Monach Cottage is a beautifully restored stone cottage situated in the pretty Highland village of Bonar Bridge. Attached to the main house, the cottage is completely separate, with its own entrances, lovely patio gardens and large, sunny conservatory. The lovely sitting room oozes olde world charm, with a stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove, deep silled windows and traditional cottage doors. The attractive bedrooms have coordinated soft furnishings which add to its cosy ambience and the bright, spacious, well equipped kitchen/dining room leads out to a large, modern conservatory. Overlooking the stunning waters of the Kyle of Sutherland (the confluence of four famous salmon rivers) the cottage is superbly situated for exploring the cream of the Scottish Highlands. The village of Bonar Bridge lies at a unique focus of Highland roads. The route across to the west coast, just 44 miles away, is truly spectacular. Breathtaking mountains are interspersed with lochs and rivers before reaching the crystal clear waters and the white shell sand bays of the Atlantic coastline. 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 just 40 minutes drive away. Bonar Bridge has excellent local facilities, including a bakery, butcher, village store, cafe, pubs and a bistro serving freshly cooked dishes using locally sourced produce. The village also has its own 9 hole golf course. The Kyle of Sutherland is home to an incredible array of wildlife, such as resident otters, a vast array of birds, including visiting osprey, Whooper swans, golden eagles, buzzards and deer that roam its banks.. The area is renowned for its outdoor pursuits. Spectacular mountain bike trails just one mile from the cottage offer easy routes for beginners as well as extremely challenging ones for experienced riders - and all will appreciate the amazing views from the hill top! Fishing is second to none, with 14 miles of 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 Falls of Shin. Just 5 minutes drive away; it is one of the few places to watch salmon close at hand, leaping up the dramatic falls.The surrounding area is a walker's and climber's paradise, with forests, hills and mountains for mile after mile. The nearby town of Dornoch is well worth a visit, with its 13th century cathedral, old town jail, attractive small shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. Royal Dornoch is also famous for its championship golf courses and award winning beach, with miles of golden sand. The owners of Monach Cottage are happy to provide breakfast and a cooked evening meal. With freshly caught smoked haddock, Loch Fyne kippers or 'Monach House' kedgeree on the breakfast menu this is a real bonus to a self- catering holiday.Property has oil central heating.
