The semi-detached cottage, which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, offers guests direct access to sandy beaches and other scenic beauty spots.

Booking and Location
A week-long stay at Myrtle Cottage for four people is currently available through Airbnb or cottages.com at a price of £1,087. The property is part of the Cathair Dhubh Estate, nestled along the rugged Sutherland coast.
Time Out praised the cottage for its coastal walks, with beauty spots such as Split Rock and Clachtoll Beach within easy reach. The magazine said: "If you want total seclusion, this semi-detached cottage will do the trick. It's settled in on the Sutherland coast, perched above Achmelvich Bay, with nothing but miles and miles of mountain and seaside views outside your window. This also makes for some fantastic hikes during the day and a rather spectacular sunset over the cliffs."
Recognition and Further Details
The property topped Time Out's list of the "best Airbnbs in the Scottish Highlands," shared in August. Further photographs and details can be found on the Airbnb listing, while the full list is available on the Time Out website.
