Heather Cottage Reviews

James
We had a great stay at this cottage. It's perfect for families wanting to unwind after a day exploring the local beaches and historic spots. We enjoyed hanging out near John O'Groats, watching the different groups finishing their trips at the landmark. The distillery cafe is a lovely stopand my wife swears it has the best cafe latte around - she's usually quite picky! The cottage itself has everything you need for a comfortable holiday, really felt like a home away from home.
Jamie
We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was charming and had everything we needed, plus a big enclosed garden perfect for our dog. The welcome pack was a nice touch, with treats and a ball for the pooch - made us feel very welcome!
Sam Reynolds
We found the cottage to be really cosy and spotlessly clean, much bigger than it looks from the outside. The garden was stunning, even with the rain and wind. Anne was lovely-great at communication and very helpful if we needed anything. We stayed a few days alone and felt completely safe. The bus service to Thurso was handy, with a gorgeous beach and a fantastic museum with a cafe. We'd definitely return, even though it's quite a trek from home!
Emily
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely place! The house felt really warm and welcoming, with each room beautifully decorated and full of character. The garden was a real highlight-huge, safeand perfect for kids and dogs to run around freely. The hot tub was spotless and ready to go when we arrived, which was a real treat. The kitchen and utility were super well stocked, making everything easy. Plus, the cosy wood burner made the evenings even better. Definitely recommend!
Luke
We had a brilliant time over Christmas! Anne was incredibly welcoming and gave us plenty of space to relax. The cottage was stunning, beautifully decorated with high-quality fittings. The hot tub was a real highlightand the huge garden was perfect for our dogs to run around. Definitely recommend for a peaceful escape from everyday stress!
Oliver
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage - it had everything we needed and was perfect for relaxing. The rooms were spacious and super cosy, which made it feel like a home away from home. Anne was lovely to communicate with, always quick to reply and helpful. We'd definitely come back if we're ever in the area again!
Mark
We had a lovely stay at Thistle Cottage. The gardens were perfect for our dogs, especially with the big park just across the street. The history of the place was really interesting, though we'd have loved to learn who the people in the large pictures in the hall were. The house had everything we needed for a comfy visit. Would return!
Emma

We loved staying here! The cottage has such charm and feels really homely. The welcome pack was a lovely touch-fresh bread, sparkling wine, chocolatesand even treats for our dogs.
