The Bothan at Mackay’s

About this listing

The Bothan at Mackay’s is a cosy, self-catered, intimate space perfect for a couple.

The Bothan features bespoke cool toned interiors fitted with ambient lighting, furnished with a mix of curated and second-hand finds.

Its super comfy oversized bed with feather-free bedding and the finest linens welcomes tired legs after a long day. The beautiful oak bench seating beckons for breakfast and ceramics by local artist Mudness Ceramics provide a beautiful finishing touch.

Located behind the excellent village shop, this spot lends itself well to sourcing curated food provisions or even getting your breakfast warm straight from the shop oven. The well equipped kitchen gives you the freedom to cook whatever you like during your stay.

Durness lies in the heart of Mackay Country, packed full of natural wonders. Surrounded by spectacular mountains, a rugged coastline and stunning unpolluted beaches makes for a perfect escape. Prepare for the memorable sight of leaping dolphins or graceful whales, which frequent local bays daily during the summer months. Share the sad weary gaze of resting seals as you explore the magnificent landscape.

For the more adventurous, some of the most enjoyable hill walking in Britain can be found in the Sutherland area. Unlike some of the more popular hills these are remote, quiet hills where you are less likely to meet another living soul. The ridge of hills and mountains stretching South begin in Durness and they include the magnificent Foinhaven and Arkle, and to the east, Ben Loyal and the most northerly Munro Ben Hope.

You could even make some memories playing at the most Northerly golf course in mainland Europe.

The Bothan at Mackay’s is the perfect ‘home base’, so come and explore all we have to offer in the Far North!
