Firthview Holiday Cottage is a tastfully renovated traditional family cottage in a fantastic location on the North Coast of Scotland, only 3 miles from John O' Groats, overlooking the Pentland Firth, the Island of Stroma and the Orkneys.
The cottage is ideal base to explore the local area which has something for everyone.

The cottage itself is part of a traditional highland croft steading situated in its own secluded grounds 700m from both the nearest road and house, serviced by its own drive.
The cottage was originally a three-roomed house with stone walls two foot thick and has seen the addition of two small but necessary additions over-time, a separate bathroom and a kitchen!

Thus the cottage now has a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and two generous bedrooms, a double and a twin.
All centrally heated and double glazed, so nice and cosy should you wish to holiday in the cooler months.

• Kitchen: Includes electric cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer, kettle, toaster, washing machine and a sea view from the kitchen sink to make washing up a pleasure!
  
  
• Lounge: Comfortable sofas and dinning area with Freeview television.
  Fully compiled information folders for local attractions and comprehensive local dining guide with sample menus.
  
  
• Bedroom 1: Spacious double bedroom with great views over the surrounding countryside.
  
  
• Bedroom 2: Twin bedroom.
  
  
• Bathroom: Toilet, washbasin, bath and over-shower.
  
  
• The cottage is surrounded by gardens on three sides and a courtyard to the front.
  Spectacular views of the Pentland Firth, Orkneys and the uninhabited island of Stroma can be seen from the garden.
  
  
• BBQ and garden furniture.
  
  
• The steading out-buildings mean we have storage for equipment (bicycles, surfboards, fishing rods, golf clubs, etc.) available by arrangement.
  
  
• The two out-buildings are used by us in the running of our smallholding where we currently run a mixed flock of Jacob, North Country Cheviot, Mule and Shetland Sheep.
  The main usage of these buildings will be during the lambing season (March) and will be kept to a minimum at other times.
