Welcome to Curlew Cottage
Set amidst quiet countryside with an attractive garden, Curlew Cottage enjoys superb views across Caithness to the distant mountains of Morven and Ben Hope.
This self catering cottage is open all year and sleeps four, in two bedrooms - one double, one twin. We also have a folding 'Z-bed' which is suitable for an additional child. Prices range from £270 to £440 per week.
The cottage has a tourist board grading of 4 stars.
Guests are always delighted with the comfortable, well-equipped cottage which is an excellent centre for exploring the Far North and for day trips to Orkney. The cottage is four miles (ten minutes drive) from Thurso, 20 miles from John O Groats and 15 miles from the Castle of Mey. The sands of Dunnet Bay and the cliffs of Dunnet Head, mainland Britain's most northerly point, are near.
Unspoilt Highland landscapes, sandy beaches, ancient cairns, three golf-courses, salmon and trout fishing are all nearby. The area is rich in wildlife; seals, otters and deer are common. A very wide range of birds can be seen including ospreys and many raptors, larks sing and snipe drum overhead while the sea-bird city of Duncansby Head is just 30 minutes drive away. There, and at Dunnet Head, you may see puffins as well as kittiwakes, guillimots, fulmars and skuas.
