SHEPHERD MOON, Talmine

Shepherd Moon is a two-bedroom holiday home overlooking Talmine Bay and the surrounding mountains. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen with oven, hob, and washing machine with drying function. A private garden with sea views surrounds the property, and the front porch offers a sheltered spot to watch the water.

Free private parking on site includes an electric vehicle charging station and bicycle parking. The home provides board games and puzzles for indoor entertainment, keyless entry via a smart locking system, and free WiFi throughout. Heating in all rooms, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers are installed for safety.

Talmine Beach is a 20-minute walk down a footpath signposted from the property, offering a quiet sandy shore for dogs and walkers. Canoeing, diving, fishing, hiking, and walking tours are available in the immediate area. The nearest airport is Wick John O'Groats Airport, 105 km away, and the Spar shop in Tongue is a 10-minute drive.

Pets are welcome at Shepherd Moon, and the secure garden is suitable for dogs to roam. The property has family rooms with a double bed and twin beds upstairs, and a stair gate can be requested. Board games and a children's high chair (upon request) support family stays, though the steep, narrow stairs are noted in guest reviews.

Free on-site private parking is available, with accessible parking space and the electric vehicle charging station. Bicycle parking is provided for guests arriving by bike. The property is located on a 30 mph road; the entry system uses a keyless lock with codes issued before arrival.
