant stay

I enjoyed staying there. It's in a quiet area just as you leave the village. No problems at all.

Lovely little cottage

Cottage was perfect when we approached and went through the door , we moved the wicker basket to use it as a coffee table as it had glass on top of it , underneath there was lots of dead beasties , dread to think what the bottom of the basket was like , I swept them up and carried on , to realise we could not lock the door from the inside so had to leave it unlocked , apart from that it’s a lovely little place for a night or 2
