Best spot in the best place

The house is simply amazing, the place left us speechless. We arrived late in the evening, it was completely dark a part from the house that was warm with lights on. (We got scared by the hunted house nearby while out for a quick photoshoot in the night but this is what it’s supposed to do). You’ll find everything you need in the house, fast WiFi, extra warm blankets for the cold season. We woke up the next morning discovering the stunning surroundings in the sunrise light. I would definitely recommend a stay if staying or just driving by Durness. We are definitely looking for a longer stay maybe in spring or summer.

Perfect for an overnight stop

Our ferry got delayed from the Orkney because of the storm. I let the host know that we'd be arriving about 10pm and right away he said he'll prepare some food for us and I really appreciated it. I noticed the damp smell but I was expecting that as I see in other reviews but we were only staying for a night so it wasn't an issue. I also see people said that they didnt like it amd the property is next to haunted house but I'm loving it! How many times do you go on a trip and could tell people you stayed next to a huanted house? I've travelled the world and this is going to be the first time EVER! The property was clean, the instruction that we were given was cleared. It's well worth the money.

The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay😊

We had a wonderful stay! The house is cozy and has everything you need inside — from kitchen essentials to comfortable furniture and thoughtful details. It really felt like a home away from home!

There was not hot water in the shower

Good location for a stop on NC500

Nice comfortable place with all you needed for an overnight stay.

Was very hot inside & couldn’t turn heating down, ended up having window open. Strange location opposite a mechanics yard.

An enjoyable evening at the end of the season.short walk to the pub and shops and a lovely warm cottage

Great value for the size and location. Just a short walk from Durness’ bars and shops. Next door to the world famous haunted house and chocolate mountain. Brilliant.

Excellent value for money and everyone we spoke to was very friendly.

The location was interesting, great value, beds were very comfortable and we got to see the Milky Way as the sky's are so clear!

Nothing really after getting over the shock of a Halloween venue next door!

This place is a lot of fun. It is located in an Arts precint with plenty of character.

Phillip made the keys available upon arrival. Early evening he dropped by to see if we needed anything and if everything was in order. Despite loosing the heating, Phillip had made alternative heating available for us which perfect.

Convenient for travelling through for NC 500

After hotel rooms and B&B, it was nice to be able to spread out in the wee house. The heating wasn't working, but the place was warm enough with panel heaters.

The water pressure for the shower was poor.

Unique, cozy and comfortable cottage

Lovely cozy cottage located in the craft village of Durness. Excellent hosts who were able to accommodate me for an additional night during Storm Amy. Located next door to the Durness Haunted House so a skeleton for a neighbour is quite unique.

Not for us

It was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Location was questionable and the exterior was not to our taste. The haunted house next door and the scrap yard certainly made it a memorable stay! Low shower pressure.

9.0 / 10.0

A very comfortable place to stay while exploring this interesting part of the top of Scotland.

We stayed at various locations during our NC 500 trip and this was by far my favourite. The house felt welcoming and homely,was very well equipped and decorated in a quirky style which I liked very much. It was clean and very comfortable,particularly the beds. The kitchen had all that is needed and everything was easy to use.

We have no complaints at all about this property.(maybe apart from the fact that we are both in our 70's and one of us has difficulty getting up out of low chairs ! Perhaps one higher chair in the living room ?

We enjoyed our night in this property, the bed was so comfortable and the house had everything you needed. Wild rabbits

It was very clean, comfortable and had quirky decor. It had everything you would need.

It was in an odd place, almost like an industrial estate so not very pretty to look at.

10.0 / 10.0

Comfortable stay

Spacious house, comfortable and cosy. Fully equipped kitchen and nice sitting room. Located inside the wee craft village!

The view directly outside is not very nice.

4.0 / 10.0

Very disappointed because with a little effort this could be a wonderful place to stay but seems like too much effort.

The location was fantastic and the house would be excellent if it was clean

There had clearly been dogs staying before us and we couldn’t sit in the lounge due to the disgusting taste and smell of dogs

6.0 / 10.0

Not bad. There’s slim pickings for accommodation in the sweet town, so not sure what I’m comparing it to for rentals. we

The place was a decent size for the four of us. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The town was so fun. The bunnies in the yard were so fun to watch.

We quickly discovered our socks got filthy from the floors, even though when we arrived, we could see and smell they’d just been washed. We had to carefully plan our showers with four of us to avoid ice cold showers. Kitchen could have used some more cooking supplies. I was so allergic the whole time I was there and wondered if dogs lived there normally. Pics online don’t show you’re next door to a rundown haunted house and junkyard of sorts across the street.

