Crossing Cottage
Crossing Cottage, built in 1883 as accommodation for local railway workers, is a stunning semi-detached red-brick cottage made from original Brora bricks, located in the heart of the village of Brora.
The cottage is every rail enthusiast’s dream, with The Far North Line running nearby. The most northern train line in Britain runs from Inverness to Wick and is amongst the most scenic, with trains trundling past the property just eight times a day.
Crossing Cottage can accommodate four guests in two bedrooms on the first floor, both of which have kingsize beds. The family bathroom is located on the ground floor and features a corner bath and shower. Kept cosy with oil central heating, there is a wood burner located in the living room, perfect for those winter evenings relaxing on the sofa with a wee dram of the local tipple, Clynelish.
To the rear of the property the mature garden is fully-fenced, perfect for your four-legged friends, so they can enjoy holiday fun as well. Outdoor seating is available for guests, nestled out of the way of any breezy Highland weather. The property is easily accessed with on-street parking available directly at the front door.
Perfectly positioned on the magnificent east coast of Sutherland, less than an hour and a half’s drive from Inverness, the small village of Brora has a fantastic coast golf course and is a great base for a number of superb golf courses in the area. Brora beach is a small golden sandy beach with ancient rocks and is great for wildlife watching. Dolphins, minke whales, and grey and common seals often make an appearance off the coastline and it’s an ideal place for walking and picnics too!
Brora has a good selection of small gift shops, cafés and restaurants. Nearby amenities include a renowned championship golf course, fishing, horse riding, tennis courts and bowling green. Water sports such as paddle boarding and kayaking are available nearby with hire and instruction. Be sure to take binoculars as an abundance of wildlife can often be seen along the nearby shoreline, including dolphins, seals and occasionally otters and orcas. Beach 1 mile.
