A spacious four-bedroom cottage, perfect for larger families and friends seeking a relaxing base close to the beach from which to explore the rugged coastline of Sutherland.

This wonderful family home boasts stunning views over the estuary. From the elevated first floor lounge, you can watch the River Brora run into the North Sea, an unforgettable waterside view in the rugged Highlands. This functional home is perfect for family groups, offering two family rooms that are ideal for parents and young children, and plenty of space both indoors and outdoors ensures a comfortable stay for eight guests.

 

This cottage has been decorated throughout as a homely place to stay. Traditional country furniture, patterned soft furnishings and unique artwork add to the overall character of the place, but the cosy lived-in style ensures you feel instantly at home. The decor is primarily made up of clean whites and bright pastel shades, giving the property a light and airy feel and fitting in perfectly to its seaside surroundings.

 

Enter via the ground floor and find yourself instantly in the spacious kitchen. This room offers French doors that open out onto a sea view, allowing you to let a fresh sea breeze flow in on a warm day and still ensuring a pretty view even on colder days. Sit down to a casual breakfast or lunch at the kitchen table or make use of the space to pack a picnic for the day ahead. Evening meals can be enjoyed together in the dedicated dining room, which is equipped with a sociable round table. Two of the bedrooms can be found here on the ground floor, including one versatile family room sleeping three guests, ideal for a family with a young child.

 

Head upstairs to the first floor for an enjoyable space to relax. Putting the lounge on the first floor ensures wonderful sea views, creating a calming spot to unwind with a good book or sit down to a board game as a family. You may prefer to simply crash on the sofa and watch a DVD, energising for the day ahead. The remaining two twin bedrooms are here on the first floor and have unique vaulted ceilings.  

The garden can be found to the front of the property, accessible via the French door leading off the kitchen. Partly set to lawn and partly patio, this enclosed space is ideal for children to play. Relax on the lawn or dine alfresco at the picnic table. Be sure to find time for a BBQ throughout your stay, with the sound of waves and smell of sea salt filling the air around you. Those here on a sporting holiday can store equipment in the lockable garden shed.

Pull on your wetsuits for some body surfing and cast your line for sea-angling. Golf enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with 57 courses in the Highlands alone. Play a round on the James Braid designed links course at Brora Golf Club (0.5 miles) for a challenging game in a breathtaking setting. Mountain bikers should head to the Highland Wildcat Trails at Golspie (6 miles) which includes the longest descent in the UK from 1300m above sea-level. There are routes to suit all ages and abilities from novices to experienced riders, from scenic green trails through woodlands and low ground through to the fast descents and high jumps of the exhilarating black runs.

Absolutely stunning house and location we were lucky enough to witness storm Babet and the amazing waves it produced, the house was situated perfectly to see out to sea and the location of the living room really emphasises this

Stayed in this lovely house for a week at the end of August with my family, and it was absolutely perfect. The house could not be in a better location - fabulous sea views from the living room and the beach and mouth of the River Brora is literally right outside the door. It is very spacious and beautifully appointed, with comfortable beds, lovely Read morebathrooms and a great kitchen and dining area. Brora is a fantastic village and the area is stunningly beautiful. Cannot recommend highly enough ! Hide
