About the host

Hosted by Gillie Elliot

Host profile image
My husband David and I have been coming up to Durness for over 44 years so know the area pretty well. David's great grandfather came up here at the turn of the century to help break in the ground for sheep farming.
Balnakiel Farm was one of the original family farms. It has now been split into two and David now runs Rhigolter Farm. We live in Essex as he works as a Hand Surgeon in Southend.
Our two children have been coming up here each year and now bring our grandchildren who love it up here.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was a tumbledown shed for years on the roadside. Our friends Bernard and Irene Hendy bought the Cape Wrath Hotel in 2006. It was with great excitement we watched as they converted the Lodge into a magnificent house and Shore Cottage was rebuilt into this wonderful little oasis it is today. We are delighted to become the new owners.

What makes this property unique

As Shore and Kyleview Cottages come under the umbrella of Cape Wrath Lodge there is a resident housekeeper who lives in the Annexe flat at the rear of the Lodge. Her name is Marta and can easily be contacted with any problems or requests. Being so close to the shoreline otters can be seen playing in the evenings out of the huge windows. The ever changing tide constantly brings magnificent views and birdlife.
