Need a relaxing break and a refuge from city life? Or family adventures with the kids? Or somewhere unique for a big birthday? The Lighthouse Keeper’s cottage is a light and cosy hideaway, set on a headland with sea on three sides – you can even see a ruined castle out of the kitchen window!
I fell in love with the Lighthouse and then with Caithness, when I first came here in 2017. I wanted to help others discover this unique place and make a real contribution to the community and people who live here. Joy, Kim and Steph make sure the Cottage is a light and cosy home from home, and it’s the perfect base to explore this little-known part of Scotland. Our guests love staying here, at the edge of nowhere!
CAITHNESS IS ONE OF SCOTLAND'S HIDDEN GEMS - There's John o'Groats of course, but you'll love the walks and views, with the chance to walk to deserted ruined castles, take the dog for a run on our huge open beaches, and take the kids to visit reindeer or learn body boarding. And it wouldn't be Scotland if we didn't have half a dozen distilleries with tastings and tours.
