This is our fourth year here and we cannot speak highly enough of Tarbat Lodge. The setting, with spectacular views across the Dornoch Firth, is as stunning as you will find anywhere in the Highlands. The house itself has to be seen to be believed. No expense has been spared in the renovation of this beautiful and spacious lodge. The spectacular kitchen is very much the hub where we have enjoyed many fun nights. It's the highlight of our year and here's to many more visits!
Tarbat Lodge is a beautifully renovated house decorated and furnished to a very high standard. It is in prime location overlooking Portmahomack harbour and the Dornoch Firth with sea views from all the bedrooms. The house is spacious but still has a homely feel, with 2 cosy sitting rooms and a fantastic kitchen diner, with high quality appliances and all the kitchen gadgets you could possibly need.The porch on the front is a great place to relax and enjoy the views, with the benefit of being heated. The underfloor heating is simple and easy to control. The beds are extremely comfortable and there are great power showers you in the 4 bathrooms. We have now holidayed here for 3 years and wouldn't choose to go anywhere else. No down sides, cannot recommend highly enough. Portmahomack itself is a beautiful and peaceful place; no need to go far, but recommend trips to Dornoch and Cromarty. There is plenty of information about the area and places to visit and eat provided in the house.
We could not fault Tarbat Lodge. It suited us down to the ground as a holiday destination for our extended family which allowed us quality time together in beautiful surroundings. The place was so peaceful that we were just happy staying in the vicinity relaxing in the house and catching crabs along the jetty. There is however plenty to do in the surrounding area and the Tarbat Discovery Centre is an absolute must place to visit if you enjoy history. Would recommend to anyone!
We stayed in Tarbat Lodge in July and loved it. We are a large family group over 3 generations. The house has lots of living space including a huge, light, very well equipped dining kitchen with french doors leading to a stone patio area. The bedrooms all have sea views and are very comfortable (great beds!). Lovely bath/shower rooms with oodles of hot water. The front porch is lovely to sit in with a view over the Dornoch firth and the harbour, we saw dolphins! The garage was very handy for storing our canoes etc. We know this area well and have stayed in other houses near here, but this is by far the nicest house in the very best location, highly recommended.
This was our first visit to the area, the location is perfect with views of a fishing harbour, Dornoch Firth and a sandy beach. We were a large group of mixed ages. Some played golf, some went on long walks while others read in the sunny porch or cooked in the fabulous well equipped kitchen. We visited the Black Isle and took a boat trip to see the dolphins, Tain and Dornoch are nearby with a lot to see and do. This is the very best holiday home we have stayed in. Comfortable, well equipped, stylish and spacious. Can't recommend it more highly.
Each year our extended family of 3 generations holiday in Portmahomack. This was our first time staying in Tarbat Lodge and it was just wonderful. We loved everything about the house which is extremely well equipped has been renovated to a high spec throughout. The beds are very comfortable & the bedrooms have fabulous views. The 2 sitting rooms are cosy, comfortable and a great space for both old and young (or for the former to escape the latter!). The kitchen is lovely and spacious, opening onto a sunny terrace. We had the happiest of family holidays in Tarbat Lodge and are already excited about our return in 2015.
