Beautiful spacious refurbished 1900 century lodge set on the Dunnet Estate with spectacular coastal views, perfect for families and friends holidays and celebrate special occasions together.

This grandiose turreted property occupies an elevated position on Dunnet Head, the northernmost point of mainland Britain. Up to 18 guests in nine bedrooms can savour time in this sumptuous house and on the owner's secluded sandy beach, less than 1 mile from the property. The enchanting interior is full of old-world charm with excellent social spaces where everyone can spend time together, and windows frame exceptional loch and Munro views.

As you enter the hall a grand entrance awaits you. Throughout the house you will find opulent furnishings, ornate chandeliers, art and beautiful rugs. The light-flooded rooms are decorated in warm tones. On the ground floor is the lounge with an open fire and cosy sofas where you can relax after a day of exploring. Plan evenings together in the cinema room with its large sofas, bean bags and Smart TV to enjoy your favourite films or box sets. The property offers many different rooms where you can relax. If you are looking for peace and quiet, you can retreat to the library with a large selection of English and French books. If the children or the adults feel like a bit of competition, there is table tennis in the games room. The spacious kitchen, separate catering kitchen and dining room adjacent to the kitchen are a dream for memorable meals and festive dinners. From the hall, stairs lead up to nine individually designed, colourful and characterful bedrooms, each named after the area in which they are located. Bushta has a king-size four-poster bed and an en-suite bathroom with a slipper bath and separate shower in the turret. Holland and Holborn both have a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. Mey and Dwarwick are both super-king-size rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Morven offers a family room with a super-king-size bed, a single bed and an en-suite shower room.

Step outside and you'll be wowed by the fantastic views of the coastline. Explore the walled courtyard with its water feature, seating, and fire pit. With access to around 1,800 acres of moorland, cliff paths leading to a secluded sandy beach and a path to Dunnet Head lighthouse – be ready for a daily adventure.
