We had a great time at Polgarrie house. We were bless to see a group of 7 deer. Bed is comfortabel but rest of the furniture can need a upgrade and a good cleaning. Pink sofa smell like wet dogs. We do miss the dram of local whisky and also do miss a coffee machine.

A very enjoyable stay at Polgarrie. Really felt like a home from home with lots of character, a mix of modern and old. The property was really spacious and the location was amazing. Wonderful views with beautiful walks and nature all around. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby. We had to extend our stay due to weather conditions and Kate was extremely helpful throughout. We would thoroughly recommend staying here.

Fantastic stay in beautiful property
We had a fantasic stay at Polgarrie with our two children, 10 and 6. The property was bright, modern and well equipped. The views from the main living room are stunning. There was lots of exciting things to do with the kids. The kids loved the walk up the Struie, playing in the river and having the freedom to roam. A highlight was seeing the salmon jumping at the falls of shin. We will definitely visit again.

Summer '23
Polgarrie is in a lovely secluded area and provides spacious accommodation. A few areas of the house including kitchen and bathrooms need modernising and redecorating but the lounge with big picture windows is a lovely space in which to relax. The garden is a great space to play for kids and dogs although the rough grass area is a challenge so would be better fenced off. We got used to the track in and opening/shutting gates but worth noting it is a good five plus minutes from the main road and low vehicles would struggle. Overall we had a lovely time at Polgarrie, thank you.

Unpleasant surprise
Unfortunately, I can only give the house a 1 star rating. The pictures on the net do not correspond in any way to reality. Starting with the profile picture of the house. There an old dilapidated shed (red roof on other pictures) was retouched out. Furthermore, some wallpaper is peeling off the ceiling on the first floor due to water damage. In the small room next to the kitchen, there is major water damage around the radiator, around which mold is now forming. Staying on the topic of mold, it is also found in parts of the bathroom on the first floor. Last but not least, the cleanliness and condition of the house is to be criticized. We found foreign hair on the windowsill on the second floor, as well as on some beds. In the living room, there are cracks in the ceiling area, parts of the kitchen are not properly attached (dishwasher is in front/ panels are crooked) and the toilet seats are both loose.

On arriving the guest Informed us that the heating wasn’t working and requested a price reduction. We offered him a free night and a full refund. Next morning the heating engineer checked the system and reported that it was in perfect working order. The guest still insisted on a price reduction. We are sorry that the property was not to his liking.

Remote stay
The property over all is very nice. The pictures online appear to be a modern house on a farm. The house has lots of natural light. The house is actually older with great views. The house needs some cosmetic updates. Everything worked fine but it shows it's age. The driveway to the house is dirt and gravel for a long while. Our car for hire was a BMW M3 and did not do well with all the rain. The car sat very low. Location was great for day trips all along the upper NC500.

Hidden Gem
Polgarrie is a wonderful house in the Scottish Highlands. Located about 2 miles from the main road in a very quiet setting, off the beaten track. Cattle and sheep graze peacefully around the house. There are plenty of walks to go on in this wonderful countryside. An ideal place for children or just a quiet place to get away from it all. The countryside is stunning. Dornoch is a lovely old town with a magnificent sandy beach. Dunrobin Castle is a wonderful castle with beautiful gardens and a falconry display. We took a few day trips to Loch Ness and Urquart Castle, The Orkneys, Inverness, Culloden, Cawdor Castle.

Ruhe und Abeschiedenheit in Schottland
Wir hatten eine sehr angenehme Zeit in Polgarrie. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht und wir haben den Ausblick, der wirklich in alle Richtungen grandios ist, sehr genossen. Den Kindern haben insbesondere die vielen Schafe mit ihren Lämmchen gefallen. Vom Haus kann man zu Fuß und mit dem Auto viel unternehmen, wir haben zum Beispiel Teile des Pictish Trail abgefahren und Strandtage in Dornoch genossen.

Idyllic remote location
We really enjoyed our stay at Polgarrie. A very comfortable house and felt like a home from home. Everything you need is there and we loved watching the changing skies out of the large windows, then snuggling by a cosy log fire. Some lovely artwork in the house, many by the owner -loved the one of the ruined house on the hill. The area is very interesting with so much to see and do. Boys enjoyed their trip to Balblair distillery and we all loved the beaches at Dornoch, Portmahomack and Balintore. Thanks Kate and Mark for the use of your lovely home.

Fabulous location
We absolutely loved the stunning views out of every window. Surrounded by beautiful hills which were literally on the doorstep. We walked extensively from the front door in every direction! Fantastic! The children enjoyed an early evening dip in a waterfall and small plunge pool just 10 mins walk from the front door. Surrounded by sheep for neighbours we loved it. The open plan living areas were lovely and made for a very sociable family time together. The beds were v.comfy and the whole area was v.interesting to drive around. We saw seals in Loch Fleet and enjoyed the scenery around the Dormoch coast. If you want a break surrounded by beauty we would thoroughly recommend this superbly located house. Wonderful!

