Muy querida casa familiar, entorno costero en las Highlands

Our family has had links to Sutherland for over 170 years and we still love this wild, remote and peaceful corner of the Highlands. This house was bought in 1993 and was extended in 2007 to provide enough space for large family get togethers. It continues to be used for 6 to 8 weeks every year by us. I manage the house on behalf of my siblings and we have an excellent housekeeper, Linda, who lives locally and is on hand to help our guests with anything they need. She is also able to provide meals if required.

Inchnafearna (transl. 'Field of Alders') is a wonderfully comfortable house and is very well appointed in all respects. Warm and cosy, with comfortable beds all with heated under-blankets. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. Many of our guests say that the house is better kitted out than their own homes. There is a one acre well tended and colourful garden, looked after by our gardener, Ian. On summer days it is a joy to sit on the terrace (a sun trap facing South West) and watch the buzzards soaring into the sky and listen to the sound of the waterfall and the burn which runs past the back of the house. Whatever the weather, you can be assured of a return to a warm welcome at Inchnafearna. We look forward to welcoming you to Inchnafearna and know you'll love it as much as we do.

This house has everything you could need and want, and is truly a home from home.
