Bucolic splendor

The Old Croft is a lovely home with lots of space, full amenities, and gracious, supportive hosts. Dawn and Robert were absolutely lovely, and walking across the pasture and golf course to get to the beach was a delight. We were sorry to have to move on, and we’ll absolutely come back. Brora is a lovely town, and it is perfectly situated for accessing many points in the north.

Spacious Accommodation

Very spacious accommodation for 5 adults. Well stocked kitchen. Everywhere spotlessly "Covid" clean. Good size bedrooms. Short walk across the golf course to Brora beach.

Lovely stay at The Old Croft

Great location. Lots of space in the house. Having two sitting rooms was a bonus. Everything needed was provided. The owners are lovely people and even posted something back to us that we left in the house. Wifi is good. Tesco delivers to the house and there are lots of things to do in the area. We would definately return.

The location was perfect.

The property was quite dated but it was very well-equipped and spacious. Fantastic location just a short walk from a beautiful beach with cows wandering around freely. Lovely coastal walks, and great to walk up Ben Bragghie and the Big Burn Walk. And lovely fish n chips in Golspie

Brora cottage

Property is slightly dated but very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hosts for the property are extremely friendly and helpful and even went to the trouble of phoning a grandson for help with sorting the TV which needed reconfigured after being used for games. The area is beautiful and in easy reach of everywhere from the North Coast to Inverness and the ablack Isle. Would thoroughly recommend.

Week at 'The Old Croft'

Great place from which to explore the wild interior and West coast from. Pick the days to travel across the mountains via Lairg to see dear mountains and eagles. Failing that Brora beach which is a 5 minute walk across Brora Links (well worth playing!!) is a great walk, we have often seen Dolphins skimming the surf very close to the beach. It is a quicker walk, but normally some dam building with the kids half way there. Great for extended family, well equipped an homely. Be back soon!
