What a fantastic stay we had at this farmhouse. Stunning views, wildlife all around including deer in the garden most nights and seals in the loch just down the road. The house was lovely and warm even without the wood burner, although we put that to good use too. The house was lovely inside too with quality fixtures and fitting, premium bedding anRead mored towels. And a great location to explore the north coast of Scotland even over to John OGroats if you like. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend it Hide

A fabulous farmhouse in a stunning location. Relatively close to all the sites you want to visit. But also far enough away from everything to feel calm, quiet, peaceful and relaxed. Clean. Comfortable. Spacious for a family of 4 (or 2 couples). Definitely want to book this farmhouse again.
