Farr is a quintessential, traditional, stone croft cottage, perched on the hillside above the picturesque fishing village of Helmsdale. . All on the ground floor.
Living/dining room: With open fire, 30" Freeview TV and DVD player.
Kitchen: Galley style with electric oven, electric hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine.
Bedroom 1: With double bed.
Bedroom 2: With twin beds.
Shower room: With shower cubicle and heated towel rail.
Separate toilet.. Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and fuel for open fire included. . Enclosed front garden with sitting-out area and bench. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Set in its own grounds, and freshly decorated with comfort in mind, Farr provides peace and seclusion, coupled with incredible sea views. The front door leads into a small veranda with large picture windows and a comfortable sofa - an ideal spot to watch the ever-changing seascapes below. The living room has a warm welcoming open fire, as well as a folding dining table. The kitchen at the rear of the cottage is small but well-equipped, complete with modern units. There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the second with twin beds.

Animals are welcome but any damage to the property done by them will require payment of a compensatory fee. The land at the rear goes straight up onto open hillside. Deer graze nearby and are likely to be inquisitive visitors at the window!

Just a mile away, down the steep single-track road, is Helmsdale village and the renowned North Coast 500 route, which encompasses some of the most amazing and inspiring landscapes to be found anywhere in the British Isles. Helmsdale has a small, thriving harbour, with brightly coloured cottages straddling the shoreline. Here you will also find a selection of local shops and restaurants, as well as a fascinating museum detailing the area’s rich and varied past, including a famous 19th century gold rush. Fishing, cycling, hill walking, kayaking, and surfing are all enjoyed locally. This region is also renowned for its magnificent unspoilt beaches with a pebble beach just 1 mile away, wild rugged coastline, historic castles, and traditional fishing villages. Beach 12 miles. Shop, pub, and restaurant 1 mile.
