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!

We loved our stay! Great surroundings and just the kind of peace and quiet we were looking for. Lovely cottage, very friendly hosts. Thanks so much for a great time.
The house is part of a farm. There are sheep, cattle and a dog. The owners are very welcoming and helpful. The furnishings are very cosy, high quality and lovingly put together. A perfect place to relax. We would love to come back here again.
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!
We had an exceptionally great stay in your croft. Shiobhan thank you for all. From the beginning we felt very welcome. This nice cottage is equipped with everthing for feeling well and relaxed. The surrounding area is even very beautiful and alive. Every day there are so much little lovely details to discover new. Everytime we came "home" we smiled. We had very kind and attentive hosts. We highly recommend this accomodation.
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 š
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.
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
Great place to stay, everything was thought about.
The location and accommodation were 1st class. Lovely walks from the doorstep. Quiet and peaceful. Lovely touches, flowers, tea, whiskey, personal essentials.
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.
This was by far worth every penny & minute we stayed for. Here 4 nights & was very cosy, comfortable & clean lots of little touches made it feel very like being at home. Excellent spot for Loch Ness & Fort william. Highly recommend for a peaceful secluded break away. Thank you Siobhan.
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 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.
Die Wohnung liegt etwas abgelegen vom eigentlichen Ort, aber wunderschƶn zwischen Bergen, es ist ruhig und man ist nur von Natur umgeben. Die Einrichtung ist super schƶn, liebevoll und stilvoll und das Bad ist modern mit einer tollen, groĆen Dusche. Bei gutem Wetter kann man auf der Terrasse sitzen und die Aussicht genieĆen.
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!
We waren blij verrast met dit prachtige huisje. Een lieve gastvrouw gaf ons een welkom gevoel.
Het huisje was uitzonderlijk smaakvol ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien.
We komen er graag nog eens terug.
Unsere herzliche Gastgeberin war ƤuĆerst hilfsbereit und freundlich. Für unsere Ankunft war alles vorbereitet. Es waren sogar Milch, Tee und Kekse bereitgestellt. AuĆerdem bekamen wir sogar Proben für Whisky und Gin zum kosten.
Das Haus war sauber, geschmackvoll und mit vielen kleinen Details gemütlich eingerichtet, so dass wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben.
Wir bekamen auch interessante infos für Touren und Besichtigungen in der Umgebung (inkl. einen Tipp zur Beobachtung einer Hirschkuh mit Nachwuchs praktisch vor der Haustür).
Einchecken war zu jeder Zeit durch den am Haus vorhandenen Schlüssel möglich.
Wer also die Natur und die dazu gehƶrige Ruhe mag, ist hier wirklich gut aufgehoben und wird von einer herzlichen Gastgeberin mit allem nƶtigen versorgt.
Wir kƶnnen diese Unterkunft uneingeschrƤnkt weiter empfehlen.
Wir haben selten einen so ruhigen und entspannten Aufenthalt genossen . Die Lage bietet generell eine gute Basis für schöne Ausflüge in der Umgebung .
Wir werden gerne wieder kommen .
Wir hatten eine ganz wunderbare Zeit in den Highlands. Man konnte spüren, dass Siobhan viel Liebe in dieses kleine HƤuschen gesteckt hat. Es war stimmig und mit vielen kleinen, süĆen Details eingerichtet. Man hatte alles was man brauchte, vom Kühlschrank, über zum Geschirr und allem mƶglichen für Kaffee und Tee und an kalten Tagen konnte man sich den kleinen Ofen anzünden. Alles war vorbereitet. Sie war sogar so lieb eine Milch in den Kühlschrank zu stellen und einen Champagner als Geschenk zur Hochzeit (es waren unsere Flitterwochen). Dort drauĆen in den Highlands konnte man sehr gut abschalten, die Ruhe und Zweisamkeit genieĆen. Der einzige Nachteil war dadurch (aber das sehe ich geradezu als selbsterklƤrend an), dass man relativ weite Wege in die Stadt und zu Restaurants hatte. Binnen 15min mit dem Auto konnte man aber immerhin zu einem kleinen Einkaufsladen in Beauly kommen.
Siobhan war auch so freundlich Empfehlungen zur Umgebung, Reiserouten und Restaurants zu geben. Für alle mit Wanderlust und Freude auf ein schönes Fleckchen Natur ist dies das perfekte Reiseziel!
Perfekt eingerichtet und super gemütlich mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Obwohl etwas abgelegen ist man schnell in Beauly mit sehr guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants. Inverness ist auch schnell erreichbar. Gute Basis für Ausflüge in die Umgebung wie Urquhart Castle, Culloden, Ullapool oder Dunrobin.
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
