Olrig House is a charming historical estate near the beach. It was built by the Sinclairs in the 18th century. There are 60 acres of enchanting forests, wildlife, Victorian walled gardens and fields of grazing horses. The house is a unique blend of elegant charm with comforts of the modern world. The stunning large suites have superking beds, superb organic mattresses, and fireplaces. There are many luxurious sitting areas, and espresso and organic tea facilities in the rooms.
