Highland Hot Tub Retreat Premium

Escape to this relaxing bolthole located on the owners farm in Nigg, just off the NC500 route. It boasts an elevated cliffside location, ideal for dolphin spotting.

Sleeping two guests, this is an ideal accommodation choice for those who want to discover the wild beauty of the Easter Ross Peninsula together. During the day, explore the Pictish Trail and sculptures.

Alternatively, head off to roam the shores of Shandwick Bay (7 miles), taking a romantic stroll along the coast of the Moray Firth. Catch the small seasonal ferry from Nigg across the bay to Cromarty.

Sample a wee dram at the Glenmorangie Distillery in nearby Tain (11.5 miles), or further north, the town of Dornoch offers a variety of cafes, gift shops and a must-visit beach. Step inside this superb cabin and into the welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area boasting cosy Scandinavian-style decor.

Slip onto the sofa and make yourself at home while you take in the beautiful sea views through the floor-to-ceiling windows. When it's time to eat, use the sleek kitchen area to whip up some dinner to share at the intimate dining table.

After dinner, crack open a bottle of wine and warm your toes by the dual-aspect wood burner – set between the lounge and bedroom – adding charm and character to both rooms. At the end of the day, retire to the thoughtfully designed bedroom, which features an impressive double-ended freestanding bath and wonderful sea views through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

A chic en-suite shower room with double vanity sinks completes the layout. Outside, you’ll find a pretty enclosed decking area with a private hot tub where you will be able to spot dolphins whilst you relax and an outdoor glass-fronted sauna, as well as an outside cold water platform.
