Description The Baron on the Hill: West Dunnet

Covering an impressive 1800 acres of moorland just for hiking, the sheer scale of the estate is enough to make it feel majestic without the towering rise of the baronial-style home itself. When both come into view together on the winding drive up to the house, it’s breathtaking. And stepping into the home is a similar experience – take in the mix of chandeliers, fireplaces, and four poster beds. It’s stately, but with plenty of opportunity for relaxation. Whether that’s sinking into the sofa after stoking the fireplace, or wrapping up and walking the moors on a crisp morning. Perhaps it’s luxuriating in a bubble bath with a glass of prosecco, or cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen. Regardless, this home is willing to give whatever you need to take away from your holiday.

Wander down to Dunnet Bay and the village, but whatever you do, don’t forget to stop off at the world-famous Rock Rose gin distillery. For a pub lunch, you’ll find Northern Sand more than happy to oblige.
