Vacation Rentals By Owner In Dornoch, Scotland

Dun Brae is Gaelic for “castle on a hill”. Dunny is no castle, but its perch on its hill above Dornoch affords one of the best and most enjoyable views of the town that can be found. The cottage’s situation is simultaneously private and central, placing guests mere yards from the center of town and the first tee box at Royal Dornoch.brbrDun Brae is a multi-generational family holiday cottage. The thick, centuries old sandstone walls create a quiet and comforting atmosphere, and the interiors provide the comforts of a home-away-from-home for everyone—a great base for a few days or a few months. Over the decades, the house and gardens have undergone constant planning and improvement by a dedicated team of local artisans. The cottage is filled with antique furniture and art from years of travel in Scotland and pays homage to the country charm that is quintessentially the Highlands. While traditional in its core, Dun Brae affords all of the luxuries and comforts of a fine 21st century country home. All of the rooms proudly boast tartan and tweed furnishings from ANTA, Scotland’s premier outfitter of Scottish country lifestyle, and paint and wallpaper from Farrow & Ball. brbrbrROOM DESCRIPTIONS:brbrKitchen/Dining: Fully fitted modern kitchen with Bosch and Neff appliances: gas oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, Nespresso coffee maker.
