About this property
Tucked away in the historic town of Tain in the Scottish Highlands is this superb mid-terrace cottage, 3 Dunrobin Street. Dating back to the 15th century and sleeping up to six guests, 3 Dunrobin Street is a fantastic, pet-friendly dwelling for a getaway to the Highlands, enjoying an enclosed rear garden and easy access to city of Inverness. Be charmed by the homely kitchen, where you can look forward to preparing tasty home-cooked meals for your guests, as they uncork a bottle of wine and set the table ready to tuck-in. After a hearty meal, retire to the plush sofas in the first-floor sitting room, and kick-back and relax with a cup of tea and your favourite book. When sleep calls, you have the option of three tastefully decorated bedrooms to retire to, a double and two ground-floor doubles, ideal for those with limited mobility. Wake-up and indulge in a leisurely soak in the bath, before joining your guests for morning coffee in the enclosed rear garden. Grab your walking boots and venture into the local town, where you will find a delightful selection of restaurants serving scrumptious food, purchase homemade cheese at Highland Fine Cheeses or freshly caught seafood at Bannerman Seafoods, an excellent golf course with sea views and the Tain Museum, where you can brush up on the local history. Be sure to make a stop at the well-known Glenmorangie Distillery where you can take a guided tour and a tasting session, as well as being able to purchase your favourite tipples onsite to enjoy at home. Jump in the car and cross Dornoch Firth Bridge to visit Dornoch Castle, situated just opposite the town's stunning cathedral; built around 1500, the castle is steeped in history and well-worth a visit for its fabulous atmosphere. Budding historians can travel further up the coast to the magnificent Dunrobin Castle & Gardens, dating back to the early 1300s and boasting a total of 189 rooms inside a gorgeous French château exterior, which was a naval hospital during WWI and a boy's boarding school in the 1900s. 3 Dunrobin Street is also a brilliant base to embark on the North Coast 500 route, a 516-mile journey around the north coast of Scotland, taking visitors to many popular attractions throughout the Highlands to make the most of the truly unique landscapes. For a wider selection of amenities, head to the thriving city of Inverness, where you will find the impressive Inverness Cathedral and Castle, the picturesque Ness Islands, the informative Inverness Museum and Art Gallery and a variety of scenic walks including the Ness Walk. There is also the fantastic Dolphin Spirit Inverness, where you can take an RIB cruise out onto the vast waters and spot the playful creatures who frequent the area. For an unforgettable trip to the Highlands, look no further than 3 Dunrobin Street. EPC Rating: Band E

We had previously booked an alternative cottage for the week before which was cancelled at short notice so we booked here with Sykes for the following week and the weather was glorious! The cottage had everything we could have needed for our stay which we found spacious and comfortable. We had one issue with getting a signal for terrestrial tv channels however streaming apps were available which we made use of. It was our first visit to Tain and weâre delighted at how close all amenities are. Thank you for providing such a cosy and comfortable stay

Nice enclosed garden perfect for the dog, could perhaps do with a little tidy up. Great base for walking into the village or exploring further afield. Close to pub and shops etc. Would recommend

This cottage offers great value for money. Positive points are that it is clean. Good mattresses. Generally good facilities. Good use of space. Small negative is that it gets very warm upstairs. In the kitchen for example a wok or extra frying pan would be welcome.
