New for 2023, Pollenza and Senga are south facing self catering cabins sleeping 4-5 people. 2 dogs allowed at no additional cost. Located on a working croft, on the East coast NC 500, we are ideally located for exploring the top North/East coast. Our spacious cabins have panoramic views encompassing the sea to the South, mountain range Morvan and Scaraben to the West and rolling farmland to the North and East. This is a quiet area, with outside seating to take in the stunning landscape during the day and dark skies and spectacular star gazing in abundance at night.
Having both worked in engineering and building for 30+ years, we have always wanted to sell up and build our 'forever home'... and spend our latter years working together doing what we love. Neither of us know anything about animals, but we have always had dogs and over the next few years, hope to be able to have a few Highland cows, pigmy goats, rare breed pigs and hens. We have ducks currently so it has begun. We love music and are looking forward to meeting a section of lovely people from all walks of life. Scotlands heritage, scenery and most of all, the people are without doubt worth being here. So excited for the future
We are a small 11 acre croft set between three crofts and a farm. It is a quiet area and we are approx. 1 mile from Lybster village and 12 miles from the town of Wick. Our neighbours have been very supportive and we hope to be able to integrate into the community as soon as we can. Lybster has a beautifully scenic working fishing harbour, a glass making workshop and museum, cafes, small shops, gift shops and also a football team. This does not cover it all. Some of the attractions around us not to be missed are Whaligoe Steps 365 steps down and 365 steps back up. Camster Cairns -They are among the oldest structures in Scotland, dating to about 5,000 years. Castle Sinclair Girnigoe is located about 3 miles north of Wick. It is considered to be one of the earliest seats of Clan Sinclair. It comprises the ruins of two castles: the 15th-century Castle Girnigoe; and the early 17th-century Castle Sinclair.
