Have a ball as a family or with your other half, including furry friends, at this quaint two-bed lodge by the entrance to a private estate near Ardgay in The Scottish Highlands. With all the accommodation on one level and an enclosed garden, children and dogs can play safely, although canine companions will just have to watch as you enjoy an al fresco soak in the private wood-fired hot tub whilst admiring the stunning views beyond.
Leave your muddy boots and outdoor gear in the handy porch after a long day’s exploring before letting your sleeping dogs lie in comfort by the cosy wood burner in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. You can cook up a storm here, eat at the charming drop-leaf table before reclining on the sofa. The downstairs has practical wood flooring – useful just in case there are any damp paws! And, with one king-size and one twin bedroom, it’s the ideal bolthole for one couple or a small family and their faithful friend.
Enjoy the wealth of peaceful walking and cycling on offer in this forested countryside near the Kyle of Sutherland. After you’ve been out for walkies, jump in the car as you can cover the NC500 route from here at your leisure. Do it all in stages or pick your own highlights for day trips. Picturesque Bonar Bridge is 2.5 miles away with a selection of shops and cafes. Back at base, your whole group can enjoy BBQs year-round in the quirky BBQ hut. Don’t forget to leave a sausage as a treat for well-behaved hounds!
