Red Squirrel

Red Squirrel is a quaint family lodge nestled in the seaside town of Dornoch, in the Highlands of Scotland. Surrounded by idyllic countryside views, this property sleeps six, has off-road parking, and offers a tranquil break from the hustle and bustle of city life for family, friends, and a well-behaved pet.

Step into the property to find a spacious open-plan living space with a dining table perfect for a night of board games, an electric fire to cosy up next to and a Smart TV. In the fully-equipped kitchen, you’ll be able to wow your fellow travellers with the meals you whip up.

When the sun is shining, make use of the wrap around patio and rear garden where you can soak in the hot tub or have a feast with the BBQ grill. As the evening winds down, destress in the family bathroom with its large walk-in shower, and catch your rest in either a twin room, a double room, or a double with handy en-suite.

If you don’t feel like cooking, within walking distance you’ll find the town of Dornoch where you can have a hearty meal at Coach House Bar & Restaurant, visit Jail Dornoch to buy some souvenirs, channel your inner Tiger Woods at the Royal Dornoch golf Club. If the weather allows, don your bathing suit and head over to Dornoch Beach, with its beautiful views and coastal walks.

For even more adventurous fun, make your way to Portmahomack where you can visit the Tarbat Discovery Centre Museum, enjoy stunning coastal views at Tarbat Ness Lighthouse, and if you’re lucky enough, you can say hello to the dolphins at Portmahomack Dolphin Viewpoint. A scenic drive from the property will take you to Inverness, where you can marvel at the carp pond, waterfalls, and tropical flowers of Inverness Botanical Gardens.
