Durness, Highlands
A four bedroom, four bathroom house for ten at Durness, built where John Lennon spent childhood holidays, with sea views, two wood burners and an enclosed lawn, two dogs welcome.
John Lennon spent his childhood holidays at Durness, at his aunt's house, and 54 Sangomore stands on that exact site. What stands there now is a four bedroom, four bathroom house for ten with sea views through lounge windows on three walls, two dogs welcome, and the beaches of the far north west starting at the bottom of the village. Dog friendly history, of a kind.
The main lounge holds a wood burner and most of the view; the library snug holds the second burner, shelves of books and whichever children want away from the grown ups. The kitchen diner seats all ten at one table with a pantry behind it, the utility dries the day's layers, and the four bedrooms, two doubles, a twin and a room of four singles, share the four bathrooms without negotiation. The garden is enclosed and laid to lawn for the dogs.
Durness is a village you measure on foot. Balnakeil's white sweep is 0.8 miles away, Smoo Cave and its coastal path sit just beyond the village, Ceannabeinne lies along the road east and Sango Bay drops below the shop, so ten people and two dogs can head a different way every morning and be on sand within twenty minutes.
The Cape Wrath minibus leaves from the Kyle for the wildest day out, the John Lennon Memorial Garden in the village closes the circle, and the zip line above the beach settles any argument with teenagers. The dogs will remember the dunes.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is 54 Sangomore dog friendly?
Yes, 54 Sangomore welcomes two dogs. The garden is enclosed and laid to lawn, giving them a safe space to stretch out, and the beaches of the far north west — Balnakeil, Sango Bay, Ceannabeinne and more — are all within a short walk of the house.
Are dogs allowed at 54 Sangomore year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but nothing in the property details suggests any time-of-year limitations. It's worth confirming directly with the owner when you book, particularly if you're planning a visit during the quieter winter months.
What should I know before visiting 54 Sangomore with my dog?
The property accepts a maximum of two dogs, so it's not suited to larger groups travelling with multiple pets. On the plus side, the enclosed lawn means they can be outside safely without you having to watch the gate, and with Balnakeil's white sand beach just 0.8 miles away and Sango Bay dropping below the village shop, you'll have no shortage of excellent walking from the moment you arrive.
