  • "What a stunning place to stay - the directions are great and when you arrive the view takes your breath away!"

    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. We’re definitely going back

  • "A wonderful property with everything you could need for a fabulous stay."

    We spent 2 weeks here and had the best time ever! It’s 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. We’ve been visiting the highlands every year for the past 15 years and this was the best one yet, we will definitely be returning. It’s an amazing location and a fantastic home, just perfect. Highly recommended

  • "What a wonderful property!"

    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!

  • "This property is finished to a very high spec, everything is well finished and presented."

    The beds and soft furnishings are very comfortable. Had a wonderful stay for my husband's 50th birthday. Hosts, Grant and Ange were lovely, very helpful and on hand but never intrusive. The hot tub was a lovely way to relax after a day of sightseeing and the view is absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage. The only thing to be aware of, if you have dogs, is that they aren't allowed on the furniture or in the bedroom which I must have missed when reading the information but this is just a personal thing, not a bad reflection on this property. A special place to stay

  • "The cottage was clean and tidy and had everything necessary for a relaxing home from home break in the countryside."

    The view is magnificent and the fact that the area surrounding the property is completely fenced in makes it ideal for allowing the dogs complete freedom to run around and enjoy themselves. The hot tub was an added bonus and was used most evenings even although the weather was pretty grim. I would definitely recommend staying at Sealladh Mor and would book again without hesitation.

  • "We had a great holiday at this property."

    The house was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. The facilities at the house were first class and the hot tub was the “cherry on top”. The location was great for trips to the many seaside towns in the area and for country walks with our dog. And that view from the house and garden just has to be seen to be believed!! We spoke with Grant the owner a few times and he was very nice, helpful and accommodating. The welcome pack was a nice touch and appreciated. Although we had a mixed bag of weather it didn’t dampen our enjoyment of the house in the slightest. When it was wet and miserable outside the log burner fire and comfortable lounge were so relaxing and when it was warm and nice outside the garden furniture and that view really were worth the drive alone. Would highly recommend this lovely, spacious and private property to anyone and will definitely be looking to go again sometime in the future.

The 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.

Of course you cannot forget the beautiful sandy Dornoch beach.If you’re looking to escape normal life for a calming retreat to the Scottish Highlands, look no further than Sealladh Mor.

About the location

ROGART

Golspie 9.5 miles; Brora 14.6 miles.

The small village of Rogart lies in the county of Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. The village is known for once being the home to Major Andrew MacDonald, who fought into the French and Indian War. The village is also home to the Rogart Railway station, which has become something of an informal outdoor museum of railway memorabilia. Within the village, there is a convenience store, petrol station, a Parish church and a traditional Scottish pub. The nearby coastal village of Golspie is well worth a visit, offering a long sandy beach, which attracts many visitors in all weather conditions, along with a thriving high street lined with independent businesses, restaurants, pubs and cafés. Rogart makes a charming base for touring this beautiful part of Scotland.
