    A very cosy cabin. With a lovely view over the sea and of the ruin of Forse Castle. Great location for where we wanted to visit. The cabin had everything we needed for our long weekend away. Great restaurant called The Bay in nearby Dunbeath.

Lyndsay Mackay
A brand new Executive Chalet with stunning views overlooking the North Sea and Moray Coast. Overlooking historical Forse Castle, built some 800 years ago. Located on the NC500 route, 2 miles south of Lybster on the East coast. 15 miles south of Wick. 25 miles from Thurso.
Very quiet area with unrestricted views of the North Sea, Moray Coast and the local mountains: Morven, Scaraben and Maiden Pap. The Historical Forse Castle just 250 yards from the Chalet overlooking the beautiful Forse Shore. Whaligoe Steps, Camster Cairns and stunning local harbours are a must see.
