A beautiful cottage. Had everything that you needed. Very comfortable and relaxing. Fantastic view over the Dornoch Firth. Only five minutes in the car into Dornoch and another five to the beach. Our dog loved the cottage, garden and the beach. Would definitely recommend it, and hope to go back again.

Well equipped and comfortable holiday home. Quiet location about a mile from Dornoch itself. There is a wood that is ideal for exercising your dog a further mile down the road. There is access to the bay through the local caravan park although cows can be an obstacle.Dornoch itself is charming and tidy with some good shops.The area is a good base to explore the nearby highlands. Can recommend “The Pier” in Lairg for lunch.
