This is a lovely cottage; comfortable and well equipped, however, it wasn't as clean as it could have been. The fridge was particularly dirty.The views are amazing and it is close to Wick and John o' Groats. It's not as close to the beach as the information states; it's a good walk along a main A road.There were a couple of folders with lots of information about the birds and local area but I have never stayed in a place where I've been expected to replace all consumables I used and do the cleaning. I was a paying guest not the maid service!
