1 / 24Laxford House
Laxford Bridge, Highlands
A six bedroom house for eleven near Laxford Bridge in Sutherland, with two wood burner lounges, a sunroom overlooking the river and hill loch fishing included, two dogs welcome.
Fishing on the local hill lochs, four rods' worth, comes included with Laxford House, and the River Laxford running past the bottom of the garden sets the tone before you reach the door. This is a six bedroom house for eleven near Laxford Bridge in the Sutherland Highlands, with two dogs welcome and a private enclosed garden with a large grassy lawn for them. Dog friendly, and angler friendly with it.
Two lounges each keep a wood burner, the sunroom looks out over the river for after dinner drinks, and the kitchen runs a double oven, five ring hob and breakfast bar for catering at reunion scale. Bedrooms spread across both floors, kings, a double, twins, a single and even a nursery with a cot, with three bathrooms between them. The dogs, meanwhile, will settle in front of whichever lounge lights its wood burner first.
Evenings divide by temperament: board games around one fire, quiet around the other, somebody in the sunroom with a glass listening to the river, and two dogs on the lawn seeing the day out. Eleven people can hold three different evenings here at once, and there are dog kennels available as well.
Scourie Bay is 6 miles away for a day of sandcastles, the sheltered bays nearby are there for fishing, and boat fishing on Loch Mhor and Loch Stack can be arranged through the Estate office. On foot or by bike, the country around the house feels a world away from everyday life, and the dogs get river, hill loch and sandy bay in a single week.

Is Laxford House dog friendly?
Yes, Laxford House welcomes up to two dogs. There's an enclosed lawned garden for them to enjoy, and with a river at the bottom of the garden plus hill lochs and Atlantic beaches within reach, it's a brilliant base for dogs who love the outdoors.
Are dogs allowed at Laxford House year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend confirming directly with the owner when you book to make sure your dates work for everyone.
What should I know before visiting Laxford House with my dog?
The house accommodates a maximum of two dogs, so it's worth bearing that in mind if you're travelling with a group who might each have one. On the plus side, the enclosed garden gives them a safe space to roam, and the surrounding Sutherland landscape — river, hill lochs and beaches like Scourie Bay and Oldshoremore just a few miles away — offers exceptional walking country all week long.
