Do you want to explore the North Coast 500 and visit John o’Groats? Have you always wanted to stay in a Lighthouse cottage?

The Lighthouse Keeper’s cottage is a light and cosy hideaway, set on a headland with sea on three sides – you can see Orkney from the garden and a ruined castle out of the kitchen window. It’s perfect for a quiet romantic getaway, or for family adventures with the kids. Your dogs are welcome too.

The cottage sleeps up to six people and, with adult beds in all three bedrooms, it offers flexible accommodation for families and groups.

Our well-equipped kitchen is great for cooking, and our family/dining room has a large table, perfect for meals or board-games. Our cosy living room has a Smart TV and DVD player, with loads of family-favourite DVDs if the weather is bad outside.

All three bedrooms have 100% organic cotton bedding. The main bedroom has a super-king bed, and the twin beds and bunks are all adult-sized too. We have one family bathroom with a toilet, basin and extra-large shower.

Our guests love the views, taking the dog on the big open beaches, and spotting birds and seals from the clifftop walks.

Local attractions and activities include:

• Castles – Dunrobin Castle, the Castle of Mey, and ruined Castle Sinclair Girnigoe

• Distilleries – Old Pultney, 8 Doors at John o’Groats, Wolfburn, Rock Rose

• Heritage Centres – Vintage motors in Halkirk, and museums in Wick and Thurso
