Toft's House in Caithness is a 10 minute walk from the broad, sweeping sands of Freswick Bay. Standing on the southwest shore of the bay is the imposing bulk of Freswick House and further along the coast is Freswick harbour the starting point for some interesting cliff top walks. This area is renowned for having beautiful scenery and for the peace and tranquillity which draw visitors who are hoping to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The house is ideal for families who love being outdoors. There are opportunities for both loch and sea fishing, cycling, and enjoying the abundant wildlife. About 10 miles away there is a golf course at Reiss. It is also an ideal base from which to explore the northern tip of Scotland. It is excellent for catching the ferry to the Orkney Isles from John o'Groats. Along the coast from John o'Groats you'll find the spectacular stacks of Duncansby and Duncansby Head Lighthouse.
The area is rich in history and there are many local sites to interest visitors. Approximately 8 miles away is the Castle of Mey with its beautiful gardens, formerly the much loved holiday home of the Queen Mother. The most northerly distillery is in Wick which produces Old Pultney whisky and is well worth a visit. Wick is well known for its Heritage Centre which tells of times gone by and the history of the local herring industry.
Toft's House has a star attraction of its own - reindeer! The owners have a small herd of reindeer which are wonderful to watch and feed - adults as well as children are enchanted by them!
