Kips Cottage in Bettyhill, Highland, Scotland is a rustic former bothy that sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms. The cottage offers amazing views and plenty of hot water, but lacks modern amenities. Situated in a stunning location off the North Coast 500 in Sutherland, Kips Cottage overlooks the North Atlantic and is surrounded by picturesque hillside scenery. The living area features a wood-burning stove, a sofa, and 2 armchairs, while a charming double bedroom and basic kitchen are also on the ground floor. The attic space has twin beds and is perfect for children, although headroom is limited.
The cottage has a charmingly ramshackle bathroom with a bath, basin, and lavatory. The kitchen, resembling a boat kitchen, includes an electric oven and a butler's sink, with French doors leading to a decked area outside. There is plenty of parking and a garden to explore, making it an ideal retreat for those who enjoy a simpler way of living. Kips Cottage is pet-friendly and located near the coast, offering guests a chance to experience the beauty of the Scottish countryside. The property is available for weekly rentals from June to August, with flexible changeover days in other months.
Located in Thurso, the cottage is in a rural area and by the sea, providing opportunities for outdoor activities such as surfing, fishing, cave exploring, and horse riding. Travelers interested in culture can visit nearby attractions like Strathnaver Museum, while nature enthusiasts can explore Farr Beach and Strathy Bay. Kips Cottage offers a unique and peaceful retreat for those looking to disconnect from modern life and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
