Stay on a first class train in the heart of the highlands halfway between Inverness and John O'Groats. The two railway carriages have been tastefully converted, with many original features. One sleeps 8, one is subdivided to sleep 4 and 2. There are two beds per room, and a kitchen, dining room, sitting room, showers and toilets. They are heated and non-smoking. All bedding is included. There is also a cosy showman's wagon which sleeps up to three, and an old waiting room converted into a modern studio apartment which is ideal for a couple or family of three. Four trains per day in each direction serve this small crofting community which has a shop, post office and pub with restaurant. Glenmorangie and Clynelish distilleries, Dunrobin castle and Helmsdale's Heritage Centre are easy to reach by train or car. See the silver salmon leap at Lairg and the seabirds and seals in Loch Fleet. Or just enjoy the peace of Rogart.
The climate is good and the midges are less prevalent than in the west! Families welcome. Free use of bikes for guests.
