About the host
Hosted by Gareth Townend
Having spent a lot of my life in Dornoch our small family currently live in Cumbria, running a small business and in our spare time enjoying sailing, biking and hiking.
It's a real pleasure having guests stay in the house so we can share the experience of being at the fantastic cottage. The feedback we receive is great and motivates us to keep investing and improving, with the aim to clearly be the best place to stay in the area for people wanting a old character property of this size.

Why they chose this property
Dornoch is a wonderful place to visit and a real jewel of the Highlands. There isn't another town this far North that offers such a quality experience.
As well as famously being home to one of the best golf courses in the world which is now over 400 years old, Dornoch is a great base to explore from. Some of our favourite walks are the local beach walks, forest trails, Struie Hill & a pilgrimage up to see Duke of Sutherland (statue) in Golspie.
Handmade products, whisky and fabrics can be found on a potter around the shops, but you can easily just lose days relaxing at the house.

What makes this property unique
School Hill Croft is unique in it's fabulous location, offering and unrivalled position slightly elevated with uninterrupted views of the cathedral and town skyline. With the South West facing private garden and all rooms having here's not another property available for rent we are aware of that compares.
The croft is steeped in history, being almost 200 years old the building was built by The Duke of Sutherland and has a fantastic blend of original features as well as newer ones. Bakelite switches throughout give a traditional look and offer a lovely satisfying click when used. Slate floors, open stone wall in the lounge, feature sword, bedrooms in the eves, window seats in the kitchen and loinge. The list is endless and high percentage of returning guests pay tribute to the character and quality of the croft.
