Apple Lodge
Apple Lodge is a lovely holiday home that the owners have worked wonders on, creating a brilliant place to spend a week or two. As soon as you arrive at the farm and pull up beside Apple Lodge, you’re in awe of the location and simply chuffed to be where you are. It gets better once you enter the property. Inside the attention to detail is second to none. The owners have thought of everything and you’ll feel comfortable in Apple Lodge as soon as you place your bags down. On your right after entering the front door there’s a fantastic bathroom with cubicle shower and heated towel rail. Beyond the bathroom along the hallway and also on the right is the kingsize double bedroom which enjoys glorious views. The same views are enjoyed from the open-plan living area, which has a fabulous triple-aspect space. The kitchen area has everything you will want and need when rustling up meals. The living space is the centre-piece with its brilliant wood burner. The dining area is very spacious with a table and chairs for four people. The views from the bedroom, kitchen/living/dining room and garden are honestly, outstanding.
You look across farmland to the Dornoch Firth and beyond to dramatic Sutherland coastline stretching north. Another thing you’ll immediately notice is how big the sky is at Apple Lodge. The Tarbat Peninsula is quite flat compared to its Highland surroundings, so this means that the sunrises and sunsets, the star gazing and also the Northern Lights in the winter are truly fantastic. At Apple Lodge, you’re only a mile from the the quaint fishing village Portmahomack. There’s a broad sandy Blue Flag beach stretching west from the village with multiple places to eat and drink in the village. Close by in Rockfield, a small single-street hamlet, is the home to 16th-century Ballone Castle. Beyond at the eastern end of the Tarbat Peninsula, about 3 miles from Portmahomack, is the striking, picture-perfect lighthouse of Tarbat Ness built in 1830. There’s a wonderful walk that starts and finishes in Portmahomack which showcases the local highlights.
You will want to explore this part of Scotland whilst staying at Apple Lodge and being close to the North Coast 500 touring route means you can easily access many world-famous sights, such as John O’Groats, Applecross and the Isle of Skye. You can have some big adventuring days and hold the knowledge of returning to lovely Apple Lodge to rest and recharge. Book this lovely holiday home and be happy at making an excellent choice! Beach 1 mile.
