3 Bedroom Cottage in Helmsdale

Set amongst spectacular scenery along the far north stretch of the infamous North Coast 500, this is a fantastic retreat for small families or couples travelling together. Sit is sat within the hillside in the small hamlet of Navidale, just 0.5 miles from the harbourside town of Helmsdale. An ancient croft cottage that has been lovingly restored, it oozes character and charm and boasts incredible views of the sea from every room of the house. Why not take in the spectacular panoramas from the deck area or hop in the hot tub at dusk and relax under the stars?

Upon entering this traditional stone-built cottage, you’ll find yourselves in the kitchen/dining area. Spacious and well-equipped, it offers lovely views of the countryside and coastline beyond. Move into the lounge next door, which is warm and welcoming and boasts an open fire for cooler evenings; it’s an elegant space to relax in following a day exploring the local area. The first of three bedrooms is also located on the ground floor – a cosy double with an en-suite bathroom. Keen bird watchers might want to take their binoculars to the conservatory at the front of the cottage or simply sit back and breathe in the tranquil views.

Head upstairs via a narrow-angled staircase to two further bedrooms in the eaves; a twin and another double. Here, you’ll also find a shower room with a WC and an infrared sauna – quite the treat to enjoy at any time of the year!

Outside, there is a large, enclosed garden with a fire pit – a wonderful space to enjoy some scran within inspiring scenery. Guests can also make use of the sunken hot tub (there’s an extra charge for use – please enquire when booking) further adding to the appeal of this bonnie hillside retreat.
