About this property

John Naver's Cottage

Entering the house you walk into a sun porch with exposed stone walls which has lovely views over the garden, surrounding hills and estuary. The comfortable seating allows you to make the most of this room. Walk through into the open plan ground floor; to the right is the kitchen, dining and additional sitting area which has exposed beams, wood burning stove and Belfast sink finished with local Caithness flag stone. To the left is the lounge with comfortable seating, open fire, small library and television and DVD player.
The house has oil central heating. The stairs lead up from the lounge to the first floor, here the landing area contains a small DVD library and linen storage area, linen is included with this property. The bathroom contains a bath with independent shower above it. There is one spacious double bedroom and a further double bedroom with additional single bed.
Walk out the door and on to the beach - heaven for you and your dog, then come home to relax in the sun lounge. However it's also an ideal location for hill walkers, those with an interest in archaeology and or geology. The local museum provides a comprehensive insight into the past of the Highlands and archaeological finds in the area. Bettyhill has one shop and Post Office, a hotel, an Inn, and a cafe and a swimming pool. Locally sourced produce and sea food can be purchased and is also served in the local Hotels, which are dotted across the area.

We didn't stay long enough
What a great cottage! Alix was very accommodating and helpful while we got settled in. We were able to sample the cupboard cakes and they are highly recommended. We started every morning in the sun room with coffee and met several of the pea hens who were pretty entertaining. Great walk to the beach which we had all to ourselves. Our only complaint is that we didn't stay longer! Thank you again Alix!

Amazing!
This cottage was perfect for us! We enjoyed our time there very much. A lot of love and caring has gone into this home. It is very comfortable and relaxing. The location was perfect. The Croft with all the animals was entertaining. The host, Alix, was wonderful. She was always very responsive to our questions (though we tried not to bother her). Would love to return some day!
