Uninterrupted sea views on NC500

Chandan KumarRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Can’t describe how beautiful the location is . The house is so beautiful and the view is breathtaking . We were welcomed by golden rays of sun and a rainbow . Sarah is the loveliest and warmest person I have ever met . She personally helped us know everything about the house. The kitchen is very well equipped. Kids room was so much fun with colourful lights , they had so much fun. Due to lack of time we couldn’t enjoy the hot tub and many more things like walking down the shore or the area. We just laid down and soaked in as much as we could. Overall this stay was amazing and definitely made our NC500 memorable.

Excellent decor. You can tell they have refurbished. Quiet,friendly fishing village. Co-op close by. Open til 10. Need to update directions for using stove. First time visitors might not know how to lock doors. Must eat at Mirage. Might leave a plug for US electronics. Nice touch with milk and bread. Perfect place for 2 or 3 golfers. Near Brora and Dornoch. Would definitely stay there again.

Ashcroft

LisaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Sara was always very responsive with messages. On our arrival we were warmly welcomed by Sara and her Husband - as well as a very good looking rooster in the driveway. The bedroom and bathroom for our use were huge and the bed very comfortable. We wanted to leave early the next morning and Sara was very accommodating with having fresh coffee and pastries ready for our departure. Couldn’t have asked for a lovelier host.
