We had a really relaxing stay at the cottage. It’s super cosy and well kitted out, plus the fact we could bring our 5 dogs was a huge bonus-hard to find places that accept so many! The secure dog area and plenty of hooks made it easy. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a day exploring. Truly a peaceful getaway!

Smoo Cave is a popular attraction which can be enjoyed all year round but visitors should wrap up warm during the winter months.  This spectacular limestone sea-cave in Sutherland is the largest in Britain and is simply spectacular. The cave was formed by a burn that runs down into the rear chamber, as well as erosion caused by the sea. Guests can take the path from the car park which runs right through the cave. Boat trips are available in the summer months and are an excellent way to fully appreciate the cave from all angles.
