About this property
Glenmuir Cottage is a charming, stone-built property tucked away in the coastal resort of Durnoch, enjoying the rich heritage and wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands. This traditional cottage is well-suited to families, couples and groups of friends looking to rest and explore all the wonders this area has to offer, in a town that is full of history and culture. Make the most of the big outdoors, with its golden beaches, golf courses and historical sights, tied together with stunning landscape scenery, and return to this cosy base nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, down a single-track lane. Spend your down time in the sociable open-plan living room and sink into the sofas before the open fire, or gather around the dining table for a hearty meal cooked up from the fully appointed kitchen. When you are fully relaxed and the evening draws to a close, head up the stairs to find two family bedrooms, each with a double and single bed along with ample storage space and sloping ceilings adding character. Use the large, lawned garden to the front of the cottage for sunny picnics while the kids play on the grass, and unwind with a chilled drink as you discuss your plans for the day ahead. Dornoch has many local eateries, pubs and shops, as well as the Royal Durnoch golf course, which was voted the fifth best outside of the United States. Spend a day at the Blue Flag beach with your loved ones, with its sheltering dunes and glistening shores, which are perfect for paddling and swimming. Alternatively, take a trip up to Dunrobin Castle, for a lovely day out uncovering its hidden treasures and strolling its enchanting gardens. There is also wildlife watching and cycling in the area and further afield you have the vibrant city of Inverness, with its Old Town, impressive cathedral and so much more to see and do. This is the ideal getaway for a well-earned break to Scotland. EPC Rating: Band E

Situated in a quiet location but only a few minutes walk to all the amenities of Dornoch . Thoughtful touches by owner, from tissues in bedrooms to fresh flower posy , tea tray set and the best welcome pack to greet our arrival . An excellent stay in this beautiful area.
