About this property
On an elevated position overlooking The Highlands, Sealladh Mor is a detached, single-storey cottage on the outskirts of Rogart, Sutherland. Sealladh Mor translates to Big View in Gaelic, and it certainly does live up to it with panoramic view of the beautiful Scottish Highlands from the doorstep. The cottage is a welcoming base for two couples or a group of four to explore a breath-taking region of Scotland, complete with a hot tub, utility and woodburning stove. Park up in the off-road parking space and take a moment to admire the sweeping countryside views of your rural retreat. Step inside to find a reception area with hooks for coats and a bench to take your boots off and make yourself at home; your first stop will surely be the kitchen/diner to pop the kettle on, stock up the cupboards and get ready to rustle up home-cooked meals using the contemporary facilities. Set the dining table for four and enjoy a meal together with views out to the mountains, or why not open the French doors to let the outside in? There's a decking area and lawn to make the most of your idyllic holiday setting, whether that's a cold glass of wine at sunset, reading in the sunshine or sinking into the hot tub for the ultimate de-stress. If you're visiting in the colder months, a spacious sitting room offers a sofa, two chairs, a Smart TV and woodburning stove to snuggle up after the day's adventures; you'll still get fabulous views from the large windows for a bright and airy space to relax on your holiday. Extra seating can be found in the snug with a Smart TV to savour some peace and quiet! After trekking The Highlands and wandering the countryside, throw muddy walking gear into the utility's laundry facilities, before hanging your towel on the family bathroom's heated towel rail and enjoying a soak in the bath or a hot shower. Two well-appointed bedrooms await sleepy heads, one of which has a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room for added privacy. Get to know your surroundings by venturing into the open countryside or joining the Highland Wild Cat Trails, which have been designed for all levels of experience with different routes suitable for families and novices through to more technical trails for experienced mountain bikers. Also nearby is the Ben Bhraggie Monument Walk, which offers picturesque views over the coastline on your walk up to the summit. Take the scenic drive into the village of Golspie, a lovely coastal resort that offers a bustling high street and excellent local amenities, including a number of eateries and a long sandy beach, which provides superb angling opportunities. Those avid golfers will enjoy a round at the Golspie Golf Club, offering a great mix of links and parkland, while history buffs will be drawn to the Dunrobin Castle and Gardens, an imposing structure with a museum and falconry. Translating in Gaelic to 'pebbly place', Dornoch is a delightful seaside resort in the North of Scotland, and is just 14 miles away,It is a beautiful town with so much to see and do, it is full of history and culture. Dornoch is home to a 13th century Cathedral and a majestic castle and has a golf course that was voted the 5th best outside of the U.S. Aside from the beauty and history, Dornoch has so much to do with a good range of pubs, bars and shops to go around and enjoy at your leisure.

Julie
We spent 2 weeks here and had the best time ever! Itâs a perfect base for exploring the northern highlands & everything this area has to offer. The property was spotless, comfortable and our dogs Olive & Freya loved the enclosed garden. The hot tub was a perfect end to the day after waking & exploring for miles. The hosts are very helpful and friendly but never intrusive. The wildlife is on the doorstep, we saw so much. On a clear night the night sky is amazing. Epic view from the house and the sunsets were something else. Weâve been visiting the highlands every year for the past 15 years and this was the best one yet, we will definitely be returning. Itâs an amazing location and a fantastic home, just perfect. Highly recommended

The house is beautifully appointed with everything you need and is immaculately clean - the beds very comfortable. You can sit in the hot tub and either admire the daytime view or the stars at night - we were lucky enough to see the northern lights too. The garden is large and secure and our dogs had a wonderful time - we could sit outside and relax watching them play or explore. Weâre definitely going back

It was so comfortable, with everything we could possibly ever need, including a great enclosed garden for our 2 dogs. My husband said it's the best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in, and we've stayed in some amazing ones!
