Set right on the rugged North Coast 500 in Sutherland, this welcoming Highland home is the perfect base for golf, coastal walks beyond your door, and fairy-tale castle sightseeing. It's exactly the kind of place you'd want to return to after a day out, dram in hand and wild seaside views all around. Just 25-minutes away, Dornoch is home to the world-renowned Royal Dornoch Golf Club, while the North Coast 500 leads north through Scotland's most dramatic landscapes. Food lovers are well catered for too, with Michelin dining and the region's best seafood nearby. Just pack your hiking boots and golf clubs.
