The coastal village of Inverkirkaig is set in the county of Sutherland, a lovely and unspoilt part of the N.W. Scottish highlands. Situated in a beautiful location in the corner of Inverkirkaig bay, the chalet is about 20 metres from the waters edge. There are beaches where children can explore and play and you can wade out quite a way when the tide is in, either for general splashing about, or if you need to get out to a boat moored in the bay. The bay is ideal for windsurfing, dinghy sailing and canoeing with most wind directions.

There is now a balcony with stunning views over the bay, where you can eat at any time of day. Taking breakfast outside, to the accompaniment of the sights and sounds of the bay, is a fine way to set you up for the day and leave behind the cares and worries of everyday life. If you prefer, there is also a picnic bench outside set on a vantage point. There are some beautiful coast and hill walks almost on the doorstep and there is an abundance of all sorts of birdlife and wildlife. There are several fishing locations within about a 15 mins. walk from the chalet.

For those not familiar with the term 'But 'n Ben', this was a traditional Scottish 2 room holiday cottage with the Butt end being the livingroom and the Ben being the sleeping area. It was immortalised by 'The Broons', who holidayed every year at their But 'n Ben in the highlands. Typically, there would be no mains electricity, lighting would be by Paraffin lamps and water would usually be from a nearby well or loch or possibly a tank filled by a stream. When you visit our But 'n Ben, you will find we have made some improvements on the traditional facilities.
