Rowan Cottage is a relaxing and cosy one bedroom hideaway on the NC500, in a tranquil countryside location only a short drive to the town of Thurso. 10 minutes to beaches, forests, Dunnet Head - and incredible night skies and auroras from the doorstep!
Outside there is a private garden, parking area and decking with stunning open views to Orkney.
Perfect for couples and those looking for a peaceful retreat, but can sleep up to 4. Dogs are welcome, and yes they will love it!!
I'm Alex, I live in the stunning Far North of the Scottish Highlands and love to share my passion for this unique and ruggedly beautiful area with others. Enjoying the great outdoors with my border collies and horses is my favorite thing to do, and having grown up here I am always happy to advise on the many wonderful sights to see and places to explore!
