Kennels Cottage
2 Bedrooms
Sleeps up to 4
Kennels Cottage is a charming detached property nestled in the heart of Dunrobin Home Farm. Just a 5-minute stroll from the iconic Dunrobin Castle – one of Scotland’s most spectacular landmarks – and 1.5 miles from the picturesque coastal village of Golspie with its stunning beach, Kennels Cottage offers a stylish, welcoming, and pet-friendly retreat.
Estate life
Once home to the Sutherland Estate’s gamekeepers and their families, this two-bedroom cottage seamlessly blends traditional character with modern comforts. Features such as crow-stepped gables, flagstone kitchen floors, and a cosy wood burning stove are complemented by WiFi, central heating, and touches of farmhouse chic throughout.
Accommodation
The spacious kitchen/diner is thoughtfully equipped with a freezer, dishwasher, and a nearby WC for convenience. Large patio doors lead to a delightful addition – a covered sitooterie! Perfect in any weather, this sheltered patio invites guests to relax, soak in the tranquil atmosphere, and enjoy the expansive skies of the North Highlands. Quiet moments here may reward you with sightings of ospreys, red deer, otters, or even nocturnal visitors like owls, bats, and the elusive Northern Lights.
The cosy sitting room is filled with natural light from its two windows, offering views across the communal Green and towards the wooded hills of Sutherland Estate. Gather around the woodburning stove with a dram from the nearby Glenmorangie Distillery as you plan your next adventure.
Upstairs, the cottage sleeps four across two tastefully furnished bedrooms, tucked under the eaves. The twin bedroom features a charming sash window with countryside views, while the double bedroom, with its Velux® windows, offers the chance to stargaze from the comfort of the luxurious double bed. A modern family bathroom completes the upstairs layout.
Outdoors
Outside, parking is conveniently located at the door, and Dunrobin Farm Green provides ample space for children to play, dogs to roam, and picnics to be enjoyed. Take a moment to sit beneath the weeping willow on the Green and admire the scenery.
Kennels Cottage is a delightful base for exploring the wonders of the North Highlands, whether you’re discovering the historic charm of Dunrobin Castle, wandering along Golspie’s sandy shores, or venturing into the breathtaking countryside that surrounds this enchanting property
