Beachfront vacation rentals 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!

Fantastic cottage, just a few steps from the sea in a lovely village. Cottage had everything that we needed, was spotlessly clean and felt really welcoming. Emma was a great host and checked everything was ok and answered any queries. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. We would love to visit again.

Great stay and immaculate cottage Pauline is an excellent host

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!

A beautiful holiday home, with all amenties provided. A great & responsive host.

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

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

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!

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

The cottage is lovely and spacious, clean and cozy. Host is good to deal with and very responsive. Sandend is a great place, nice and quiet. The cottage is very convenient for the beach. It’s right next to a path to the beach which is great for walks or watching the surfing.

Lovely and eclectic apartment. Travelled with a group of 4 and we were all very comfortable. Large living and dining room with lots to look at both inside and outside. Could not ask for a more beautiful and unique location. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate while we were there, but we enjoyed the cozy accommodations and local restaurant.

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.
