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!

Absolutely Amazing!!
A beautiful home in a stunning location! Everything about this property, down to the tiniest detail had the WOW factor! The quality of the furnishings & fittings are of an extremely high standard. Very easily a 5 star accommodation. Siobhan was very welcoming & made sure we had everything we needed, she made sure we were warm enough & even changed our towels half way through our weeks stay. Such a lovely lady. We will definitely be returning & also recommending to everyone we know. We look forward to coming back again soon.

A perfect stay
Your croft cottage is just perfect in every respect. The peace and tranquility of the location and comfortable accommodation is so enhanced by all your beautiful touches. A wonderful home for our week, with cycling and walking straight from the door. We've loved sitting and watching the many birds in your garden. Thank you Siobhan - we may well be back one day!

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

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!

Just perfect, the Croft exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a rural location with modern amenities and a log fire, this ticked all our boxes. The owner made us feel very welcome and was on hand if we needed anything including hints and tips of where to go and what to do. Would we return? Yes, we absolutely would.

Quality Highland Accommodation
We stayed a week at this property and were absolutely delighted with it. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything that we needed and some lovely personal touches which made it so homely. Siobhan obviously has an eye for detail. The location was just perfect for peace and quiet and ideal as a base for both long and short walks in the surrounding area. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a holiday here!

Little piece of heaven !
We fell in in love with this beautiful property . It was warm and cosy with amazing views . The decor and ambience were great giving the feel of luxury but with an easy comfort that made you instantly feel at home ! All the fixtures, fittings , linens , crockery etc were quality and a joy to use ! However what really makes this cottage so special is the little touches that Siobhan has added all the lovely books , pictures , fresh flowers , antiques , welcome shortbread biscuits and the wee dram of whiskey ! The location may seem remote but is easily accessible and so worth it for the amazing view and total peace and quiet . This little gem is a long way from our home but I am already trying to plan another stay !

Beautiful cottage in the highlands
My husband and I spent three nights in this beautiful property. Located in some gorgeous mountains, it’s isolated enough to to be quiet but close enough to cafes and shops for groceries if you want them. Siobhan has made a fantastic job of the cottage, everything about the property is high quality and she has thought of every need her guests might have including a cosy wood burner, guide books, suggested itineraries for the surrounding area and Scottish soaps which smell incredible. I would recommend this property to anyone.

A quiet and relaxing Hogmanay under a starry sky surrounded by the beauty of the Highlands.
This property was excellent in every way. It was warm and cosy. The space had been well designed to accommodate all of the essentials needed for a relaxing stay. The owners had it beautifully decorated and it is so well cared for. A lot of thought had gone into providing additional touches that made you feel welcome. The fresh flowers made it even more special. The bird feeders outside the bedroom window were well located to ensure usage by a wide variety of different small birds. The veranda was also good for wildlife viewing. The property was ideally situated for walking whatever the weather whether locally or in the surrounding area.

Schöne Wohnung im schottischen Outback
Die Wohnung liegt etwas abgelegen vom eigentlichen Ort, aber wunderschön zwischen Bergen, es ist ruhig und man ist nur von Natur umgeben. Die Einrichtung ist super schön, liebevoll und stilvoll und das Bad ist modern mit einer tollen, großen Dusche. Bei gutem Wetter kann man auf der Terrasse sitzen und die Aussicht genießen. Siobhan ist eine unfassbar nette Gastgeberin, die sich täglich erkundigt hat, ob wir etwas benötigen. Sie hat uns ihre Schafe gezeigt und wir durften sie streicheln. Zudem hat sie uns mit Tipps zur Umgebung versorgt. Alles in allem ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt und ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen!
