About this property

The House of the Northern Gate is a beautifully restored 9 bedroom and 8 bathroom baronial-style house in the far north of Scotland with space to sleep 18... The house has incredible views in every direction from its spectacular setting on Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of mainland Britain. As well as the estate's own beach, the house sits above Dunnet Bay, one of the UK's most stunning beaches and has 1800 acres of moorland for hiking on the estate. Featured in The Crown on Netflix.

A downstairs room can be made up for a disabled guest and has an accessible bathroom. Four bedrooms can be made into twin rooms if preferred.

Guests can access all of the house except service areas

We will always be available at the end of a phone, but we do not live full-time in Dunnet. However, we have a lovely local host for the House of the Northern Gate who will ensure your stay is just how you want it.

The House of the Northern Gate sits in the Dunnet Estate: 1800 acres of coastal moorland looking out to Orkney and the Atlantic on Dunnet Head which is the most northerly point of mainland Britain. To the south of the house is Dunnet village with the world-famous Rock Rose gin distillery and the Northern Sands pub

A car is recommended to explore the area. It's not impossible by bus (15min walk to bus stop) and bike but a car will give you more flexibility

I’m the owner of the House of the Northern Gate and have been welcoming guests to this special corner of Caithness for several years. Together with my family, I’ve carefully restored the house to be comfortable, elegant and well-equipped for groups, while keeping the character that makes it feel like a real home rather than a hotel. I’m very hands-on as a host and happy to help with local recommendations, walks, beaches, distilleries, places to eat, and practical details to make stays run smoothly. Whether guests are visiting for a family gathering, a celebration or simply to enjoy the coastline and big skies, my aim is always that they leave relaxed, well looked after, and keen to return.
