Comfy, clean, relaxing
Very comfortable and welcoming, couldn't ask for more. Only drawback was the speed of traffic going past entrance and hedge blocking view on puling out onto onto one lane road

Rested for a week. Everything is very fine. A magnificent view of the sea bay. Walked with the children in the forest, which is a 5-minute walk from the house. Just great. Very quiet, calm, place. I recommend it to everyone.

Achnacarry, Lonemore, Dornoch
Achnacarry, Lonemore, near Dornoch. This is a very well equipped, clean and comfortable 2 bed (4 person) cottage a a real home from home. Quiet with superb views over the Dornoch Firth and plenty to do and see in the locale - woodland, beach or hill walking, lots of wildlife particularly birds, Golf, Dunrobin Castle and much more. We would definitely visit this property again. Many thanks.

Wonderful return!
Couldn’t wait to get back to this holiday home! There was a lovely gift waiting for us as well, which was a lovely surprise. We got here in time to see the pipers in Dornoch .. unfortunately they do not perform every Saturday as advertised!! What a disappointment, more than made up for by the view from the bungalow!! We had a great time doing all the things we didnt have time to do the last time. The weather was very kind to us as well, even managed to see a pair of golden eagles on our travels as well as red kites. We can recommend the Tomich Cafe, just off the main road as a great place to eat as well as Station 1864 in Tain, really enjoyed the food there! Another great holiday, shame it was only a week!
