'Escape to nature’s edge'

'Mid Fearn Cottages, set in a unique, natural reserve, is a magical place to stay’ ... so say our guests.
Surrounded by sea and natural woodland, it is a haven of peace and tranquility, the silence broken by the call of whooper swans, geese and a multitude of waders such as curlews and oystercatchers.

The property consists of two cottages : Rowan and Herbie’s. Both cottages can be let individually or togther if a larger booking is required.

Rowan Cottage is attached to the main house around a courtyard. The owners of Mid Fearn Cottages, Julia and Peter, live in the main house. Herbie’s, the studio hideaway, is set on its own, slightly away from the main house. Each cottage has been individually refurbished since the new owners moved to Mid Fearn in 2010 and a new Wood Pellet Heating System installed. Each has its own character, with stunning views either up the Kyle of Sutherland northwards towards Lairg, or down the Kyle towards the sea.

Mid Fearn Cottages is surrounded by water, on its own promontory, with natural woodland walk down to the shore.

In spring, the woods are a carpet of bluebells, and recently planted wild daffodils. Dog walkers, bird watchers and artists alike revel in this natural paradise. A path through the woods winds down through wild daffodils, bluebells, fritillaries and aconites to the sea beyond. Alders form the major part of the wood.

The owners are in the process of creating a natural sanctuary for migrating birds. They have just added a pond in their woodland landscaping.
