Guest Experience
Previous guests noted the peaceful rural setting surrounded by sheep and geese. Indian Runner ducks and other wildlife were frequently seen from the property. The host provided clear arrival instructions and added Christmas decorations during the festive season.
“I found the seclusion of Rowan Cottage to be its most compelling aspect, nestled amidst farmland with peaceful countryside views, though remarkably close to the dramatic Dunnet Bay and the north coast's attractions. Inside, the cottage balances its rustic setting with notable comfort, particularly through its excellent beds and a cozy electric fireplace. It's a well-appointed base for exploring the region, especially for those who appreciate a quiet return after a day of discovery.”
