Big Barns Cottage is up in Golspie. It's part of a big old house that was done up in the 1800s. You've got your own door to get in.
It sleeps four. Two bedrooms upstairs, one double and one with twins. One bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's full of old things and the floors are flagstone. There's a wood burner for cooler nights. The kitchen is small, but it's got everything you need.
You get your own bit of garden, with a table and chairs. The main garden is two acres with all sorts of plants and some woodland. You'll often see deer around. The beach is about a mile's walk. You can see seals sometimes.
It's down a track, about a mile off the main road, so it's quiet. The views from upstairs look over the garden to the sea and across the Dornoch Firth to the Cairngorms.
The North Coast 500 route is just a mile away if you want to drive that. Golspie and Brora are ten minutes by car for shops, food, and a pub. Dunrobin Castle is nearby, it's got those spires and formal gardens.
For walks, you can just go straight out from the cottage into the woods. There's golf, fishing, and a few distilleries within half an hour.
Facilities: there's a washing machine, wifi, TV, parking. Bedding and towels are included. We have a cot and highchair. You can bring up to two dogs.
