We had a wonderful, relaxing time at the Stable Bothy. Iona has thought of everything to make your stay perfect. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the views are stunning.

We enjoyed walking in the surrounding hills. We can recommend a visit to Dornoch and fish and chips from the Surf & Turf restaurant are a must. Also, The Pier at Lairg do great meals too.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review! I'm so pleased you had such a relaxing and restful stay at the bothy and enjoyed some nearby walks as well as some local dining. It was a pleasure to have you stay and I hope to welcome you back some other time for a little more r&r perhaps! With best wishes, Iona

We had such a lovely stay at The Stable Bothy. It was perfect for us — cosy, peaceful, with beautiful views and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Iona was very responsive and friendly, and made us feel truly welcome.

Tips for other travellers

We really enjoyed doing a local walk straight from the Bothy — the scenery is beautiful. We visited Lairg and had lunch at The Pier, which was great, and also did a long walk along Dornoch Beach, stopping at a local café for refreshments. There’s plenty to explore in the area. As we visited in February, some places were closed for the season, but we will definitely be back to explore the area more.