8.0 / 10.0

In a word Quirky

Yes when you first arrive it looks like you are entering a scrapyard and you think oh heck . Whilst reading up on the history of the village this is all in keeping with the vibe of the place .On entering the property it’s clean and tidy with everything you could want though . We would gladly stop here again and I can’t say fairer than that.

A plug in the bathroom sink would help .

8.0 / 10.0

A lovely place to stay

The area around is just amazing. The house looks a bit grim on the outside but is much better indoors. It is cosy and comfortable and surprisingly spacious. The place is a part of the history of the area. I'm glad we chose it to stay.

Two of the doors stick on the floor. (I'd guess the tiles on the floor are new). Outside the house across the way is untidy but it doesn't matter.

It was very clean, comfy and just what we needed after a long ride on motorbikes to chill and relax. The owner was very welcoming

6.0 / 10.0

Good space, nice to experience nature with the rabbit family out the window.

Plenty of room for a family

To me this property had a smell of a dog, which makes sense as digs are allowed. As a dog owner I didn’t mind to much however an air freshener would have made the place feel less stuffy.

9.0 / 10.0

Quirky but nice

A quirky, spacious home including a separate lounge, a dining room, well -equipped kitchen, laundry with a washing machine and a dryer, two bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower over bath, with plenty of hot water and 3 adjustable pressures. It was very quiet, with garden views from several windows (including cute rabbits keeping the grass down for free). Parking was just a few steps away.

The bed was a bit soft and bowed in the middle. The area around looks a bit the worst for wear, but the craft stores were interesting and everyone was friendly.

Perfectly comfortable stop on the NC500

Very clean, warm and comfortable. Contained everything you needed for a one night stay. Like the other reviews have mentioned just ignore the front of the house. You can’t fault the inside.

Comfortable stay in cottage near Durness

A comfortable, well equipped self contained cottage close to the beach and a craft village in which there is an excellent chocolate making business /coffee cafe. A quiet location, comfortable bed, very helpful host. The host offers other products and services such as art, hair cuts and massage. I had an excellent shoulder massage done in our cottage. We enjoyed watching the rabbits in the garden.

There is no television available but the host supplies many DVDs that can be played on the television set.

7.0 / 10.0

Basic accommodation, clean and tidy.

Just a simple basic place to stay, originally booked for 3 but then reduced to 1 couple, if there’s 3 or 4 it’s a bargain. For 2 people not quite so. However couldn’t complain about anything, the host left everything you needed. Theres a Spar just up the road for all your needs, and a chocolatier on the site for hot drinks, croissants etc. easy enough to find on a kind of craft site.

The location is not what we expected, opposite a junk yard, a derelict haunted house themed building and a garage..it’s a bit weird… and not very pretty, but once you’ve shut the doors it’s fine, very basic but clean and has everything you need.

Gem of a place near Durness

This clean and cosy cottage was perfect on our NC500 stopover at Durness ! It had everything we needed, including tea, coffee, milk, porridge and was in a quiet spot, about 10 minutes stroll to Balnakeil Beach ( stunning) and minutes from Loch Croispol and another Loch a bit further away on a beautiful hike. Would definitely recommend!

2.0 / 10.0

Would have cancelled had we known, do not recommend this place.

Not a lot

Window furniture missing or broken, making the property insecure. Frayed bathroom mat. Property smelt of damp. Bed linen rough, and smelt musty. Dirty utility room, with outside door unable to open, due to electric cable running underneath it. Interior doors needed planing to shut or open fully. Food left in the freezer.

7.0 / 10.0

Convenient, quirky stay on NC500 route.

Availability near NC500. Quiet, warm, cosy. Quirky decoration. Lovely walk to the picturesque beach. Wi-Fi available when we hadn’t expected it.

Uncomfortable single bed, and no mirror in twin bed room. No washing up bowl, no plug in bathroom sink.

Don't judge a book by its cover!!

The inside space was amazing, it was great to have chance to lounge about or sit at a table to eat after a few days of staying in smaller accommodations. Everything we needed was there including a washing machine and tumble dryer.

As the title says definitely don't judge this place by its outside appearance! Look beyond the Haunted House and neighbouring properties and you've found a gem!

The accommodation has everything you need for your stay…..

Due to unforeseen circumstances I needed to gift this booking to my sister. Her experience here, was with mixed emotion. She felt you needed to be very open minded about the proximity of the haunted house as this feature might not be to everyone’s taste. The hosts have ensured however that the accommodation itself is very well presented and has everything you need for your stay. The geographical location allowed for quick access to the breathtakingly beautiful beaches.

The setting has an unease about it (but this was just a personal feeling)
