The Taing - cosy stone built cottage on the beach

A renovated stone built house right on the beach in Reawick, West mainland in Shetland. The house has been restored to a high standard making it a warm and cosy retreat and base to explore Shetland and its stunning wildlife. There are spectacular views from every room so armchair birdwatching is an option! Otters and seals are often seen in the bay and there is access to coastal walks right on the doorstep. The space The house is accessed from the back straight into the utility room where you can leave your coats and muddy boots. The utility room has a butler sink, washing machine and separate toilet. This leads onto the bright and sunny kitchen which has views over the neighbouring hills. The kitchen is well equipped for all your self catering needs with a electric induction cooker, fridge/freezer and pine table and chairs. The kitchen leads to a dining/living area with a large dining table, bookshelves with a selection of local interest books and novels, games etc. There is a sofa bed for guests to use and views over the bay. A small corridor leads to the downstairs bathroom and large super king size bedroom with adjoining conservatory. The bathroom has a shower and roll top bath. The conservatory is a perfect spot to sit and watch the local beach and bird life sheltered from the wind. Upstairs there is a double bedroom, bathroom with shower and large living room, again with views across the bay. Guest access The whole house is available to guests Other things to note During the high & mid seasons, April-Oct the house is let Saturday- Saturday with 3pm arrival and 10 am departure. If you have a requirement outside of these times please make an enquiry and we will see if we can accommodate. Dogs One behaved dog is welcome by arrangement. We would ask that that you keep your dog out of the bedrooms, off the furniture and under control at all times. It is worth noting that the property does not have secure fencing and as a crofting area most of the surrounding land is grazed by sheep so there is little opportunity for dogs to run off the lead apart from on the beach
