The Brackens is a quintessential Highland cottage that has been lovingly restored to create a truly charming country retreat in a secluded yet easily accessible location. This traditional detached cottage is set in its own grounds and enjoys spectacular, uninterrupted views of the surrounding hills and valleys away into the distance. Situated just 1/2 mile away from the pretty stone village of Pittentrail, sometimes referred to by locals as Rogart and offers the very best of both worlds - total seclusion yet only 1/2 mile walk to the local pub and restaurant. The tiny hamlet of Rhemusaig where the cottage stands apparently means 'the place of the primroses' and this is certainly very apt, as the hillsides surrounding the cottage are simply covered with them in Springtime. The owner is a professional orthinologist and the gardens and local area are a haven for birdwatchers; osprey, golden eagles, wood-peckers, hen harriers, red starts and even the very rare red poll are seen in the vicinity.

Sutherland is renowned for its spectacular mountain ranges, its beautiful white sandy beaches, stunning waterfalls and ancient castles. This is a magnificent area for enjoying a wide range of sporting activities. Mountain bike trails, riding, fishing (river, sea and loch), hill walking, canoeing and climbing are all available locally. The championship golf course at nearby Royal Dornoch is a must for the golfing enthusiast. There are also numerous places of interest in the region. Dunrobin Castle, seat of the Dukes of Sutherland with its gardens modelled on Versailles is just 10 minutes drive away. Watch the salmon leaping at the spectacular Falls of Shin or travel further north to encounter the steep cliffs of Caithness, home to puffins and many other visiting sea birds. Whales are also frequent visitors to the shores of the Pentland Firth. The fairy tale castle of Mey, with its beautiful walled garden is well worth a visit. Experience gold panning at Helmsdale (site of a 19th century goldrush where claims are still staked), or take a day trip to Orkney to explore the historic sites and beautiful coast. An ideal base for a truly magical holiday for all ages.
