A splendid modern conservatory with exposed beams and beautiful soft leather suites adds another dimension to this lovely traditional cottage and maximises the views from all directions. Ardachu is a small hamlet situated in the heart of Sutherland, one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of the Highlands. It is ideally located for exploring the whole of the region. Heading across to the west coast, breathtaking mountains are interspersed with lochs and rivers before reaching the crystal clear waters and the white shell sand bays of the Atlantic sea. Travel further north to explore the wild, rugged seascapes of Caithness. From here a day trip to the Orkney Isles is a must. To the south lies Inverness, the Capital city of the Highlands, which is within an hour's drive away.  The nearby town of Lairg sits on the edge of Loch Shin. It offers a good selection of small shops, restaurants, pub and cafe. There is also a fascinating visitor's centre and lovely walk by the side of the loch. The local area is home to an incredible array of wildlife, such as deer, otter and pine martins as well as a vast array of birds, including visiting osprey, golden eagles and buzzards. The area is also renowned for its outdoor pursuits. Spectacular mountain bike trails offer easy routes for beginners as well as extremely challenging ones for experienced riders - and all will appreciate the amazing views from the top! Fishing is second to none, with accessibility to some of the most prolific salmon rivers available by day ticket to visitors. There are also some lovely hill lochs for trout, and sea fishing is also a popular pastime. Non anglers will also be enchanted by a visit to the Fall of Shin. Just 10 minutes drive away; it is one of the few places to watch wild salmon close at hand, leaping up the dramatic falls. Golf, sailing, canoeing, riding, climbing, hill and forest walking are available in the region. Whilst dogs are welcome in the cottage there are also kennels available for visiting pets use.
