KILDONAN (NEAR HELMSDALE) - SUTHERLAND

Commanding superb views of Helmsdale River and the surrounding countryside in a wonderfully remote location, this detached stone cottage (1880) was formerly the shepherd’s home, standing in 2000 sq. metres of enclosed land planted with trees and shrubs. Fully renovated, the cottage is compact, well-maintained and comfortably furnished. The bedrooms are small with quite low coombed ceilings. This is ’golden eagle’ country and there should be opportunities to spot some of Scotland’s rare and varied wildlife. There are lovely walks, river and loch fishing, sea angling at Helmsdale, a 9 hole golf course nearby and even gold panning! Shops 9 miles in Helmsdale. 1 double and 2 single bedrooms (cot and high chair available); sitting room with open fire, dining room with beamed ceiling and solid fuel stove, modern fitted kitchen, bathroom, entrance porch. All electric plus open fire. Fridge, freezer, freeview television, payphone. Bed linen and towels can be hired.
