Feel your body relax as you sink into the warmth of the hot tub while gazing at the sea views from this idyllic couple’s bolthole tucked away in the Scottish Highlands. The remote and wild setting of this lodge makes it perfect for dog parents seeking adventure and tranquillity, with abundant scenic hiking trails and coastline on the doorstep.
As you enter this quirky wooden lodge, you’ll be won over by its crisp, contemporary interiors and semi-circular glass look out which offers sea views from the plush lounge area. Snuggle up beside the wood burner your four-pawed friends curl up on the rug. Muster up a romantic dinner for two in the sleek, dark and wooden farmhouse-style kitchen with sleek hanging lighting and a breakfast bar to dine at. The king-size bedroom is decorated with neutral tones and a splash of pink. There is also a shower room with an anti-mist mirror and automatic lighting. Outside is a decked area with a fire pit, furniture and hot tub for an evening under the stars.
Soak up the views of the sea as you explore cliffside walking trails from the lodge during your stay on a farm near the small rural village of Nigg (2 miles). Discover the historical Nigg Stone in the village and take your hounds for a run around the RSPB Nigg Bay (3 miles). Spend a day on the beach with a picnic at Portmahomack (14.5 miles) or Balintore (7 miles). Set tails wagging on a ferry journey to Cromarty (3 miles) – where you can stop at the quaint cafe, bakery, brewery or museum. Stroll around Loch Eye (11 miles) and visit the red and white Tarbat Ness Lighthouse (17.5 miles).
