Mey Bee
Mey Bee is a cottage in Mey, which is right up at the north tip of Scotland. It's detached and sits in about an acre of wildflower meadow. The views are very long because it's flat up here. You can see the sea and the Orkney Islands on a clear day.
It's for two people. One bedroom, one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's been done up from a ruin, so it's got a new feel inside but it's in a very old, quiet spot.
The front garden has a sitting area, a vegetable patch you can use, and a firepit. There are stone paths around the place. Out the back there's a Zen garden and a woodshed that also works as a bike shed.
You come in through a utility room at the back. Good for boots and coats. The main room is open plan: kitchen, dining, living area. It has two wood burners. One is for atmosphere, the other does the central heating and works as an extra oven. There are window seats to look out from.
The bathroom has a bath. The bedroom is a good size with two big windows.
It's a very quiet place. You're next door to the Castle of Mey, which you can see from the back. The local coast for walking starts at Harrow harbour, just down the road. The NC500 route is about a minute's drive away if you want to explore by car.
In the car, John o' Groats is about 15 minutes. Dunnet Head, which is the most northerly point on the British mainland, is about 20 minutes. Thurso, for shops and cafes, is about half an hour.
Facilities: it's all on the ground floor and the entrance is wheelchair accessible. There's parking, a washing machine, TV, wood burners, and bedding and towels are included. You can bring one dog.
