Christine has been welcoming guests to her immaculate farmhouse for 41 years and they show their appreciation to her welcoming hospitality and enjoyable home cooking, by returning year after year.

This is a beef and sheep farm with a working acreage of 120 acres and a further 2000 hill acres.

Rovie Farm Guest House is a commodious lodge style farmhouse situated in the pictures valley of Strathfleet. The villages of Lairg, Golspie and Dornoch are within an 11 mile radius, making it an ideal centre for touring both east and west.

An open fire warms the comfortable lounge and the pretty dining room has an attractive collection of wall plates. There is also a sun porch with television.

The bedrooms are spacious with wash hand basins and lovely views across picturesque Strathfleet Valley.

A holiday at Rovie Farm can be one of total relaxation or of strenuous exercise if so desired. Fishing and shooting can be arranged and there are five golf courses nearby, lovely beaches and walks. The area is a bird-watcher's paradise. Amongst innumerable sites of architectural and historical interest well worth a visit, is Dunrobin Castle and Gardens.

Delicious home baking is on offer to guests both on arrival and before bedtime and hearty breakfasts and evening dinners are also served. Packed lunches are available.

Open until November.
