We had a great time at Sluice Keepers Cottage however the road can be noisy during the day but the cottage is blissfully quiet at night and that is the main thing. Lovely views over Loch Fleet with a great variety of birds to watch. The cottage is really well equipped and very comfortable. Lots of places to visit in the area and a great Sunday roast can be had at The Stags Head in Golspie with very friendly staff. The Milk and Honey cafe in Dornoch is another must for lovely food and great service.

Love at first sight is an overused phrase. But for us seeing the cottage in the distance as we drove across the Mound on the A9, it really was. The cottage was perfect in every sense. Cozy, comfortable and set with stunning views all around. The owner has equipped with everything you need to make this a perfect holiday home and the bonus of very comfortable beds at the end of the day. There are so many great walks in the area that coming back to the fantastic hot tub makes it all worth while. Communication with the owner was first rate, who answered any questions we had quickly and diligently. I really cant recommend a stay at the Sluice Keepers Cottage enough. An added bonus for us was that we saw our first Otter and also several sightings of the amazing Ospreys. I never got tired of sitting on the seat outside the cottage viewing the Loch and all its wildlife. Do yourself a favour if your in need of a recharge. Travel North and stay here. Fantastic.
