The cottage is designed to maximize the stunning vistas, with most windows offering panoramic views of the Pentland Firth, the Isles of Orkney, and the mesmerizing early sunrises.

From March to September, guests can witness the breeding puffins that inhabit the area, adding to the charm of the location. Additionally, the Northern Lights, a rare and mysterious phenomenon, can be spotted approximately once a month, providing a magical experience for visitors. The cottage's unique position as the furthest north detached holiday accommodation on the Scottish mainland enhances its appeal for those looking to immerse themselves in nature and explore the rugged beauty of the region.
For those interested in local activities, the nearby Dunnet Bay Distillery and Gills Bay Ferry Port offer opportunities for exploration and adventure. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy the scenic beauty of Dunnet Bay Beach and the striking Duncansby Stacks, making Far North not only a comfortable stay but also a gateway to some of Scotland's most breathtaking landscapes. Overall, this coastal cottage promises a memorable getaway filled with stunning views, modern amenities, and the chance to connect with the natural wonders of the Scottish Highlands.
