2 Bed in Thurso (oc-n41742)

For anyone craving an escape to the coast, look no further than this idyllic, contemporary getaway. Enjoying a fabulous seafront location in Thurso, it is ideal for a couple's retreat or family adventure. The bustling town of Thurso is alive with a plethora of traditional, independent shops, excellent cafes, bars, and restaurants, alongside the Swanson Gallery, which hosts exhibitions of fine artwork – ideal for creative-minded travellers. On your doorstep, enjoy some wonderfully scenic walks along the picturesque Thurso Beach. Thurso has long been a gateway to Orkney; jump aboard the car ferry from Scrabster Harbour (2 miles) to the maritime town of Stromness, which boasts a network of flagstone streets, lanes, and piers. Discover Dunnet Bay (10 miles), a picturesque 2-mile stretch of sandy beach, perfect for swimming and surfing. Behind Dunnet Bay lies Dunnet Community Forest, a tranquil spot for nature walks.

A large set of patio doors frame magnificent beach views from the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which truly embraces the beauty of your surroundings. From the property you can see across to Orkney and Dunnet Head, with stunning views and the chance to spot marine life like orcas, dolphins, porpoises, seals and otters. Views from the property also include surfers, local fishing boats, and daily sailings of the Scrabster to Orkney ferry. The stylish contemporary finish and bold hues perfectly complement the vibrancy of your coastal scenery, with the roaring wood burner creating a sense of warmth and cosiness. On a fine evening, slide open the patio doors and unwind to the sounds of the sea on your doorstep. Sharing the same sophistication as the ground floor, the two bedrooms upstairs promise a restful night’s sleep. There’s one king-size and one double bedroom on offer, as well as an elegant shower room with a delightful walk-in shower and underfloor heating, perfect for washing off sandy toes at the end of a busy beach day.

Soak up the tranquillity of the local coastline in the beautiful, enclosed front garden, which enjoys the best vantage point across Thurso Beach. To the rear, you’ll find an lawned garden and off-street parking. Close to the NC500, the house is perfectly placed for guests wanting to park up and enjoy their stay on foot. Walks, two play parks, a tennis court, plus shops, restaurants, pubs and takeaways are all just minutes away. Set in a quiet, tranquil part of town, it’s also ideal for non drivers, with the bus and train stations and the Scrabster ferry terminal all nearby.
