Lovely, spacious, well equipped cottage with a beach at the end of the road. The location is very pretty and the village has a shop and a pub but there are more amenities in Tain which is a short drive away.

Another great stay at Rosslyn cottage. Very clean with comfy king size bed. It is situated in a peaceful setting with the sandy beach only 30 seconds away. You can even hear the waves from the cottage. Lovely coastal walks. Further North is Golspie and Brora. Great places to visit. Golspie has a cafe that has breakfast rolls all day and great coffee. All in all a very welcome, peaceful week away.
