Most people pass through this area, but they should stay as it has so much to offer - sandy beaches, hill and valley walks, rocky coasts, artisan goods (pottery, textiles, glass), excellent food, heritage, wildlife (seals, ospreys, marsh harriers, and so much more!) There was a bit of confusion with the owners about which property we have actually booked, but that was all sorted ok. Could have done with better information about what was provided (e.g. no salt and pepper).

Well equipped, warm and cosy cottage. Loved the log burner on chilly nights. We had a relaxing holiday and coming back to the lovely cottage after a day out made for a fabulous holiday .

We enjoyed our stay and found it to be just pure quiet enjoyment. The barn had everything you will need for a wonderful holiday including a fireplace that gave some wonderful ambiance. The barn is located close to Dornoch, which is a fantastic city to explore for golf, history, shopping and dining. You really feel that you are in the Highlands at this stay.

The barn is the most warm , welcoming ,comfy,cosy,place on the planet . It’s like going home . Absolutely everything you could possibly need is there for you. It is clean, comfortable, so peaceful. If you need somewhere to relax and get away from everything then this is the place to be. Charmain the caretaker is wonderful, she is always on hand and no problem is to big for her. She makes the cottage welcoming and she goes the extra mile to sort things out straight away, no messing. Can’t wait to return next year. Thankyou for letting us stay.

Great location, lovely comfortable barn.

Although very rural, the barn is only a short drive to everything you want to see. We went to Dornoch, Loch Ness and John O'Groats etc. The barn is very clean and has comfortable beds, a great shower, a good TV and plenty of kitchen essentials. We met the caretakers once and they were lovely.

Had a wonderful relaxing time at this property. Everything is as it is show in the pictures with some upgrades i.e bigger TV, Tassimo Machine. Very clean and cosy. Definitely home from home and would highly recommend if you are happy not having WiFi or phone signal which we where. If I had to mark it out of 10, I would mark it as a 9.75 due to their only being a fridge and not fridge freezer. We are looking on returning next year.

A great week in a rustic cottage

We had a great week at the property. In a beautiful location, remote enough to get away from everything, but only 10 mins from Dornoch with restaurants, shops and a beautiful beach. It’s also close to distilleries and on the NC500. Kitchen was well stocked and Charmagne was responsive and helpful with any issues. There really is no WiFi or phone signal, so if you want to stay connected it’s not ideal. But was just what we wanted.

The Barn was wonderful in a nice remote locate which was what we were looking for. Lovely fireplace that was already prepared for the first fire was nice touch. Great place to sit at night and read or talk with a whiskey. Heaters on timers so a bit chilly in the morning but refreshing at the same time. The road leading to the Barn is a narrow road with many passing places and lots of farms, we did see quite a few "Hairy Heilan coos" on the way to the barn. Dornoch, Golspie and Tain are all very close and there is grocery store in Dornoch that had everything we needed. Inverness is only about 50 minutes away if you want tours (which we did to Isle of Skye on WOW tours) or larger scale shopping. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return if we are back in this area. PS - Only minor issue was the noise from the bathroom which would make short blasts of noise at all hours, didn't really bother us but if you are a light sleeper just a heads up.

The barn could be so much more

The barn could be so much more

We did enjoy the Highland holiday and made the most of the spectacular scenery but sadly we're disappointed in the standard of the barn such as being cold we used a spare quilt from upstairs bed and wasn't very clean with mould on saucepans.. The curtains were very crumpled and creased. With a little tlc the barn could be something special. We made the most of it though and were thankful for plentiful hot water and such tranquil surroundings and perfect weather.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The property is only 5/6 minutes drive from Dornoch and is well fitted out with a nice bathroom and kitchen. I was especially happy with the tranquility. It is situated on a quiet road and you don't have the noise of cars that is so often in the background in the cities. We will be sure to come back...

We had the most wonderful holiday and found the cottage was ideal for exploring nearby Dornoch, Loch Ness and the Highlands countryside. The cottage was really cosy with the log fire being the highlight. Cottage had everything we needed including a fully equipped kitchen for us to do all our own cooking. The surrounding area is stunning with lots of wildlife to keep us entertained. Highly recommended. We hope to be back again soon.

Quaint and quiet, ideal for the holiday where you just want to be away from it all.

I found my overall stay very pleasant. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, it was very relaxing to be in a quiet almost secluded area of the Scottish countryside. The barn itself was very lovely, quaint and cosy where it had most of the modern conveniences readily at hand. The only issue was that there was a lack of signal for our phones but in the grand scheme of things, it's not much to moan about. Only located a few miles from the town of dornoch itself, it's a quick drive to a lovely, friendly town with a lovely beach. I would definitely recommend another stay here.

The cottage is situated in a wonderful and quiet area in a beautiful setting. Everything is there to enjoy a wonderful holiday. You have to do everything by car, there is no shop or restaurant in the vicinity of the cottage. There are beautiful walks in the area and Dornoch is lovely. Unlike the description there is no Wifi and very poor telephone connection, keep that in mind. We had a great holiday there.

Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft mit tollen Ausflugszielen im direkten Umfeld

Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen hier sollte man auf jeden Fall mit dem Auto oder auch Motorrad anreisen. Es gibt reichlich Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für den täglichen Bedarf die in 10 Minuten Fahrzeit zu erreichen sind. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und der Ofen hat uns nur manche kühle Nacht in den Highlands behaglich gemacht Die Küche ist sehr gut und vollständig ausgestattet und wenn man man ein Anliegen hat kann man jederzeit die Housekeeper erreichen die auch in unmittelbarer Nähe wohnen.

Das Haus ist sehr sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Es liegt in einer ruhigen Lage. Die Haushälterin und ihr Mann sind sehr nette Menschen und helfen gern. Sehenswürdigkeiten wie auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Dornoch liegt an der North Road 500 und ist damit ein prima Startpunkt.
