Cosy 1 Bedroom Highland Cottage

Watten, Highland

Located in Watten, Highland, Scotland, this quirky wee cottage known as Taigh Neonach offers a cosy getaway in the far north highlands. Originally a traditional Scottish but and ben, it has been renovated to provide modern conveniences such as free WiFi, USB charging points, smart televisions, and central heating. The open-plan layout includes a double bedroom, lounge/kitchen area with a wood-burning stove, and a shower room. The couch can be converted into a double sofa bed if needed, and there is a porch for enjoying the view.

The cottage is fully fenced with a spacious driveway and a back garden with a lawn and gravel area for a washing line. Situated just two miles from Watten village and seven miles from Wick town, it is an ideal base for exploring Caithness, Sutherland, or even a trip to Orkney. Various amenities are provided for guests' convenience, including tea, coffee, cooking essentials, and a washer/dryer with laundry capsules. Pets are welcome, but owners must keep them under control and clean up after them to prevent them from entering livestock fields.

For special occasions, guests can request additional services such as a starter pack with milk, butter, and cheese, or even a piper performance by the owners' son and daughter, who play with the local pipe band. The surrounding area offers natural beauty at Dunnet Bay Beach and Duncansby Stacks, as well as cultural attractions like Wick Heritage Centre and Caithness Horizons. With activities such as game walks and birdwatching, guests can enjoy a peaceful retreat by the sea while exploring the diverse landscapes and wildlife of the region.
