Stunning Highland retreat in peaceful glen near Dornoch

Welcome to Polgarrie, a charming Scottish stone house built in 1877, lovingly restored and thoughtfully extended to create a harmonious blend of tradition and modern comfort. Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Ross-shire and Sutherland, near the NC 500 route, this secluded retreat is perfect for families, golfers, couples, and creative souls seeking a peaceful getaway.

Step inside and feel instantly at home in the spacious, light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area. Prepare family meals in the modern, fully-equipped kitchen while soaking in stunning views through the grand double-height picture window. For those cozy, quiet evenings, retreat to the separate lounge, where a crackling open fire and classic Scottish ambiance await, perfect for movie nights or board games with loved ones.

Upstairs, unwind in one of two inviting bedrooms, another at ground floor, two of which are beautifully furnished with Victorian touches, capturing the timeless spirit of the Highlands. With a family bathroom upstairs and a convenient shower room on the ground floor, everyone can refresh with ease. Stay connected with complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the house, and let your creativity flow in the tranquil study, where panoramic views will surely inspire writers, artists, and dreamers alike.

Outside, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the outland Highlands. The large garden is perfect for picnics under leafy canopies or alfresco dining on long summer evenings. Badminton games for the kids. Set off from the doorstep for invigorating hikes, spot native birds fluttering through the trees, or wild life and simply relax and soak in the serene surroundings.

Explore the rich heritage of the area with nearby beaches, ancient castles, and the iconic Dornoch Firth just 15 minutes away. Golf enthusiasts will find themselves spoiled for choice, with six superb courses within a short 10 to 20-minute drive—perfect for perfecting your swing amidst spectacular Highland backdrops, or tasting the three nearby whisky stills.
