Escape to this charming property that sits close to the riverside at Helmsdale, a sleepy Highland Village renowned for salmon fishing. Sleeping seven humans and one hound, your accommodation has seriously impressive views and ample space for Rover to snooze. The local landscape has more beauty spots to discover than you can shake a stick at, plus the marvellous coastline has so many pup-approved beaches that Fido won’t know what to do with himself.
Retreat from the elements and hunker down inside, watching your favourite films from the comfort of the snug or gathered together in the lounge with scenic rural views. There’s also a conservatory to relax in with your morning coffee, and in the evening the dining area is a treat for playing games around the table. The stylish kitchen is home to a wonderful breakfast bar – put the range of appliances to the test. At bedtime, the four bedrooms are split between the ground floor and first floor, all sharing the marvellous bathrooms and shower rooms. The garden isn’t enclosed and has a low boundary wall so beware of curious hounds when outside.
In a delightful rural location, this retreat is perfectly placed for exploring the outdoors, whether you are heading to the dog-friendly beaches close by or spending the day navigating the countryside and rounding off with some delicious local scran. Helmsdale Beach is within 0.5 miles, acting as the starting point for coastal walks and seal spotting as you scamper across sand, shingle, sand dunes and splash in the Moray Firth. The Strath of Kildonan offers endless scope for adventure, and if fishing is your thing, the River Helmsdale has a very promising reputation.
