There is a good selection of books, and no television. Each has a lounge, kitchen-diner, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Anvil also has a separate shower room/w.c. and a utility room; and is “disabled-friendly”. Accommodation is single-storey, and each cottage has its own enclosed garden. There is ample adjacent parking space. The wonderful Oldshoremore beach is 15-20 minutes walk across the machair or three minutes by car. The area is great for bird-watching. We have an excellent nature resource centre, between the cottages, for the private use of guests, with a comprehensive range of books and other material on birds, animals, flowers, geology, seashore life etc.
Kinlochbervie has shops, a hotel/restaurant, a fishing harbour and a chandlery where fishing permits can be obtained. The spectacular Sandwood bay is a couple of hours’ walk along a track. There are three beautiful beaches nearby, and the area offers superb coastal and hill walking.
