Perched on a hillside overlooking the Moray Firth, it enjoys superb uninterrupted views across the Sutherland hills to the sea. Originally Kate’s Croft comprised a small, two-roomed croft house and barn. The cottage has been renovated by the current owner and now provides delightful accommodation that oozes rustic charm in a quiet and peaceful setting. It is situated on a small no-through lane that leads directly onto the open hillside. Just 1½ miles from the A9 and the renowned North Coast 500 route, it is easily accessible too. Wildlife is abundant in the immediate area and deer, golden eagles, otters, dolphins and seals are seen locally. The large kitchen/dining room in the converted barn area is simply stunning. With a farmhouse kitchen table, wood burner and bright, contemporary kitchen units with large range cooker, it makes a wonderful hub for the whole family to gather around. It is also extremely well-equipped. There are two separate living rooms, one with a large wood-burner, making this an ideal cottage for a two-family holiday or larger groups. The main bedroom is accessed via its own separate staircase. Located in the old hay loft and built into the hillside, the owner has cleverly added French doors which open onto a decking area with patio table and chairs where you can enjoy the morning sun, or if you are lucky, an amazing view of the Northern Lights. At the other end of the cottage a second staircase leads up to another double bedroom, a twin room and a single room. All enjoy the same wonderful sea views. There is a small enclosed garden with a picnic bench. From here, steps lead up to a small decked area behind the house which can also be accessed from the master bedroom. Situated in the pretty hamlet of Gartymore, it is just over a mile to the attractive coastal fishing village of Helmsdale. Here there is a thriving small harbour and a good selection of small local shops and restaurants as well as a fascinating, award-winning museum detailing the area’s rich and varied past. There is a 9-hole golf course in the village and other championship golf courses at nearby Brora and Dornoch. The local shoreline is renowned for its fossils, which are regularly found along this particular stretch of coast. This region is also known for its unspoilt beaches, wild and rugged coastline, and traditional villages. Travel north to visit the Castle of Mey, John O’ Groats and the Orkney Isles. Golf, fishing, cycling, hill-walking, surfing, kayaking and pony trekking are all local pastimes. Beach 1 mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1¾ mile. Free WiFi There are steps within the property. There is open water in the property grounds. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Dishwasher ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115420000/115413800/115413773/3d6da9b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dalchalm Hideaway - self-catering apartment near Brora Brora - Ocean view - Kitchen - Parking available - Microwave 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=115413773&PinnedHotelID=115413773&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113630000/113628700/113628664/bbe2adab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Bedroom Cottage overlooking the River Brora and Harbour Brora - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=113628664&PinnedHotelID=113628664&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111420000/111418100/111418006/5424bda5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Old Coastguard Station, Helmsdale Helmsdale - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=111418006&PinnedHotelID=111418006&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105260000/105251800/105251792/516234ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A 2-bedroom cottage overlooking the Helmsdale harbour.

Accomadation is good and clean. ##### Raj P. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian R. Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Watch your head, your feet and enjoy the views. A one week holiday with the family.House was very clean and welcoming, even a piano in the sitting room, and a good selection of booksSnug very nice with games.The kitchen is amazing and the main way in and out of the property. A small lawn with a view over the sea.If your tall, watch your head, as some doors are low and a few bumped heads during the week.There are three wood burning stoves. I tried to lite two, but the kept going out. Not any problem when i got home to my stove.The bedroom above the kitchen is a beautiful room that leads out to a decking. I would advise to use with care or not at all as the wood in parts is rotten as were the outside steps. Ownwr has been informed. The heating was either too hot or not at all.If yoh have a low powered car, be prepared for the hill.Would i go back. Maybe not. ##### Ian R.
