We will always be available at the end of a phone, but we do not live full-time in Dunnet. However, we have a lovely local host for the House of the Northern Gate who will ensure your stay is just how you want it.
The House of the Northern Gate sits in the Dunnet Estate: 1800 acres of coastal moorland looking out to Orkney and the Atlantic on Dunnet Head which is the most northerly point of mainland Britain. To the south of the house is Dunnet village with the world-famous Rock Rose gin distillery and the Northern Sands pub
A car is recommended to explore the area. It's not impossible by bus (15min walk to bus stop) and bike but a car will give you more flexibility
