Far North Hideaway with Hot Tub
Dunnet Head
Brough Thurso
Caithness
Highlands
Set at Scotland’s iconic Dunnet Head, Far North is a unique, historic detached croft cottage offering an unforgettable coastal retreat. As the most northerly detached cottage on the Scottish mainland, this peaceful haven sits directly on the world-famous North Coast 500 (NC500) route within a pristine RSPB conservation area.
If you are looking to truly escape from it all, Far North offers complete seclusion surrounded by dramatic sea cliffs, dark night skies, and abundant Highland wildlife.
Historic Charm Meets Spa Luxury
Restored from an authentic 1835 croft cottage, Far North retains its original historic character—including deep stone fireplaces and a modern wood stove—while providing high-end contemporary luxury:
Private Outdoor Hot Tub: Soak under clear night skies in your secluded outdoor hot tub, complete with its own dedicated changing room—the ideal vantage point for watching the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).
Infrared Sauna & Spa Baths: Indulge in an en-suite spa bathroom featuring an infrared sauna and a Jacuzzi bath, plus a second family Jacuzzi bathroom serving the upstairs bedrooms.
Restful Bedrooms: Features a luxurious King-size master suite alongside two cozy upstairs bedrooms. Every bedroom comes complete with its own TV.
Modern Kitchen & Comforts: Fully equipped for self-catering with a fitted kitchen (including a dishwasher), full central heating, and double glazing throughout for year-round warmth.
Wildlife, Stargazing & Unrivalled Sea Views
Set within a large, fully enclosed rustic garden, the cottage offers a front-row seat to Scotland’s wild north coast:
Panoramic Ocean Views: Almost every window frames breathtaking views of the Pentland Firth, the Isle of Hoy, Scapa Flow, the Orkney Islands, and dramatic early sunrises.
RSPB Nature Reserve: Dunnet Head’s sea cliffs and coastal grasslands host breeding puffins (from March to September), razorbills, guillemots, fulmars, and kittiwakes.
Abundant Wildlife: Enjoy visits from local wildlife right in your garden, including deer, pheasants, pine martens, and native birds.
The Northern Lights: Free from light pollution, the clear night skies offer frequent opportunities (on average once a month) to witness the aurora borealis.
The Ultimate NC500 & Island Basecamp
Far North serves as an exceptional launchpad for discovering the rugged beauty of the Far North:
Orkney Day Trips: Look out across the water to Orkney and take an easy day ferry across the firth to explore ancient Neolithic sites.
