Welcome to Achnacarry Cottage, a cosy and homely bungalow situated in a secluded and tranquil spot approximately 2 miles outside the picturesque town of Dornoch, an historic small town on the edge of the Dornoch Firth, a designated National Scenic Area in the Highlands of Scotland.

Its tranquil location, beautiful scenery and mild climate have attracted visitors for decades. Some come to test their golfing skills on Royal Dornoch's world-famous championship course, or to walk and view wildlife in the National Nature Reserve at nearby Loch Fleet. Others simply want to relax and enjoy Dornoch's unhurried way of life.

Dornoch was once the spiritual and administrative capital of Sutherland, today it remains a thriving community. Small in population (under 2,500 inhabitants) but large in hospitality, Dornoch offers visitors and residents a wide range of shops and businesses, five hotels, two golf courses, two schools, a further and higher education college and an award-winning sandy beach. Its fine buildings include the 13th Century cathedral, a bishop's palace (now a hotel), courthouse and old town jail (now a shop). Sandstone cottages and town houses line its peaceful streets and lanes.

Small individual specialist shops offer a range of services and goods alongside several larger high-street stores.

From Achanacarry Cottage, beautiful walks can be taken along the nearby beach, where seals can often be spotted, or in the adjacent Camore Wood, which also hosts a sports trail for the more active.It is the ideal location for those who want to ‘get away from it all’, and for those who want to explore the hidden jewels of the beautiful Highlands.

Nearby attractions, apart from those in Dornoch, include the Glenmorangie Distillery, Bonar Bridge (famous for salmon fishing), the Carnegie Club, the Black Isle and the Moray Firth.
