The property was bright, modern and well equipped. The views from the main living room are stunning. There was lots of exciting things to do with the kids. The kids loved the walk up the Struie, playing in the river and having the freedom to roam. A highlight was seeing the salmon jumping at the falls of shin. We will definitely visit again. ##### Laura B.

Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine P. 21 Apr 2016 #### Simply beautiful An absolutely gorgeous location. Isolated, yet all amenities are within 10 min drive, I.e. pharmacy, hospital and shops. The house is well maintained, very clean and tidy. There is a big garden at the back of the house - great for BBQs and for children to play. You can make your stay full of activities, visit local distilleries (there are plenty around and they sell great Scottish whiskey for good price!), go for hikes (you're spoiled with choice) or to Dornoch beach (10 min drive) and plenty more. In the evening, you fire up the fire place, get on wifi or Sky TV or simply read a book and enjoy the magnificent views - just look at the photos! We are definitely coming back next year! ##### Katherine P. ### 8/10 Good #### Claire W. 26 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Summer '23 Polgarrie is in a lovely secluded area and provides spacious accommodation. A few areas of the house including kitchen and bathrooms need modernising and redecorating but the lounge with big picture windows is a lovely space in which to relax. The garden is a great space to play for kids and dogs although the rough grass area is a challenge so would be better fenced off. We got used to the track in and opening/shutting gates but worth noting it is a good five plus minutes from the main road and low vehicles would struggle. Overall we had a lovely time at Polgarrie, thank you. ##### Claire W. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### David P. 17 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Remote stay The property over all is very nice. The pictures online appear to be a modern house on a farm. The house has lots of natural light. The house is actually older with great views. The house needs some cosmetic updates. Everything worked fine but it shows it's age. The driveway to the house is dirt and gravel for a long while. Our car for hire was a BMW M3 and did not do well with all the rain. The car sat very low. Location was great for day trips all along the upper NC500. ##### David P. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Frank F. 14 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Unpleasant surprise Unfortunately, I can only give the house a 1 star rating. The pictures on the net do not correspond in any way to reality. Starting with the profile picture of the house. There an old dilapidated shed (red roof on other pictures) was retouched out. Furthermore, some wallpaper is peeling off the ceiling on the first floor due to water damage. In the small room next to the kitchen, there is major water damage around the radiator, around which mold is now forming. Staying on the topic of mold, it is also found in parts of the bathroom on the first floor. Last but not least, the cleanliness and condition of the house is to be criticized. We found foreign hair on the windowsill on the second floor, as well as on some beds. In the living room, there are cracks in the ceiling area, parts of the kitchen are not properly attached (dishwasher is in front/ panels are crooked) and the toilet seats are both loose. ##### Frank F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve A. 9 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peace and tranquility An absolutely amazing holiday. Gorgeous home from home. So peaceful and the perfect place to allow all of your stresses to fade away. We did not need to use the fire due to the property being warm and cosy. Very clean and beds were perfect. Will be booking again. Many thanks to the owners. ##### Steve A.
