About this property
Lybster 2 miles. This lovely, well-presented detached cottage is situated in a quiet location with sea views, within a beautiful and remote part of Scotland, two miles from the village of Lybster. Rose Cottage is a fresh, bright and welcoming holiday retreat, a real 'get away from it all', where visitors will appreciate the unspoilt scenery with its rugged coastline. Ideal for a family, couples or friends, this immaculate and tastefully presented cottage has three generous bedrooms, a contemporary shower room and well-equipped kitchen. The sitting room with dining area has comfy settees and is a sociable room for relaxation at the end of an active day.
Double doors from the sitting room lead through to the sun room which is a lovely sunny area to enjoy the countryside views. A well-kept garden surrounds the cottage and is a great place to sit and soak up the views whilst enjoying a morning cup of tea. The village of Lybster is just two miles north and has good local services including pubs and shops. The harbour is central to Lybster which was once a busy fishing port and today boats still fish there for lobsters and crabs. Visitors will enjoy the quiet roads leading north and a drive to the top of the UK, where John o' Groats is a must.
Further along the coast is Dunnet Head with its famous lighthouse, marking the most northerly point of the Scottish mainland. This is also home to the RSPB's largest reserve in the UK, where you can see puffins, razorbills, guillemots and more! A vast unspoilt area to explore, but a fabulous cottage to return to at the end of a busy day. EPC Rating: Band C
