    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.

    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.

    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.

    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........

    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.

    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!

    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.
