Ceol na Mara is a cosy two-bedroom cottage in Newport near Dunbeath and Helmsdale, an idyllic getaway for families or couples.
Its fitting name translates as ‘Music of the Sea’ from Scottish Gaelic, as this beautiful cottage sits on the top of the cliffs of the stunning Caithness coastline. With wonderful North sea-views, traditional Crofters cottage décor, and a woodburning stove, you'll feel right at home, and there's an enclosed garden with a luxurious hot tub for you to relax in after a busy day exploring the picturesque North Highlands. Arrive at Ceol na Mara, in sight of the famous Berriedale Braes, by a single-track road before being greeted by off-road parking and splendid coastal sights.
Enter the living/dining room, with plush sofas and a TV that includes access to Netflix for some downtime.
Or soak up the far reaching views on offer from every window, you may even catch a glimpse of Dolphins or even the Northern Lights if you’re lucky! Why not finish your day in the hot tub, where you can catch sight of the Milky Way on a clear night.
With no light pollution for miles, stargazing is a must. The kitchen is well-equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer.
Savor mealtimes together at the dining table and enjoy a cosy evening by the woodburner and choose from a selection of board games to play.
After a day of exploring, unwind in the bathroom with a soak in the bath or a rinse under the overhead shower.
There are two well-appointed bedrooms to choose from, both benefitting from sea views, so you can curl up with a hot chocolate and escape into a good book. Ceol na Mara is located in a small Crofting hamlet that is part of the famous Highland Langwell estate.
It’s next to the village of Berriedale, home to a beautiful beach, the stunning Berriedale Braes and Strath, where you can enjoy outstanding scenic walks.
Why not explore Caithness’ only mountain Morven or neighbouring Maiden’s Pap. The views are truly spectacular everywhere you look.
There’s no shortage of adventures to be had! The cottage also benefits from being just half a mile off the renowned NC500, where you can soak up incomparable scenery for just over 500 miles, before returning to the comfort of Ceol na Mara. Visit the village of Dunbeath for all your amenities, as well as the beautiful harbour for views of the spectacular castle.
Dunbeath Heritage Museum, is perfect for history buffs and those looking to find out more of what the local area has to offer.
The picturesque and historic Highland village of Helmsdale is the perfect place to relax and take in the stunning scenery.
Timespan Museum is a great place to learn about the history of the area and the Emigrants Monument is a moving tribute to commemorate the huge numbers of people evicted from their ancestral homes during the Highland Clearances . Within Helmsdale you will also find lovely shops, welcoming pubs and restaurants and a picturesque harbour.
Venture further afield to John O'Groats, the bustling harbour at Wick, Duncansby Head Stacks, the Waligoe Steps, a wide selection of Whiskey Distilleries and the beautiful Dunrobin Castle to name just a few of many attractions, there really is something for everyone to enjoy. For a remote setting in the Scottish Northern Highlands, choose Ceol na Mara.
