Property code: OC-86104

Make your great escape to the north of Scotland and take two dogs with you to enjoy the great beauty of the Highlands. Set in Sangomore, and looking out in the direction of Sango Bay, the two-bedroom property sleeps four guests and also welcomes a duo of dogs. Ideal for anyone keen to discover the dramatic beauty of this Scottish coastline and to watch their faithful friends race across the white sands of Balnakeil, 1.5 miles away, or the beautiful beach at Ceannabeinne, 3 miles away, the cottage also has an enclosed garden.

Let yourselves into this former steading and head into the lounge with your pups at your heel. Settle in here to take in the gorgeous vistas or to watch a film on the SkyTV while your contented canines doze in the warmth of the wood burner. Open the doors on warm evenings so they can wander out into the fresh air. When mealtimes beckon, make your way into the kitchen/diner to prepare food for people and pups, and find a handy washing machine for doggy towels after wet walks. Watch another Smart TV in here as you gather around the table. There is also a downstairs shower room with WC. Venture upstairs to two super-king-size bedrooms, which can be arranged as twins if required. Both have doors onto balconies with glass balustrades, as well as SkyTVs and en-suite shower rooms. Dine outside on warm days while your four-legged friends enjoy the enclosed garden. There is parking for two cars.

Walk just 1 mile from the house to dog-friendly Smoo Cave to see the natural sea cavern and a 25-metre-high waterfall. Enjoy a 6.5-mile circular walk, starting from Balnakeil Church, 1.5 miles away, and crossing the stunning Kyle of Durness.

Fantastic property. Inside has been decorated superbly and feels like a home from home. The small details really made us feel special such as the fresh milk and the toiletries. A bonus was the bed just happened to be the comfiest bed on the plant !
