1 bedroom accommodation in Rispond, near Durness

Set in an area with abundant wildlife, this characterful property lies on a 200-acre estate with many outdoor activities available.. Situated on the 200-acre Rispond Lodge Estate, three historic detached properties, The Cottage, The Fish House and The Byre, lie close to a picturesque, natural harbour and enjoy stunning views across this wild and unspoilt area and accessed via a short lane off the spectacular route known as the North Coast 500 in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the extreme Northwest of the Country.
The Cottage (ref UK5308) is a delightful stone building, that enjoys panoramic views across the picturesque harbour and the hills beyond. It has been thoughtfully arranged with the main living area on the first floor, making most of the views, with a wood burner and deep leather sofas providing a cosy atmosphere. A large sofa can be converted into a double bed whilst on the ground floor a beautifully presented double bedroom with a super king can be converted into two twin beds if desired.
The Byre (ref UKC1399) has a pretty, open-plan living room and dining area, with a feature wood burner. There is a bright, well-equipped kitchen at the rear and two large double en-suite bedrooms. A spiral staircase leads up to the first-floor second living room, which has a steeply combed ceiling and spans the length of the cottage.
The Fish House (ref UKC1398) is a listed building that has been lovingly restored to an exceptionally high standard whilst retaining many of its original and unique features. Part of the building was originally used to store the nets and fishing material at the height of the herring boom. Wooden beams, solid oak flooring and a large feature wood burner provide a traditional feel with a contemporary ambience. The main living area is on the first floor and runs the length of the house. There are four beautifully presented en-suite bedrooms as well as a second living room.
This secluded base is a haven for wildlife. Deer, otters, eagles and a wide variety of bird life are regularly seen in the region and seals have been known to frequent the harbour. For outdoor enthusiasts, the local area is second to none. Kayaking, sailing, fishing, hill-walking, bird-watching, and golf are all available right on the doorstep.
The nearest beach, just a short stroll from the house is outstanding and is a perfect crescent of white sand bounded by rocks and hills. Beach 200 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 3 miles.

Eindrucksvolle Lage
Zuerst waren wir etwas von der abseitige Lage des Hauses und der Siedlung in Rispond. Nach Betreten der Ferienwohnung waren wir aber sehr angenehm überrascht. Leider kamen wir fast nie ins Netz, um Kontakt mit zu Hause in Deutschland aufzunehmen. Der Gastgeber, der uns persönlich begrüßte war sehr freundlich und erklärte uns alles. Wer Natur und Ruhe schätzt, der ist hier richtig. Zudem ist man in wenigen Minuten in Durness.
