This tranquil property is located in the Hamlet of Altnaharra, and only a 5 minute walk to the local hotel restaurant and pub.
Altnaharra is situated between the larger villages of Tongue, on the North Coast 500 route, and Lairg to the south where you can access the east and west coasts of Sutherland. You will be based right in the heart of Sutherland, the perfect location to climb the most northerly Munro’s of Ben Hope and Ben Klibreck or the smaller Corbetts of Ben Hee and Ben Loyal, also known as the queen of Scottish mountains. Spectacular views of these mountains and various freshwater lochs are on your doorstep along with wildlife such as red deer, ospreys and golden eagles. You can also view the Atlantic salmon leaping at the falls of Shin near Lairg.
Famous links golf courses such as Dornoch, Tain and Golspie along with the unique 9 hole courses of Bonar Bridge and Durness are all within an hour’s drive away. Durness is also the location of the spectacular Smoo Cave, a large sea and freshwater cave, and nearby is a thrilling zip line experience over one of the most beautiful beaches in the highlands. To the southeast lies Dunrobin Castle with its falconry displays and the whisky distilleries of Glenmorangie and Balblair where you can enjoy a tasting tour. Altnaharra is also a starting point of the Strathnaver Trail, which incorporates remains of settlements from the Highland Clearances, Iron Age brochs and other monuments, the trail finishes in the village of Bettyhill with a museum telling the stories of the people that once lived here.
