About this property
2 bedroom accommodation in North Keiss, Caithness
Detached cottage nestled into open countryside yet just a stone’s throw from the sea and Keiss harbour.. All on the Ground Floor:
Living room: Freeview TV, DVD Player, DAB Radio, CD Player, Woodburner, Pastio Doors Leading To Garden
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Oven, Ceramic Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washing Machine
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
Wet Room: Shower, Toilet, Grab Rail, Shower Seat. Oil central heating, electricity (solar panels Apr-Sep), bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Logs for the wood burner can be purchased locally (coal not to be used). Cot and highchair available. Telephone - for incoming and emergency calls only. . Large garden with patio area. Electric car charging point. Off road parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Nestled into the countryside surrounded by its own generous gardens and just a stone’s throw from the sea, Curlew Croft is a lovely farmhouse that has been extended and upgraded in recent years. Situated at the end of a short track in an elevated position overlooking the spectacular Sinclair Bay it offers bright, modern and well-equipped accommodation for four in a very quiet but accessible location. The new extension comprises the main open-plan living area. The spacious lounge has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the stunning seascapes through the large picture windows. A modern wood-burning stove acts as a warm and welcoming focal point. A good-sized kitchen / dining area adjoins. There are two attractively presented double bedrooms and a modern family shower-room. The majority of the electricity is provided by solar panels between the months of April and September in an effort to reduce the carbon emissions from the house as much as possible.
Just a short walk from the cottage lies Keiss harbour, the old castle and a 3 mile long beach. This charming backwater seems untouched by time and there are lovely walks around the headland and along the coastline direct from the property.
Free WiFi
Only dogs allowed at the property.
