How to find us

Sunnycroft Cottage Studio has a Visit Scotland sign on the A99 at the end of the Skirza road.


Take the Skirza road for 1.5 miles with the sea to your right all the way.  The Studio is shortly after a large grey barn on the right hand side of the road.


Please park in the parking area at Sunnycroft Cottage rather than on the roadside.

Parking 
The parking area is signed and is a large gravelled area with no delineated spaces. It is on a slight slope. 

Please park considerately for those who may need more space to open their doors to get in or out of their vehicles. 
From parking to the Gallery
Access is across a sloping tarmac driveway, and back onto gravel.  There is a bench to take in the view especially if the sun is shining and this is up one step.
Inside the Studio

The Studio may be small but it does feel surprisingly spacious as it is bright, airy and well lit.  It is very easy to move around inside.

We realise disability can be hidden, but will do our best to respond positively to any needs.

If getting from the parking area is too far ... 

For those less mobile, please park in front of the house garage door and line up with the gravel path.

(Sorry - we do know that gravel isn't the best to walk on for some, nor is it helpful for wheelchair users, but it was chosen to avoid surfaces that would become dangerous with ice or constant rain.  Also it is very permeable rain drainage and easy on maintenance !)

Travel by 
train
or bus

The nearest train station is Wick.  Onward travel to Skirza

would need to be made by bus.


Buses do operate from Wick to John o' Groats and also from

Thurso to John o' Groats, but are very limited in frequency.  


The nearest bus stop is at Skirza Road End, so the return walk 

to the shop is 3 miles.


We would advise careful planning and check with either :
