A blissful break awaits at this airy, studio-style retreat, perfect for outdoor-loving couples and their hound. This luxury Highlands apartment is set in an enviable spot just half a mile from Loch Migdale. Nearby, take your pet around the picturesque Bonar Bridge & Ardgay Golf Club (1 mile) or join the popular Dornoch Firth trail (1.5 miles) for scenic walkies your dog will adore. After long days in the elements, return to base, resting your feet by the wood burner as you take in the stunning views.

Stylish and modern on the outside and inside, this charming abode combines luxury and comfort for a comfortable and pleasant stay. A grey and white colour scheme and quality wooden furniture create a contemporary feel, while its huge windows ensure you can enjoy the wow-factor views whether you’re reading in bed, watching the Smart TV, or chopping veg for dinner. A handy breakfast bar creates a social spot for eating or sipping coffee. When day turns to night, refresh in the walk-in shower, let Fido curl up by the wood burner, and retreat to the sumptuous king-size bed that awaits. Outside is wonderful for relaxing in the fresh air, with a covered yoga deck, picnic bench, BBQ and covered hot tub.

Nearby, take your pet for a runaround in the glorious Ledmore and Migdale Wood (2.5 miles), or walk or drive up to Dornoch Firth Viewpoint (5 miles) to lap up the panoramic views and fresh air. The peaceful Loch Fleet (14 miles) is a beautiful coastal reserve where you may spot seals, otters, and wading seabirds. For a day out by the sea, head to Dornoch (11.5 miles) for quirky shops, great eateries and a dog-friendly sandy beach.

Amazing location but beware of the road into the estate - currently in a really bad state with almost unpassable pot holes - not for the faint hearted. If you want peace, quiet, scenery to die for then this is the place.
