The Sutherland Family
This amazing, large family house has the capacity to sleep 12 people, with 2 sitting rooms, 4 bathrooms, a large dining room, games room and hot tub. The ideal place for a family get-together. It is bookable from Monday to Friday, from Friday to Monday (for the weekend) or for the whole week or fortnight.
We have farmed in Caithness since 1969, but have recently purchased Geiselittle Farm to add to our grazing for cows and sheep. The houses on the farm have been renovated to rent as holiday accommodation
This rural property is set on a working farm, and presents the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway as it offers quiet, undisturbed views of farmland looking out towards the town of Thurso, and the beautiful winding banks of river Thurso as it heads towards the coast. Just 2 miles from the town and with excellent travel links as the house lies just to the west of the A9, the main road to the North Highlands
