About this cottage rental

Kips Cottage is a rustic former bothy, with very few mod cons, other than amazing views and copious hot water. If you love going back in time and feeling like you are living on the edge of the world, it will be perfect for you. If you are looking for something even vaguely modern, Kips Cottage may not suit.

The cottage is situated in a stunning location just off the North Coast 500 in Sutherland. The cottage looks over the North Atlantic and is surrounded by hillside with fantastic views of the changing coastal scenery.

There is a spacious living area with 2 large sofas, a pine dining table and a wood-burning stove at one end. A charming double bedroom is accessed from the other end of the living space. Also on the ground floor is a basic kitchen, slightly like being on a boat, with a kitchen table and French doors out onto the decked area outside. The kitchen has an electric oven and a butler’s sink. Situated off the kitchen is a charmingly ramshackle bathroom with bath and basin and lavatory.

There is plenty of parking and a garden to explore.

Let Saturday to Saturday June, July & August. Other changeover days OK in other months. Thanks.

We were looking to disconnect from the worries of the world, to slow down our lives, and to still our hearts and minds. The cottage was the perfect place for this, and was exactly as advertised. We took a daily hike/walk at different nearby beaches, parks, or forests. We mostly prepared our own food (2 meals in Bettyhill), and we reveled in the quiet.

Lovely position. Plenty of hot water. 3piece suite in very poor condition, inadequately covered by blankets. Lot of dog hairs on rug in lounge. Fireplace in bedroom very dusty. Wooden draining board unhygienic, we covered with a glass chopping board. Bath taps held in place by bits of wood. Loved having cuckoo singing at the front of the house.
