Cottage vacation rentals in Thurso

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful view of the beach and surrounding area. We got lucky and saw the northern lights! The place was super cozy. Loved the extra effort the hosts put in to make sure we had everything we needed, which included a dog bed, doggy treats and board games. The Christmas tree and bottle of Prosecco were a much appreciated bonus. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends.

This is a really unique stay and I spent a good part of my time there looking out at sea wondering when I would next be able to come back. So that should tell you how much I liked it! It’s at a lighthouse, so as you would expect, it’s at the end of a long road (which is very bumpy in places!). Then you get to the cosy house, with a wood fire, and well stocked kitchen with welcome treats. Alan is very friendly as are the dogs and the chickens! My child loved feeding them every morning. The fresh farm eggs were such a treat. Cantick Head itself is stunning and we loved being in the hot tub and sauna. Note to other guests- all these are wood powered so stock up on firewood before you arrive (you can buy bags at the shop next to the Lyness ferry). My mum took one of the bikes out and we all enjoyed walking the coastline. This is a special stay, don’t hesitate to book!

Probably the best Christmas we have had for a while. All the stress taken out of it by the hosts, the house was beautifully decorated for the season, two wrapped presents and a hamper of goodies. We felt thoroughly spoilt! The cabin is exquisite and we would love to come back. It was wonderful for the dogs too, completely fenced in around the cabin so no fears of escapees! We loved everything about it!!

Had an amazing time ! Can’t recommend this beautiful place enough ! Amazing views ! Jacuzzi was incredible ! Loved every minute !

Every year we pick a new location in Scotland to celebrate my brother's birthday, and this one was one of our favorites so far. The host left many nice touches around the house, including a bottle of Prosecco, as well as some treats for our dog. The location was perfect for us (30 minutes from the Orkney ferry, walking distance from town center, and near some beautiful locations for short walks). Would definitely book this place again.

Stunning location. The ideal get away for peace and quiet. Eimear and Mackie were great hosts and extremely accommodating. Could not fault the lodge, full of thoughtful finishing touches. Will be coming back again in the future. Thanks again. Marc and Gemma

Lovely cottage in easy reach of local amenities and golf club. We all thought it was great.

Old hall is in a fabulous location with beautiful walks and a lovely, swimmable beach accessible from the door. the house is comfortable, fully equipped, scrupulously clean and Sandra is a very responsive host ☺️ we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. top tip: we did need to use our eye masks as the room is quite light with the early sun.

The time at the cottage was incredibly beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed every second there. Peter was incredibly helpful, super nice and had great recommendations for our time in the cottage. The cottage was totally beautifully decorated, cozy and everything was thoughtful. From the hot water bottle, to the firewood, good equipment in the kitchen... We were really happy and already miss life there! We would come back any time and fell a little more in love with Scotland!

A beautiful modernised cottage. A lovely place to stay. A great trip.

What a delightful cottage with stunning views. So peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were exceptionally helpful. We had a great time and throughly recommended this cottage. Dog friendly was a bonus too.

Love the Old Byrne. Beautiful countryside and a cosy cottage. Hope to stay again.

What a beautiful location. So peaceful and right next to stunning blue sea and an inquisitive seal. The house is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. It's got great walks from the door . It isn't far to the shop and is right next to the moving Longhope lifeboat museum.

Thanks for a great stay!!

We had a very nice time in the old school. The location is ideal for families, the kitchen is very nice and well equipped. Great base for all the attractions of the North. Very responsive and super friendly hosts. Highly recommended, you won't regret it.

The cottage was just as nice as in the video. It was well equipped, with warm comfy beds, nice towels, and plenty of fuel for the wood burners, which warmed the place up in no time. The kitchen had every thing we needed. All in all a very nice place, and I would recommend to all my friends, and would certainly stay again. Thanks Gina Kindest regards Pat Rawnsley

My colleagues who were staying here passed on their positive feedback and they thoroughly enjoyed their stay. It made working away a lot more enjoyable! Thanks again!

Second time booked it for my dad brother and the pug 5star all round clean beautiful place beautiful views all round can not fault this place highly recommend it all year round we will be back again

Excellent decor. You can tell they have refurbished. Quiet,friendly fishing village. Co-op close by. Open til 10. Need to update directions for using stove. First time visitors might not know how to lock doors. Must eat at Mirage. Might leave a plug for US electronics. Nice touch with milk and bread. Perfect place for 2 or 3 golfers. Near Brora and Dornoch. Would definitely stay there again.

Absolutely gorgeous setting, much bigger and more space than expected, great to have a washing machine in middle of our travels. Loved enclosed garden with picnic table overlooking inlet, cliffs and farms. Idyllic spot literally at the end of the road.

Lovely clean and well equipped cottage with great views to watch the sunset. Brora beach on two minute walk away.

The house is located in very beautiful surroundings and in a perfect spot to explore Tongue, Ben Hope, beautiful beaches along the North Coast and further afield. Very well equipped kitchen including plenty of herbs and spices. And extremely comfy beds.
