About Us
Your Perfect Highland Base
in the Heart of Sutherland
Nestled near the iconic Falls of Shin and just across the water from the historic Carbisdale Castle, our location offers a perfect base for exploring the stunning landscapes of the North Highlands and the rugged beauty of Scotland's northwest coast. Whether you’re looking to unwind, embark on outdoor adventures, or discover the region’s rich heritage, you’ll find our spot ideal for all of it.
We’re only a 50-minute drive from Inverness, making us an accessible yet peaceful getaway. As a family-run business, we take great pride in providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere where our guests feel like part of the community. For us, it’s not just about offering a place to stay – it’s about sharing our love for this beautiful area with you. Community is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re excited to have you experience all that Sutherland has to offer.
Adventure Awaits
Mountain Biking
We’re ideally situated between two fantastic, mountain biking trails: Balblair and Carbisdale. These routes are still relatively undiscovered by the masses, but are beloved by those who know them. And if you’re looking for more adventure, just a 30-minute drive brings you to Golspie, home of the famous Wolf Track.
Golf
For golf enthusiasts, we’re just a short drive away from the charming town of Dornoch, where you can play at the world-renowned Royal Dornoch Golf Course. If you're looking to explore more options, there are three more fantastic courses nearby in Tain, Golspie, and Brora. We also have a personal favorite – a delightful 9-hole course just five minutes away in Bonar Bridge. It's a hidden gem that Angus recommends you try!
Walking
Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just looking for a relaxing stroll, the surrounding area is filled with picturesque walks for all abilities. Ask at our reception for guides and maps, and we'll help you find the perfect trail.
Beaches
The North Highlands are home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland, from the expansive sandy shores of Dornoch to the breathtaking Achmelvich Beach on the west coast – just an hour’s drive from us. Whether you prefer a leisurely beach walk or a relaxing picnic by the sea, you won’t want to miss these stunning spots. And the best part? These beaches often feel like your own private paradise
We’re so glad to welcome you to our little corner of Scotland. As a family-run business, we truly care about our guests and the local community. It’s our mission to provide not just a place to stay, but a genuine experience that connects you with the beauty of the land, the spirit of the people, and the warmth of home. We hope you’ll feel the same way too.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
