About this property
Whether you’re looking to enjoy breathtaking landscapes, outdoor activities or historic castles, this peaceful retreat in the heart of the Scottish Highlands is the ultimate getaway for a memory-making break with family and friends. From exploring historical landmarks to enjoying the region’s natural beauty, this scenic spot is perfectly placed for uncovering everything the Highlands has to offer, with some of the finest distilleries in Scotland in Glenmorangie, Balblair and Dalmore (all within 14 miles). Explore the old church ruins, enjoy the peaceful village atmosphere, and have a family picnic by the river in nearby Edderton (7 miles away) or board a boat trip along the Dornoch Firth (15 miles) to enjoy the fresh sea air and spot some local wildlife. Dornoch Beach is perfect for a day of sandcastle building, whilst Dunrobin Castle offers gardens and a falconry display to enjoy, both reached within 15 miles.
A grand entrance hallway, boasting a rich, regal colour palette and a lovely wood floor, welcomes you into this stunning retreat and offers plenty of space for coats and walking boots. Flooded with natural sunlight through the beautifully large bay window, the lounge has been designed with relaxation in mind, featuring a Smart TV and a roaring wood burner that beckon tired travellers to unwind after a busy day exploring the Highlands. The second lounge area is equally inviting, peaceful enough for you to sit back and unwind while planning your next expedition. At the heart of this holiday home, the spacious kitchen/diner has everything you need to get creative with cooking. A handy utility room completes the ground floor. Offering a variety of spectacular views overlooking the firth, the lake, and the courtyard, all eight bedrooms upstairs provide peace and tranquillity, with five of the bedrooms featuring contemporary en-suite facilities. There are five king-size bedrooms, two double bedrooms, and one bunk bedroom with a single trundle bed and an additional single pull-out bed (which can be made up on request) on offer to choose from. If you’ve still got plenty of energy left before bedtime, there are two game rooms featuring a pool table, table tennis and a dartboard to enjoy.
The extensive surrounding gardens offer a peaceful haven, from the large lawn and seating areas to the football pitch and golf driving practice area. There’s also a children’s play area, fire pit, and large pond to explore. Please note that peacocks wander the gardens, and children should be supervised around the large pond in the rear garden and the interlinking ponds in the front garden. Ample private parking is available
