Notes on accommodation
Accessibility
With great regret, this building is not suitable for those requiring wheelchair access.
Outside
During your time at Gualin you are free to roam over the entire estate where there are dramatic walks and a track that takes you to Loch Dionard (just over six miles away). In the spring, trout fishing is possible (talk to us in advance) and there area boasts some dramatic coastal walks as well.
Coast/Beach
The beach at Balnakiel is around 10 miles away and is pristine and beautiful. Sandwood Bay, a four mile walk with no vehicular access is one of the most beautiful in the UK. Local attractions in late spring include Smoo Cave and the Cape Wrath lighthouse (reached by ferry).
Golf
Durness Golf Course, the most northerly on the British mainland is a dramatic and beautiful 9 hole challenge. The course is really only available, however, after Easter when the sheep are taken off.
Special interest holidays
This is a stunning location for hikers and bird watchers.
