Property info

The Old Schoolhouse offers a character stay in a prime position on the North Coast 500. When you arrive, you will appreciate the ample private parking where a 7kW electric vehicle charger is waiting to get you ready for the next part of your journey. The attention to detail continues as you settle in for your stay. The Old Schoolhouse has recently been tastefully updated, including its comprehensively equipped kitchen and it’s all there to give you the best possible accommodation. More convenience is provided by being just steps away from the closest restaurant, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are available, even to takeaway. Relax in the cosy lounge, gather on the circular booth for a game or simply take in the beautiful view across the Kyle of Tongue.

Neighborhood info

During your stay you will have beautiful sea views of the Kyle of Tongue and the golden sand of Coldbackie Beach is under a mile away. There is a small store for essentials under two miles away and the closest restaurant is next door. There, you could choose to have breakfast, lunch or dinner and there is even a takeaway option. If you want to explore other dining options then there are a couple more in Tongue, both under two miles away. 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. Being on the NC500 makes The Old Schoolhouse a compelling choice for anyone planning to travel the famous route who is looking for well situated stops that add to the experience.