Summer break to unwind
If you want to be in a peaceful, quiet location to unwind, this is the place for you. Property is clean with everything needed to have a good family break. It has an extension with large windows giving outstanding views of the surrounding countryside. It is in the middle of farmland, so if you not a fan of sheep/cows then maybe not for you. Only downside we found was that due to its location (up a single track road) the last section was a farm track that was very stony. If you precious about you car then not great, we had a 4 x 4 so no problem but still had to take it easy. All in all a great wee place and so, so peaceful.

Highland home in a stunning location
Polgarrie House is a mixture of traditional highland farmhouse and modern, open plan living, though the highlight is being surrounded by open countryside (you're a mile from your nearest neighbour, at the end of an upland farm track, yet only 10 minutes from Tescos!). We regularly saw buzzards, kites and harriers swooping across the hillsides, while the redpolls and siskins darted among the trees in the garden, and swallows chased insects over the lawn. And for us city-dwellers, it was a novelty having cattle and sheep just over the garden fence! Apart from exploring the garden and area around the house (we clambered down to the nearby waterfall a couple of times), there's a huge range of destinations within an easy drive of the house: Highland landscapes and leaping salmon at the Falls of Shin towards Lairg, or the fantastic beaches at Dornoch or Portmahomack. Nearby Tain has good shopping (including Tescos) and food options (look out for the monthly "Feastival" evening food events - get there early if on), and is a short drive from the house. Overall, we loved our stay at Polgarrie - lots of positives, though the setting and landscape surrounding the house have to be the star of the show.

Perfect getaway
Walking in through the front door and into the huge living room was one of those "WOW" moments. The views on 3 sides were amazing. The peace and quiet was just what we were looking for. The house is remote but the access was easy. It isn't far to Tain if you need supplies. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped with a good central heating system which we did need in May sadly! Good WiFi and mobile phone reception which was essential for us for contact with family. Bed in main bedroom very comfortable. Owner Kate very responsive. We would definitely go back!

Rural yet accessible
Our family have spent a great fortnight at Polgarrie House. Various adult children coming and going via train to Tain and a Grandmother in a B&B there. All loved the remote site and yet we could quickly access all directions making for great days out to Achiltibuie, Ben Hope, Dunrobin Castle, Portmahomack.etc. Yet we equally enjoyed days spent ‘at home’ playing scrabble, watching the wildlife out the huge windows, climbing Struie etc. Very relaxing. The location means it’s usually quite windy (great for drying wetsuits) which also means no midges! Thank you for a great holiday!

Ideal and idyllic! For quiet, rest and relaxation of body and soul!
We arrived earlier than expected and very soon after the last holidaymakers had left which meant the property manager was unable to proffer the usual welcome package but she was helpful, kind and made sure we were warm and cosy. It was reassuring to know in the event of any unforeseen problems she was only ever a phone all away. There was a phone available to use to make calls to the emergency services if the need arose. It also accepted incoming calls which is really useful, although we did not need to use this facility, it is very useful if you have dependents or elderly relatives that need to keep in touch. The location was stunning and it was easy to access the upper highlands. The scenery was fabulous, there was everything you could possibly want...magnificent mountains, hills, lochs, meandering rivers, valleys, woods, and islands. Great eating places at Lochinver Larder, (either eat in or take away) lovely coffee / dining shop in Tain called Greens on the High Street and super Seafood shop just off the high street in Tain which sells delicious Scotch pies and Haggis too! . Tesco, Asda and Lidl a couple of miles away, Fuel at Asda and Tesco. Everything within easy reach yet away from it all. Lovely break...... good for balancing your inner peace!!!

right in the countryside
old property extended several times latterly very tastefully. Living room part of extensions and holds compelling views north and south, spotted male hen harrier to north hunting over marsh and heather. Some of the fittings and maintenance could be improved biggest complaint was the left hand bedroom's bed whose slats were loose and could not be fixed without tools and suitable screws. Commonly used fittings like toilet roll holders towel holders etc are too cheap to be sustainable for people of varying clumsiness. Attention to lots of seemingly petty details and a second shower could make this a perfect retreat for a family gathering. The fridge cable that runs behind the boiler flue needs fixing so that it is incapable of touching the flue, one day it will and be burnt through. Needs a moderate time of a handyman. Wont stop me booking again, this time I will take tools and take the liberty of fixing non critical items. Sorry I'm not complaining or criticising just hoping a good property could become great.

It is a really nice cottage lost in the country side, surrounded by nature and quiet neighbors: sheep and caws, perfect place to gate away from the rush of every day life. The place is well maintained, it was easy to check in and find it thanks to the directions provided by the host. One bedroom and bathroom are downstairs, helping with mobility. Few minor items would need attention for maintenance but does not cause a problem for the stay. Would definitely recommend the place and go again. Thanks for the stay!

The weather was extra ordinary hot for Scotland. We enjoyed the breakfast in the garden.
