The Rovie Estate cottages are in Sutherland, and Sutherland is a name that, to a Scot anyway, immediately evokes all that is best in the Scottish Highlands! The grandeur of the mountains - the wild rocky coasts sheltering white sandy beaches - salmon jumping the waterfalls - golden eagles patrolling great forests - the Monarch of the Glen at his glorious best .......... these are all Sutherland as we think of it.

The Rovie Estate has five stone-built traditional cottages just halfway between the sandy coast/famous Golf Links of Dornoch on the A9 and the small town of Lairg on Loch Shin - and while from Lairg it is easy to visit the extreme north-west headland of Scotland at Cape Wrath (plus Lochniver and Ullapool); the A9 gives access to John O' Groats on the extreme north-east, allowing day-trips to Orkney. 

For those who want to fish, the Estate has three hill lochs with indigenous brown trout, and four miles of private salmon-fishing on the River Fleet (spate river) available by prior arrangement; miles of wonderful walking amongst many varieties of rare flora and fauna recognised and protected by The Nature Conservancy as a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest'; while for the historian there are the remains of a Celtic settlement nearby. Ambitious young Klondikers can try panning for gold at Kildonan; there is an indoor swimming-pool at Golspie - and the Glenmorangie Distillery at Tain invites you to taste the local brew. All the cottages are modernised, high standard and very comfortable; and all have the use of two laundry rooms with coin-operated washing-machines and tumble-driers.

Heating in most of the cottages is by open-fire with electric CH in the bedrooms and one night-store heater in the hall (£15 electricity INCLUDED).  Bed-linen & towels are available for hire. Pets are welcome.
