Fourpenny Cottages - Fourpenny Cottage

Fourpenny Cottage is a substantial stone building in Skelbo, a hamlet on the northeastern Highland coast. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms mean everyone gets their own shower room. Downstairs holds a kingsize bedroom, two single rooms and a living space; upstairs, another kingsize bedroom overlooks fields and the coastline beyond. The kitchen is fully fitted for self-catering, with electric cooking and all the essentials. Heating, electricity, wifi and linens are included; parking for four cars sits on the property.

The cottage stands within a mile of three different walks—the Fourpenny Woods, Coul Links dunes and Embo Sands—all quiet enough to feel like your own discovery. Dornoch, a few minutes' drive away, has restaurants, a beach and Royal Dornoch Golf Course if you're planning a golf break; nearby Tain, Golspie and Brora offer other courses. For a larger group wanting their own self-contained base without shared facilities, this works well. One well-behaved pet stays free. The property is non-smoking throughout.
