About this cottage rental

Cornhill is a traditional stone cottage situated in the village of Talmine on the west side of the Kyle of Tongue, Sutherland. That’s in the middle at the very top of Scotland! The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, and sleeps four adults (1 double, 1 twin). There is one bathroom, a well equipped kitchen with range cooker, and sitting room with SMART TV. It is a 10 minute walk from the beach, and just 200m from the village shop/post office which stocks a good range of fresh and frozen food, and other essentials. A further post office/shop is available in Tongue, approximately 5 miles away. NOTE: There is self service fuel available in Tongue, but there is no longer a bank.
Please note I very much value having personal communication with my guests. I am happy to answer any queries, and will endeavor to make your holiday amazing!

In the unlikely event that you should start to experience symptoms of COVID-19 during your stay it is essential that you return home, and inform me immediately so that measures can be taken to disinfect the property. Thank you.

My husband and I loved our 5-day stay in Talmine in Sarah and David's beautifully renovated cottage. The cottage has a fantastic view out over the sea and the most gorgeous sunrises right out the window. It has a fully equipped modern kitchen, a lovely sitting room, bath with tub and hand-held shower, and two large bedrooms on the top floor, a perfect spacious place for our vacation home base. The cottage is in the perfect location to explore the northern highlands. We walked a beautiful coastal path that started at Talmine and wound along the cliffs for about 4 miles, and we took other walks at Bettyhill, Loch Hakel, and Durness The village has a shop with basic groceries and some fresh produce. We were there very early in the season, and the local hotel was not open yet, so we couldn't eat there, but we had a nice dinner at the Tongue Hotel 15 minutes away and a great Scottish breakfast at Bettyhill about a half hour away. We ate most of our meals in the cottage. You need a vehicle because public transportation is not frequently available. We fell in love with Scotland's North Coast and hope to be back for a visit with Sarah and David soon.

Cosy and welcoming. Views amazing very close to a stunning beach. I personally would have liked a grab hold for getting in and out of the bath. Local shop very expensive. We had a wonderful stay.

8.0 / 10.0

Beautiful views from property, very remote location which was fine for us. Local shop 5 mins walk. And hotel/restaurant/bar 15mins drive. Cottage very cosy (small) fine for a couple and our dogs. WIFI excellent. For us not having a proper shower was a shame, but we managed. I will definitely be back to the north coast it was stunning.

A cosy little cottage with a lovely view, in a beautiful part of the world.

10.0 / 10.0

This cozy little cottage was the perfect getaway. I have always said when I retire I would like to find a little cottage in Northern Scotland overlooking the North Sea. Well, everthing about this little cottage and the surrounding area has definitely met all of my expectations of what it would be like to live in a cottage overlooking the North Sea in Northern Scotland. Relaxing and a simple way of life would be the perfect words. Thank you Sarah and hats off to the caretaker for making this stay perfect. Thanks Again, Darren.....

Lovely cottage with everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. The house was super clean and had great views across Talmine. Loved it.

5.0 / 10.0

What a place this is! Situated within stunning and dramatic landscape, a cottage that has everything you could want. The cottage is clean, tidy and traditional to the area with all necessary amenities and information including a well stocked shop just a few doors down. It has a relaxing feel to it with captivating views of the sea, cliffs and islands. If you're lucky, you can often see cows just wandering past the front door, minding their own business! Exploring the area is a must...we were amazed and excited to see seals, otters, red deer, golden eagle, dolphins, porpoises and the rare Scottish primrose!! Recommended places to go include Slettle, Durness, Skerray Bay, Borgie Forest, Smoo Cave, Castle Varrich and really just strolling and hiking across the stunning white sandy beaches and cliffs, all within walking distance from the cottage. This is the type of place that touches the soul and gets under your skin...you will never want to leave. Absolutely incredible and serene!

Very nice little cottage set at the back of the village so peaceful. Close to the village shop which is handy. Some nice local walks with no need to do much driving.Liked the Sandyford cooker which gave out warmth as well as did the cooking efficiently.The only thing missing was the internet which, even though we might want to get away from it all, is pretty essential for dealing with the day to day issues that inevitably arise.
