Sharvedda is a modern family bed and breakfast on a working croft at Strathy Point on Sutherland’s superb North coast.  In between taking care of their guest’s, Patsy and Donald Macaskill run their forty acre croft breeding North Cheviot sheep for wool.

Strathy point is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.  Hill walkers, bird-watchers and botanists will find plenty to occupy themselves with on the point, from watching peat cutters at work, to seeing the local Salmon Fishing Station or hunting for Britains rarest flower, the Scot’s Primrose (Primula Scotia), found nearby.

You will be welcomed on arrival with a pot of tea or coffee and a tray of Patsy’s delicious home-baked cakes, and will quickly relax in the Macaskills’ comfortable family home.  The spacious lounge has wonderful views over Strathy bay, the Orkney Islands and the Atlantic.  So lean back in your armchair and soak in the sun, sea and sky.  Alternatively, there’s a wide selection of books and information on the surrounding areas to help you plan the next day’s activities, as well as a colour TV.

In the morning you will enjoy a relaxed breakfast in Patsy’s traditional family kitchen.  A wide breakfast menu offers local specialities such as Smoked Scrabster Haddock with Poached Egg, as well as cereals, porridge and a full Scottish breakfast - all with tea, coffee and toast.  Patsy uses only the freshest local produce and her home-made marmalade and fruit jams.

After a day spent in the fresh air you may want to take advantage of the optional evening meal.  A hearty two or three course meal is offered, prepared from local ingredients and served with tea or coffee and home-baking.

Patsy and Donald Macaskill want you to have a relaxing and memorable time with them.  Their genuine hospitality is reflected in Sharvedda’s three star rating with the Scottish Tourist Board and Patsy’s Certificate of Excellence in Bed and Breakfast operations (a Scotvec National Award).

Sharvedda offers one double and one twin bedroom (both ensuite) and a twin bedroom with private bathroom.
