Bydand Cottage
Bydand Cottage is in Melness, up in the very north of Scotland. It's our old family croft house, made of stone, detached. The views are straight out over the sea, no other houses in the way.
It sleeps five in three bedrooms. There's one bathroom, on the ground floor. It's a 4 Star place, which means it's comfortable and well looked after, but it's still a cottage. The rooms are a good size.
The garden is fully fenced, which is good if you're bringing a dog or kids. You can let them out the back without worrying. There's parking right there.
You're on a working croft, so you might see sheep or the tractor going past. It's quiet though. The pub is about a two minute walk up the lane. They do food. There's a local shop about half a mile away for basics. For a bigger shop, you'd go to Tongue, which is about seven miles.
You can walk straight from the front gate. The beach is less than ten minutes down the track. For a proper mountain, Ben Hope is about a twenty minute drive. Ben Loyal is closer. There's a boat slip nearby if you're bringing kayaks.
Inside, you've got a washing machine, TV, and all the bedding and towels are there. We allow one well-behaved dog.
