The details
Perched just outside the village of Tongue along Scotland’s iconic North Coast 500, The Rising is a striking modern hideaway designed exclusively for two. Wrapped in dramatic black Shou-Sugi-Ban timber, this architect-crafted retreat blends seamlessly into its wild surroundings while delivering a bold sense of style. From the moment you arrive, uninterrupted views of the rugged Highland landscape set the tone for a peaceful, design-led escape where nature takes centre stage.
Inside, the space is beautifully curated with clean lines, warm textures and an abundance of natural light pouring through floor-to-ceiling windows. The open-plan living area invites you to slow down, whether you’re curled up on the sofa with a good book, enjoying your favourite music through the sound system or settling in for a cosy film night. The fully equipped quaint kitchen is equipped with an oven, hob, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, making it perfect for preparing simple meals using local produce, while the intimate dining table for two creates the ideal setting for long, relaxed dinners together.
The bedroom offers a comfy double bed dressed for restful nights, where you can wake slowly to soft morning light and sweeping rural views. Every element has been thoughtfully considered to create a calm, comfortable and romantic atmosphere.
Step outside onto your private decking and the experience becomes even more special. Open the glass door on warmer days and let the fresh Highland air drift in, or sink into the outdoor bath as the sun dips behind the hills. This is a place for stargazing, soaking in silence and watching Highland cows and sheep wander peacefully through the surrounding fields depending on the season.
Beyond your secluded retreat, Sutherland offers some of Scotland’s most breathtaking scenery and unforgettable experiences. You're a one-minute drive from the beach meaning it's nice and easy to explore the golden sands of nearby beaches like Talmine and Achmelvich, hike dramatic peaks such as Ben Hope or take in the views from the Kyle of Tongue. Wildlife lovers can spot seals, seabirds and even dolphins along the coast, while scenic drives along the NC500 reveal hidden lochs, waterfalls and ancient ruins. Whether you’re seeking adventure or pure relaxation, this remarkable corner of the Highlands delivers it in abundance.
