Find someplace comfortable to sit, relax and simply enjoy the sound of the water hitting the shore at Durness Beach. If you're eager for some vitamin sea, this is the place to get your fill.

Durness Beach is an ideal place to begin your day of discovery in Highland. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other attractions like Smoo Cave, Balnakiel Craft Village, and John Lennon Memorial Garden to really enjoy what the area has to offer.

Nice location to down town. Helpful staff. Good breakfast. Room and property not up to expectations. Very old and run down building. Parking was difficult.

10/10 Exceptional! (6 reviews)
When arriving at the property it looked very dated so wasn’t sure what the rooms were going to be like. We were greeted by the host and was taken to our top floor room. It was clean and nicely decorated with a large comfortable bed with lovely pillows and bed linen. The bathroom was exceptional too, I couldn’t fault the room at all. The tea/coffee facilities were fabulous. I would highly recommend.
