Scottish Highlands - Tranquil & Cosy Rural Cottage, surrounded by wildlife

Relax in this comfortable, very clean, cosy and warm, cottage, perfect for a short holiday for two.

This self-contained apartment is in the countryside in a highland glen. The cottage is exclusively yours, with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room and a porch with seating outside and views to the hill where deer and sheep graze.

Amenities:
The kitchen is well equipped; high quality towels and linens are provided; Arran soaps and shampoos; hairdryer; books, DVDs and board games for cosy nights in front of the log-burning stove.

The cottage is cleaned to a high standard including all crockery and cutlery put through a hot dishwasher before your stay, and linens professionally cleaned.

Location:
This is a great location for days out: Loch Ness is only a 20 minute drive and Inverness 1/2 hour. Ullapool is only 1 1/4 hour drive. Glenfinnan viaduct is 2 hours away. The Isle of Skye is 2 hours away. Cromarty is a half hour drive. We are close to the NC500 route.
Quiet, secluded and peaceful yet perfect as a base for exploring the Highlands of Scotland.

Access:
This annexe to our crofthouse has its own entrance door and a porch to store bikes and outdoor gear, or sit with a drink and good book. The cottage is all on one ground-floor level, with one step into the entrance porch.

The accommodation comprises a living room with a wood burning stove and a small kitchen, a bedroom with double bed, hall and shower room. Underfloor heating throughout. The apartment is exclusively yours.

This is a great base for hillwalking, cycling, photography, painting, bird watching, fishing, golfing, star gazing, the whisky trail or tracing your family or clan history. Outlander fans have lots to experience in this Clan Fraser area. Only a few miles from the scenic North coast 500 route. Just 20 minutes drive to Loch Ness, where you can take boat cruises to find Nessie! Beautiful scenery on the road from here to Skye and the west coast, or down to the Cairngorms, or across to picturesque villages on the Black Isle.


Things to note - the location is rural, along a single track road and a short farm track - the nearest shops and restaurants are 15 minutes drive. This rural location means there is no traffic noise or streetlights, the sky is dark and starry, and there's lots of wildlife including deer, badgers, foxes, buzzards, red kites, red squirrels and pine marten.

Perfect if you are looking for rest and recuperation.

We look forward to meeting you!

Gold standard hosting
What a beautiful property, everything had been thought of. The cottage was super-clean and cosy with lovely views and friendly hosts. If the weather had been cold we would have been very snug with the underfloor heating and wood-burner. As it was, we were just right and Siobhan had included lots of little extras which made it extra special. Highly recommended 😊

Tranquil perfection
A very welcoming site after a long drive , lights on, welcome message and all that we needed for drinks and nibbles . The cottage is beautifully decorated with all that is needed. A fab porch gives shelter for sitting out in the morning, breakfast or coffee time and evening for gin and sundown. Slept well in the comfy bed and the bathroom is lovely. Beautiful tranquil views and wildlife aplenty. Deer, birds and farm animals. A perfect location and home from home for some well earned R&R

Amazing place to stay, loved every single minute, everything was perfect.
This property is in a class of its own, the views are absolutely perfect, such a relaxing place to stay, and you cannot fault Siobhan and Garry as hosts. When you hear birds a couple of feet away from you all day and see deer coming down the hill we knew we would love it, credit to you both, x

A lovely stay in a beautiful apartment.
My husband and I had the most relaxing time staying in this lovely apartment. Siobhan has thought of so many little touches to make it a comfortable and peaceful place to stay and the welcome gifts were a lovely treat. I would highly recommend a stay here, it feels peaceful and out of the way whilst being close to many of the attractions of the Highlands.

Everything about this property is first class, from the delightful owners, the dozens of little extra touches such as lovely flowers, a range of toiletries and beauty items to rival a 5 star hotel and beautiful peaceful surroundings. Siobahn could not have been more attentive to our needs as my husband is disabled and she immediately offered a more upright chair from her own home if we wanted it. I would recommend this property to anyone and can only thank Siobahn and Garry for providing such a wonderful experience

Beautiful Holiday
Siobhan’s property is absolutely beautiful, we had the most wonderful long weekend staying at the Croft. The apartment comes with all the little luxuries that anyone would want, making it feel incredibly homely with a personal touch. The decor is beautiful and fits in perfectly with the stunning setting of the property. The areas is very peaceful and fantastic for getting out walking and exploring nature. I can’t recommended this property and Siobhan highly enough!
