Neighborhood info

During your stay you will have beautiful sea views of the Kyle of Tongue with golden sand beaches only a short walk away. There is a small store for essentials under a mile away and another one a few miles away in Tongue. The closest restaurant is a very short walk away and there are a couple of other dining options in Tongue. The dramatic landscape is home to several lochs as well as the impressive Ben Loyal and Ben Hope mountains. Smoo Cave, Cape Wrath and Castle of Mey are some of the spectacular places to drive to, or perhaps go on a longer adventure with a day trip to the Orkney Islands from John O’Groats. Its proximity to the NC500 makes Shepherd Moon a compelling choice for anyone planning to travel the famous route who is looking for well situated stops that add to the experience. If you are an EV driver then the added benefit of the cottage’s dedicated EV charger could make this destination a key part of your journey.
