“The owners have created a luxurious cottage in the country side.”

The location provides wonderful vistas of the rolling hills, but is not far from towns, beaches, golf courses, river and forest walks. This is one of the best cottages we have experienced. The cottage, the facilities and wonderful owner exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this to couples and families with dogs.

“On arrival, the fire was lit and we met the owner who gave us some great information on the local area along with a map of places that are worth visiting.”

The location is absolutely stunning and the wildlife around the area kept us entertained every day. Buzzards, Red Kites and the name sake, Kestrels, were seen regularly on a daily basis. The cottage is stunning. An excellent conversion, very comfortable with everything you need for your holiday. The hot tub was also a hit. I would recommend the cottage to everyone. Thank you.

“What a wonderful place Kestrel Cottage is!”

Outstanding setting, beautifully restored and everything thought of. Mackie contacted us before we arrived so we had all the details, the fire was on when we got there, hot tub ready and an amazing welcome pack! The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything (and more) than we needed. Whilst Sutherland is brilliant for a holiday, this cottage really made it for us, a real home away from home. We got stuck in an Amber weather warning one day, and were blissfully unaware snuggled up in the warmth and comfort of Kestrel cottage - what a place, can’t recommend enough - thank you!!

“Dear Kestrel Cottage Team thanks a lot for the friendly welcome and hospitality during our stay.”

This Cottage is a nice place to spend holidays with dogs in the nature and ideally for excursions in the Highlands or to the coast. It is very nicely furnished, nothing is missing in the equipment, even the dogs are thought of. Thank you very much. We will be happy to come back. Greetings from Switzerland

“We had a amazing week at Kestrel Cottage.”

From the welcome pack , suggestions of places to visit , the cottage , views & weather , just perfect. Highly recommend the cottage. Never been up into Sutherland area , just stunning. If I had a tiny piece of feedback ,it would be use to have some fans to cool the bedrooms at night . The Scottish midget like a couple of us , so opening the window wasn’t a option . This did not spoil anything, we loved the cottage and hospitality from our host , thank you

“Kestrel cottage was an absolutely immaculate property provisioned with absolutely everything you could possibly need during your stay.”

The owner additionally left a gift basket with some treats in it which was a really nice touch.

“Kestrel cottage was a really amazing place to stay.”

The cottage completely exceeded our expectations and the views are breathtaking. We were 4 adults on our stay and we were more than comfortable. We had everything we needed. Mackie and Eimear were fantastic hosts. A slight issue with the TV in one of the bedrooms was fixed really quickly. The fireplace was one of my favourite features as well as the hot tub of course! It’s a really remote location so a car is definitely necessary but the location is really great to explore the west coast which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. We’re already planning when we can get back. Can’t recommend highly enough, we all had a fantastic relaxing holiday. Thanks you Mackie abs Eimear.

Zuzka June 2021

“Absolutely fabulous cottage with everything thought of that you could need.”

Mackie also provided some great recommendations of things to do whilst there which made the stay even better. Our faves were: Durness beach, walk up to "The Mannie", walk along the beach from Brora to a beachfront waterfall and seeing the grey seal colony there too, Ynot cafe in Thurso, seafood shack at Dornoch beach, The Pier cafe at Lairg, Balblair woods and Loch Fleet..... But most of all....... The Views!!!!!!!! Couldn't recommend the area or the cottage highly enough.

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.
