The House of the Northern Gate is a beautifully restored 9 bedroom baronial-style house in the far north of Scotland with space to sleep 20. It is an elegant, luxurious house in a remarkable setting. You will feel private, warm, welcomed and inspired by the stunning views. Exclusive use means guests have the entire property to themselves.
The house has a spectacular setting on Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of mainland Britain with a sweeping view of Dunnet Bay, one of the UK's most stunning beaches and with 1800 acres of moorland for hiking on the estate. Caithness is famous for stunning beaches, old ruins, whisky, surfing, fishing and exploring.
