Balloan Steading - West

The Highlands' quieter coastline, with Dornoch and its long beach within easy reach, is the setting for Balloan Steading - West. This converted grain store sits rural and secluded, yet only a short drive from the seaside town's restaurants, golf course and shoreline. The surrounding countryside rolls toward the Dornoch Firth, visible from the main living areas.

The property sleeps 8 across four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and a zip-and-link bed that splits into singles on request. Downstairs, the open-plan living and dining space centres on a woodburner and has a smart TV; the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. Electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels are all covered. One dog can stay free, and there is parking for up to four cars on site, including two electric charging points.

This works well for families or groups wanting a proper base for exploring Caithness and Sutherland's coast, or simply a quiet break with access to good food and a 2-mile beach. No smoking inside. The property is yours alone, with a shared garden area including patio and seating.
