Fabulous cottage, with an amazing vista of the Kyle and ample parking. So peaceful and relaxing, yet within easy reach of other beautiful, beaches, bays and places of interest. Durness itself has a well stocked shop and 24 hour fuel if required. Cape wrath, Smoo cave and cocoa mountain are all just minutes away.

The most beautiful location in northern Scotland! That’s what a local tour guide said to us of Shore Cottage’s location and he was absolutely correct. A wonderful place with views that make your heart ache and sing! All home comforts in the cottage and a good location for local amenities and touring the north of Scotland. We loved our stay and were sad to leave the view behind!

It’s the 3rd time we’ve had the pleasure of spending a week at Shore Cottage. The Cottage is wonderful with everything that you would require, and the views are spectacular. A big thanks to Gillie & David for giving us the opportunity to stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

Shore Cottage is a fantastic place to stay. The cottage is very clean and well equipped. The location is a real bonus as you can walk around the coastline from the door and watching the ever changing view out the front of the property is mesmerising whatever the weather. We have already booked to return.

10.0 / 10.0

A most stunning position. The weather at the start of our week was not great, however, the view of the loch and the mountains from the main window, are constantly changing colours and moods. Shore Cottage is SO quiet. We found the NC500 did not disturb us in the slightest as it is going on for half a mile away and the house is near the end of a dead end.

10.0 / 10.0

Another excellent week at one of the most beautifully located cottages in the north-west of Scotland. The weather didn't always play ball, but the light was amazing and ever-changing. Great walks to be had in the area, and amazing wildlife. On this trip we saw an otter in front of the cottage four times during the week. Back next year........

We fell in love with the area a few years ago. To have such an amazing cottage to stay in, during our vacation is very nice. It is clean, large and has everything you might need. Thank you!

Super location and accommodation. Very clean with great showers and very comfortable beds. Beautiful views of the sea and hills. Highly recommended.

As we turned the corner of the road and spotted the cottage across The Kyle of Durness, we all let out a gasp of amazement. From that moment on, it did not let us down. Spotlessly clean and had everything you would need and more. We watched the otters play in the evening and were blessed with a night of watching the Northern Lights dance. The ever-changing view from the window was just exceptional and morning coffee while watching it was my favourite part of the day. Durness has loads to offer and the beaches are incredible. We would highly recommend Shore Cottage and both Gillie and Lin were helpful and friendly. We cannot wait to return.

10.0 / 10.0

This is a stunning property, designed to take in the beautiful, uninterrupted and ever-changing view across the Kyle of Durness. The cottage is modern, well-equipped and very clean and well-maintained. We were lucky with gorgeous weather but this wouldalso be a lovely place to light the wood burner and 'hunker down' in bad weather

Rest east in a modern comfortable clean property with outstanding location and views over the bay. Easy vehicle access to local store and all the amenities of Durness. Plenty of walks and places to visit, wild swimming from gorgeous beaches.

Our 2nd visit to Shore Cottage was as enjoyable and relaxing as our first. More heavy winds at the start of the week - exactly as forecast but plenty of calm and sunshine for the remainder and water like glass when we left. This cottage is a gem and area of Scotland amazing if you can make the effort to head this far north. We will be back again!

10.0 / 10.0

The cottage overlooks the ever changing environment of the Kyle of Durness, an area we had not visited before. The cottage was very comfortable and suited our requirements for a holiday home. We liked its location and spent quite some time walking on local beaches as well as in the vicinity of the cottage. We had some good wildlife encounters including otter, golden eagle and several other bird species. We met our host Gillie several times and found her local knowledge very interesting. We would hope to return.

Words are hard to describe our experience here ...it was the second leg of our 36 yr anniversary and my 60th birthday celebrations..we only wish we had booked here for both weeks rather than one..comfortable place amazing views ... the window spans almost the front of the cottage the side windows also amazing views ...sitting watching the tides change the sand banks materialise... the ocean coming in was just perfect ...and the sky at night was the clearest id seen since i was a child.... big huge sparkling sky full of stars we had contact with the owner who was so very nice and helpful... and lyn and bob the caretakers couldn't do enough no questions too much trouble .....we are already looking to stay again ... the area is stunning and something for everyone who likes the scottish experience ... ..

This was our third visit to Shore Cottage. It has an unbeatable location, with great views out of the massive windows directly south over the Kyle of Durness, and the mountains beyond. We had viewings of an otter, great skuas, arctic skuas, and much more besides. Highly recommended!

We frequently stay at Shore Cottage because we love the location. The new owner Gillie is friendly and massively knowledgeable on the area and introduced us to even more things... thankyou. The property is now need of a little spruce up and Gillie has plans to do this along with her new housekeeper. We look forward to seeing the improvements when we return. Definitely recommend Shore Cottage and will be able to highly recommend when a couple of the things that have worn out / decorated/ need replacing are complete. Thank you for yet another great stay.

Everything was perfect, we had nice rooms and a good kitchen with a wonderful view.

10.0 / 10.0

The Shore Cottage has some of the most magnificent and peaceful views of the Kyle. The views are directly out to the water from the main living room and main bedroom where you can see for miles across the Kyle and surrounding mountains. The pictures in the listing don't even come close to doing this justice. The cottage itself is a wonderfully staged 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home with a vaulted style living room and kitchen. The kitchen has everything you need to cook either simple or gourmet meals and is very well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, even a hand mixer. The bedrooms are very spacious and the beds are super comfortable. One bathroom has a large standing shower and the other a wide and deep large soaking tub. Which is wonderful after hiking the surrounding area. The cottage is ideally situated for everything you want to do in Durness. The Cape Wrath Ferry is literally walking distance from the cottage if you want to take to a trip over to Cape Wrath. Thank you Gillian for the most wonderful and memorable stay in your beautiful cottage. We will be returning as often as possible - Stunning!

Fantastic cottage in superb location. Despite visiting in the worst of weather, the cottage was very cosy - actually had to turn the underfloor heating down. Ideal base for touring the northern highlands, walking locally from the cottage or just lounging back and enjoying the view.

10.0 / 10.0

Unfortunately the property we had booked had an issue with the heating and it was not possible to stay there. The owner immediately made another property available for us which was actually an upgrade as it was a much bigger property. We had an amazing stay thanks to the owner.

Second time at Shore Cottage and still as lovely as ever. Views over the Kyle never disappoint. Probably best location in Durness, easy walking from the front door, shop 2 miles away well stocked, Smoo Cave Hotel good food and real ale 10 minutes in the car and ferry to Cape Wrath 400 metres. We have stayed summer and early spring and can say any season will bring you great views from the lounge regardless of the weather. Lovely.

10.0 / 10.0

The Cottage was excellent in every way, and the views were magnificent. It is well equipped and is close to all the major attractions. You have fishing, coastal walks and access to Cape Wrath within walking distance, to mention just a few. Gillie & Marta are quick to respond to any questions you might ask. I would also recommend visiting the Meet & Eat Cafe at Balnakeil Craft Village, and Balnkeil Beach is amazing. We will definitely be returning.

Lots of pleasant walks around, the tidal movements of the loch are very appeasing …quietness… I recommend the visit of Lotte Glob ceramics, another sort of paradise, the walk to balnakeil beach, and and beautiful surprise if you go up the dune…and we met friendly people, Scottish and Polish and other ones…

A spacious, comfortable & very well equipped house. Confused with the photos at first because they were mixing 2 properties. Need to read the caption. Otherwise all fine. Short drive to Durness and nice coastal walk from the house to cape wrath ferry towards golf course. Great stay.
