Sutherland, in the far north of Scotland, is a beautiful region of mountains, wild rocky coasts and white sandy beaches.  Salmon leap in the rivers, eagles soar above the great forests, herds of deer drift across the hillsides and you can go for miles without seeing another soul.    It is here you will find the Rovie Estate, which offers three 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, from which 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.

Stables Cottage has its own enclosed patio and garden to the rear and faces on to a courtyard.  In additional to the comfortable open plan living area which has a wood burning stove; there is a large double bedroom with king size bed and en suite facilities and a further double bedroom downstairs and a twin bedroom upstairs.

The Estate can arrange fishing for both trout or salmon on the River Fleet. There are 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  you can visit the distilleries at Tain and Brora and sample the local brew. 

 
The cottage has been refurbished and all three on the Estate have the use of two laundry rooms with coin-operated washing machines and tumble-driers.
Heating is by open-fire with electric CH in the bedrooms and  night-store heater in the hall (Electricity INCLUDED).  Bed-linen & towels are INCLUDED.  Pets are welcome by arrangement.  Sorry, no smoking within the cottage.
