Durness lies on the remote north coast of the Highlands, and is the most north-westerly village on the Scottish mainland. It is located in the county of Sutherland, roughly 120 miles north of Inverness. Despite being the largest village in the northwest corner of Scotland, but has a population of just 400. Backed by spectacular, mountainous countryside, with a pristine, sandy beach nearby, holiday cottages in Durness are perfect for visitors who want to experience the Highlands’ rugged landscapes at their best. The coast of Durness consists of towering, grassy clifftops and sheltered, sandy coves. Smoo Cave is a vast hollow in a sheer limestone cliff, and a must-see on self-catering holidays in Durness.
With beautiful sea views and a cosy sitting room with open fire, this homely cottage makes a wonderful base for holidaymakers, regardless of the weather.
