Watten is a small hamlet in Caithness, Scotland, in the country's far north. It is a rural area with small single-track roads connecting villages. Watten is well-known for its large loch, which is teeming with brown trout, and is located between the bustling towns of Thurso and Wick. Permits can be obtained locally during the fishing season. The busy local pub/restaurant 'The Brown Trout,' as well as a Post Office, can be found in the small village. The area is ideal for walkers, cyclists, and wildlife watchers, and it is convenient for shopping and dining in Wick.

The kitchen has been modernised, the bathroom was a good standard and the beds were comfortable. Especially because of the complete darkness at night, it allowed for a good sleep. Overall it was like staying in a Grandmother's cottage, but with modern conveniences.

The cooker was very dated and dangerous as the hot plates did not light up, therefore they could look off but still be hot, the grill did not show red either. The lack of a bulb in the outside light fitting was also dangerous as the two very steep steps down to the garden are very slippery, so night time was a hazard.
