Many parents of young children wonder whether there's any point in going on holiday - same stress, different place, is the general feeling.  At a time of life when a holiday is frankly an absolute necessity, rather than a nice-to-have, this seems like a cruel blow.  But, step forward Chateau de Gurat, a One Off Place in sunny rural France which will answer all your prayers.

This dog friendly luxury holiday home on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides has stunning views across an Atlantic sea loch; a front row seat to a dramatic ever changing landscape.  Ideal for a winter escape - spot the Northern Lights, explore empty beaches and reconnect with nature.

Or on stormy days you can cosy up indoors and gaze through the picture windows to the sea loch and hills beyond as the weather, landscape & colours change by the hour.
