Nestled deep in the hills down a winding driveway, Farr’s picturesque and private location has made it host to a number of illustrious guests, including The Duke of Gloucester, the writer Peter Fleming, and his wife, the actress Celia Johnson.
The beautiful setting of Farr feels unspoilt. With its expansive grounds, ancient woodland and views to the heather-clad hills, the traditional Highland landscape looks very much unaltered. In 2014 there were even some bowls discovered nearby that dated back to the Iron Age, that still lie in the field behind the walled gardens.
