About this house rental
Step into a piece of Caithness history
The Old School House at Killimster has been sympathetically restored to keep its character while adding every modern comfort: high ceilings, period fireplaces, a sweeping staircase and galleried landing, and tall windows that flood the rooms with northern light. It's the kind of place that feels special the moment you step through the door — not another standard holiday let.
The space

Stunning modern kitchen/diner — induction hob, double oven, dishwasher, washing machine, fully stocked for home cooking
Cosy lounge with bay windows and fireplace
Walled garden and large private plot — room to relax and to park

Fast broadband ([XX] Mbps) — fine for remote work
Linen, towels and toiletries all provided
Keybox self check-in — any time, day or night
Room to breathe, right on the NC500
A peaceful rural setting at Killimster: dark skies and the Northern Lights on clear winter nights, space to park a convoy of bikes or a team's work vehicles — yet only four miles to Wick for Tesco, restaurants, Old Pulteney Distillery, the train and the airport.
