Cottage holiday rentals in Halkirk

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful view of the beach and surrounding area. We got lucky and saw the northern lights! The place was super cozy. Loved the extra effort the hosts put in to make sure we had everything we needed, which included a dog bed, doggy treats and board games. The Christmas tree and bottle of Prosecco were a much appreciated bonus. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends.

This is a really unique stay and I spent a good part of my time there looking out at sea wondering when I would next be able to come back. So that should tell you how much I liked it! It’s at a lighthouse, so as you would expect, it’s at the end of a long road (which is very bumpy in places!). Then you get to the cosy house, with a wood fire, and well stocked kitchen with welcome treats. Alan is very friendly as are the dogs and the chickens! My child loved feeding them every morning. The fresh farm eggs were such a treat. Cantick Head itself is stunning and we loved being in the hot tub and sauna. Note to other guests- all these are wood powered so stock up on firewood before you arrive (you can buy bags at the shop next to the Lyness ferry). My mum took one of the bikes out and we all enjoyed walking the coastline. This is a special stay, don’t hesitate to book!

Absolutely fantastic location, with fantastic scenery nearby. Had some wonderful walks, literally behind the property. The BBQ area was fantastic like the hot tub. I can’t say much more, but I will be looking to return ASAP Matthew is a fantastic host and nothing seems to be too much of a problem. Loved the place, oh and the Highland cows are awesome.

Had an amazing time ! Can’t recommend this beautiful place enough ! Amazing views ! Jacuzzi was incredible ! Loved every minute !

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. The place is super cozy, with a lovely fireplace that made evenings feel extra special. The kitchen was fully equipped and really great for cooking, and having a proper dining room added a nice touch — we could actually sit and enjoy our meals together. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. We slept well, the beds were comfy, and the whole area was peaceful with just the sound of the river nearby. The hot tub and fresh air were the cherry on top. Huge thanks to the host — very friendly and quick to respond. Would definitely come back!

Stunning location. The ideal get away for peace and quiet. Eimear and Mackie were great hosts and extremely accommodating. Could not fault the lodge, full of thoughtful finishing touches. Will be coming back again in the future. Thanks again. Marc and Gemma

We had an amazing stay! Cottage was perfect, short drive to a lovely town and great to access all parts of the Highlands. Highly Recommend!

Probably the best Christmas we have had for a while. All the stress taken out of it by the hosts, the house was beautifully decorated for the season, two wrapped presents and a hamper of goodies. We felt thoroughly spoilt! The cabin is exquisite and we would love to come back. It was wonderful for the dogs too, completely fenced in around the cabin so no fears of escapees! We loved everything about it!!

Old hall is in a fabulous location with beautiful walks and a lovely, swimmable beach accessible from the door. the house is comfortable, fully equipped, scrupulously clean and Sandra is a very responsive host ☺️ we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. top tip: we did need to use our eye masks as the room is quite light with the early sun.

The time at the cottage was incredibly beautiful and slowing down. We enjoyed every second there. Peter was incredibly helpful, totally nice and had great recommendations for our time in the cottage. The cottage was totally lovely decorated, cozy and everything was thoughtful. From the hot water bottle, to the firewood, good equipment in the kitchen... We were really happy and already miss life there! We would come back any time and fell in love with Scotland a bit more!

A beautiful modernised cottage. A lovely place to stay. A great trip.

What a delightful cottage with stunning views. So peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were exceptionally helpful. We had a great time and throughly recommended this cottage. Dog friendly was a bonus too.

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Words cannot describe the location of the old Byre and the surrounding area. Louise and her husband Bob made us feel so welcome and we just didn’t want to leave.We can’t wait to return.

Perfect for a friend and I to base ourselves for a couple of days while playing the local golf courses. Thanks for a very easy stay

What a beautiful location. So peaceful and right next to stunning blue sea and an inquisitive seal. The house is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. It's got great walks from the door . It isn't far to the shop and is right next to the moving Longhope lifeboat museum.

Lovely place to stay, felt very homely. Wonderful views and even better that there were no neighbours in the immediate vicinity which our reactive doggy appreciated, along with the big enclosed garden. Would definitely stay here again, well worth the price paid.

Very peaceful and private location with great views over the loch. The instructions to get to the house were good and we found our way easily. The three bedrooms were great for our group of six. The kids especially enjoyed watching the deer that roamed around the house.

A beautiful property in a beautiful part of Scotland. We felt very comfortable and at home at Firthview. Immaculately clean and with great facilities, we wouldn't hesitate to return.

Great location, clean cosy and all that was needed for the few days in Dornoch. Wonderful!

House was warm and comfortable, on the edge of the village in a peaceful cul de sac. Easy parking close to the front door. Kevin was easy to contact and helpful when there were problems with finding the location and subsequently when we needed to change our plans.

Fantastic location and beautifully set out inside. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to explore the North of Scotland

It was our second time staying at Ruth's. I can't emphasize enough how great it is. Very secluded and peaceful. Once again, thank you Ruth.

We had an amazing stay! The owners were so hospitable, and their friendly dog made our visit even more enjoyable. The scenery was breathtaking, with sheep grazing peacefully nearby. The house was very cozy and had everything we needed to feel right at home. Highly recommend!

Best airbnb stay ever. Sylia’s cottage is really special. Nestled among the sheep farms on a hill overlooking the sea, it is quiet and calm with an incredible view. The interior is cozy and nicely decorated with local art. I immediately felt at home. The cottage had everything I needed — comfy beds, kitchen necessities, walk-in shower, all boxes ticked. I was there for a long stay while doing some family research and the larger table was a perfect spot to write up notes and organize photos on my computer. Syvia is a great communicator and has the best guest book I’ve seen with plenty of local recommendations. She went above and beyond to connect me to the local community. Bonus: I saw the northen lights from the window while I was there! It was the perfect retreat and I was sad to leave it.
