Customer Rating/Reviews

This was a really good, really well equipped house in a fantastic location. It was very comfy. There were so many walks and so much to do around Durness that we hardly had to drive anywhere. The beaches are amazing. Smoo Cave was a brilliant afternoon out. Author: Mrs Mwande, Hexham, Northumberland - Date of Stay: 08/2011
