Beachfront holiday rental in Durness

This is one of those Airbnb that deserve six stars. The pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. It sits on a hill above the sea such that all you see out the windows is water and mountains. They converted what had been a garage into a cozy, living, eating, and sleeping space. Everything is so well built and there is so much attention to detail that you feel like you are in a much larger space. There’s nothing that hasn’t been well thought out and designed. And Andy and Jenny are such warm and friendly people you immediately feel like you’re part of the family. I could go on and on, but I will leave it there and simply say I highly recommend it.

Two of us, plus our two dogs, had the Noddle to ourselves so we had plenty of room. It was exactly as described. Had everything you needed plus very comfy bed. It was lovely to have the fire going and also to sit in the conservatory which was so toasty. I even had a go at sketching and playing the piano! Emilys tea room is such an easy walk and we had a delicious supper with her plus coffee the morning we checked out. Thank you Tony.

Great place to stay. Perfect location with walking trails, a beautiful beach, and a great little restaurant all minutes walk from your front door. Our host was wonderful and extremely helpful during our stay. 100% reccomend staying here.

Pictures of the view from the main living room/dining room was what drew me to the property and the reality did not disappoint. The house was very homely, comfortable and Isabella was friendly and accommodating. I especially appreciated that there was plenty of comfortable seating for the number of people the house can accommodate to sleep. The dishwasher did not work during our visit which was an inconvenience as we were a large family group who cooked regularly during our visit, so clearing up took significantly more time than we would have liked, but once Isabella was made aware, she did not hesitate to get it seen to as soon as possible. Unfortunately it could not be repaired during our visit but I cannot fault Isabella's reponse to the situation, it was just unfortunate. I would definitely recommend the property; it is clear a lot of thought has gone into the property to make it as comfortable as possible for guest. Thank you.

Our third stay in this wonderful house . Homely and cosy with a great log burner and everything you need . Stunning views and great access to the beautiful north coast . Bring a head torch if you arrive after dark . Logs are available at Bettyhill cafe and the Wee Shop on the way to Thurso . Can’t recommend highly enough as a great ‘getaway from it all ‘ place to relax and unwind .

We stayed here walking John O Groats trail and it was a very easy place to find close to the Seaview Hotel which does nice evening meals. It was easy to check in and you were not limited to a specific time which was great for doing a long walk and arriving after 7pm from Keiss! It’s a beautiful apartment style room with ensuite, quiet and comfortable and the host was very nice. A joy to arrive at the end of a long walk, attention to all details —and slept like a log!

A lovely cosy cottage with everything that was needed to make us feel right at home. The dogs were made to feel very welcome too. Excellent location right on the sea front. Sue was most friendly and helpful even letting us sit out front on their bench looking out to sea! We would most definitely stay there again!

Stayed at Calum’s place for one night and it was perfect. Very quiet location and a quick walk to the beach which was beautiful. The place was very comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of items to cook your own meals. Bed was comfortable and great shower pressure. Outside the back were lots of sheep. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone traveling in the area.

My wife and our 2 little boys stayed at Gemma’s place for 3 nights. Instructions were great, check-in was easy, the place was spotless and within 50m walk of the beach. Helpfully, all of the things that you need for a short stay but don’t wish to buy especially were also there (eg buckets and spades, dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls, olive oil, soap, tea coffee etc) a great stay - thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer’s caravan. The place was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area. Jennifer was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and always happy to help. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely book again in the future!

Beautiful location and gorgeous surroundings to explore - Achmelvich beach not to be missed

A beautifully kitted out caravan which was spotless throughout. Lots of local info, right on the beach. All information was sent in advance and any additional questions were answered quickly. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back again next year!

Sarah was a fantastic host and really friendly. She kindly delivered new garden furniture which was really appreciated given the lovely weather. A great caravan with everything you need.

Lovely stay at Shirley’s lodge. Caravan was really clean, beds super comfy and lots of games was a bonus. Great to have the bath, washing machine and dishwasher. Place was spotless and loved the decor. One row back from the beach and huge bit of grass at the front for the kids. Great communication from Shirley and we all had a fab time

We were lucky to secure a last minute booking at Tanya’s caravan. It was as per the photos and description. Very well equipped (I can’t think of anything you would need that wasn’t there). A great plot - probably the best! You won’t go wrong here. We did not need Tanya during our stay but I am confident she would have responded very quickly as well as given recommendations etc. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home away from home. We will hopefully be back again in the future :-)

What a stunning house in a stunning location - Jamie was most helpful with organising our stay and the house was spotlessly clean! :)

The lodge Andrew provides is nothing short of excellent, The views are breathtaking especially the stars at night when your in the jacuzzi, It was the perfect getaway to the highlands as it’s remote and private but not so far away from the nearest town to get all your necessities I very highly recommend Sinclair bay and I will be back in future, Thank you Andrew for providing this wonderful experience.

We had a great time at Hayley’s cottage. The views were beautiful and the location was ideal for sightseeing. The house was pristine with all the amenities needed. Large front and back garden was a bonus. Hayley was quick to communicate and was an awesome host. Thanks again for having us!

Fantastic place. Very cosy clean and warm. It was really nice watching all the lambs play in adjacent fields. Would definitely recommend this for a nice wee change from the usual type of accommodation

What a lovely place! Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect. The views from every window were stunning, and the peaceful setting made it easy to relax. The property itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sarah was kind and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and welcoming. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and her warm hospitality really stood out. We’d love to return.

Beautiful, private and cosy cottage in a stunning location. Peaceful, and scenic! The wood burner was a bonus and was used every night. Clean, well maintained and well presented.

Clean and well maintained accommodation and had all essentials in excellent working order.

When booking a family reunion I wanted something very special and memorable. This holiday home is set within the most beautiful bay, 2 minutes walk from the beach at Clachtoll. Our Easter week was glorious with sunshine every day. We walked, enjoyed picnics, ate lovely meals out at Delilah’s and the Lochinver Pie shop. A wildlife boat trip out of Lochinver with Skipper Tony is great fun for young and old alike. For any ornithologists a trip to Handa will be joyous…..we were lucky to see puffin!! The layout of the holiday home is excellent with lots of space and importantly there are two bedrooms on the ground floor ideal for elderly or anyone with mobility issues. Thank you, Lisa and Guy for giving us the most wonderful memories of such a special holiday together. Heather
