Fabulous, comfortable, spacious property with incredible views from every room. Quiet base for exploring the coast with easy access (using park and ride) to Edinburgh.

Our family of 5 had a fantastic time. The house was lovely and spacious with fantastic views. The kids loved the surrounding countryside and playing on the hills and the hot tub was a nice treat.

We loved the space and layout in the property and it worked well for 2 families with 3 children. Location was off the beaten track but worked for us. Phone reception was patchy and we collected our takeaway as they dont deliver. . The beaches were within easy reach and were all amazing. Owner was very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely holiday.

Conundrum Farm - EX5 3AQ
about 19 Miles
With easy access from the A1 this lovely farm just north of Berwick makes a fantastic family day out.  Follow the farm trail and meet an array of friendly farm animals.  Kids will also enjoy the indoor and outdoor play areas, pet barn and tractor circuit.  The admission fee is excellent value and you will get a free bag of food for the animals and a bag of fish food for the trouts in the fish pond. When you want a bite to eat, the licensed restaurant is the place to go with quality home cooking and a charming location in some of the converted farm buildings.
Smoo Cave - IV27 4QB
about 27 Miles
Smoo Cave is a popular attraction which can be enjoyed all year round but visitors should wrap up warm during the winter months.  This spectacular limestone sea-cave in Sutherland is the largest in Britain and is simply spectacular. The cave was formed by a burn that runs down into the rear chamber, as well as erosion caused by the sea. Guests can take the path from the car park which runs right through the cave. Boat trips are available in the summer months and are an excellent way to fully appreciate the cave from all angles.
