About this property

Mor Carraig - Stunning Views Of Loch Ness - Perfect For Families And Couples

  • Mor Carraig is a traditional highland cottage, situated on an acre of grounds, with stunning views of Loch Ness and the mountains beyond. Dating back to the 1850's this cottage has been renovated and maintained to an exceptionally high standard making it the perfect holiday getaway for families and couples alike. Soak up the relaxed, friendly atmosphere of the Abriachan rural community with the knowledge that the amenities and convenience of Inverness, the highland capital, are only 9 miles away. Mor Carraig has a lovely cosy sitting room, perfect for a romantic evening by the open fire or for the family to enjoy spending time, just being together. Don't forget your bath salts and aromatherapy oils and experience the pure indulgence of sinking slowly into the large deep tub, leaving the stress of modern life far behind. The spacious, warm and comfortable bedrooms will welcome you to a perfect nights sleep and during the day you will be drawn to the splendid conservatory complete with lounge and dining furniture. There could be nowhere more perfect to have your breakfast and take in the magnificent views of Loch Ness. Morning Coffee will never be the same, enjoy a leisurely lunch or best of all, an evening sitting around the dining table with your family and friends chatting and at the same time being spoilt by the ever changing and never ending views. French doors from the conservatory take you to the garden, ideal for a relaxing afternoon, alfresco dining and the children will just love its freedom.

Great place to stay

The house was fantastic; we really enjoyed staying here. It was great to light a fire and play card games in the living room while it was freezing cold and snowing outside. The view was awesome. We had a little trouble finding the place in the dark, with signs covered in snow. Maps sent us a couple houses down, but it was a fantastic place to stay.

Beautiful house & area

So homely, easy to relax here and whatever the weather there is always plenty to do. Walks are easy to access from the door, dolphins up the road, castles, waterfalls, fossil beach on the Black Isle and always reading or games in the conservatory. Inverness itself is so convenient but you feel as if you’re fully in the countryside. Our second holiday here and hopefully not our last.

Perfect Stay

We absolutely loved our week at Mor Carraig! We came to Scotland on holiday and this was the perfect home base for our adventures. The view was so lovely from the conservatory. We spent a lot of time in there, playing card games, sharing meals. The property managers were a pleasure to communicate with. The kitchen was well appointed. We would happily return anytime. Make sure to check out the trails just up the road. Dores Beach was stunning and would be a great spot for having lunch al fresco.

Serenity and Beauty at its Finest!

Our stay was exactly what we needed..tranquility, beauty and comfort! The cottage was perfect in every way, a cozy retreat away from the hustle of the city and close enough to be convenient. Comfortable beds and bedrooms, a nicely appointed kitchen and utility room, 2 bathrooms and a cozy living room and conservatory with awesome views makes this home 5 stars and then some! Thank you for letting us stay, we hope to be back someday soon.

Lovely house, great views of Loch Ness and easy to get to local shops and Inverness. Only downside was the sofa and lounge chairs in the conservatory which need a good clean as they were quite dirty.

A much needed break

The house is set in a private but not secluded position with excellent views over loch Ness towards the mountains. The conservatory might get a bit cold, it was the middle of winter after all, but the main house is cosy and warm with plenty of fuel for the open fire if you care to use it. The kitchen is well appointed and the utility room set out so washing cloths is easy. All in all, an excellent place to stay and recharge. Both the owner and property manager were easy to reach for the few issues that came up and things went very smoothly.

Superb location

Family home with all the necessary amenities. Plenty of room for everyone. The views from the conservatory are to die for, uninterrupted views of Loch Ness. The main sitting area with its panelled walls and open fire offers a cosy warm and feels very ‘Scottish’. The kitchen and utility room are large and have everything you need for your stay. Bedroom downstairs was very roomy, however the downstairs shower room has a high step into shower and we found it too high for my elderly mother. The owner is looking into redesigning this, to make it more user friendly. The two rooms upstairs are large and I must confess we moved the bed in our room to see the views when we woke up, rather than facing wardrobes. Plenty of wardrobes and drawers for clothes in both bedrooms. Bathroom is large, with a large bath and walk in shower. Garden front and back is large enough for for children and dogs to safely play as it is gated. Overall the home is perfect for visiting other areas. A car is essential here and in Inverness there are plenty of supermarkets. The owner is very prompt at replying to any problems. We noted in the conservatory three windows had blown spoiling the view, but I sent him a message and he thanked me and said he would get someone over. In fact I feel that unless to inform owners good or bad; things cannot be changed. You certainly cannot say this is not good value because it is. It’s warm, welcoming and homely. I would highly recommend it.

One amazing anniversary trip!

My husband and I decided to go to Scotland for our 10th anniversary, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. I have heavy Scottish heritage through my maternal line, and have always felt drawn. Turns out even picking this place was a draw... There is a crest above the fireplace that said "MacDonald of Clanranald", which would have been started by the brother of my Glengarry line. It was meant to be! The views from Mor Carraig are awe-inspiring. We had incredible weather and loved the sunrises. We visited a lot of different places all over the Highlands. Being US travelers that are used to driving everywhere... It's a great jumping off point. The roads can be a little scary though. Mor Carraig itself was great. We enjoyed sitting in the conservatory, and the living room was very comfortable in the evening. The cooking supplies could use a refresh (pans, cooking utensils, pizza cutter), but otherwise the kitchen worked great. Something to note is that one of the pictures shows a dryer in the utility room, but it's not on the description and it's not there. That's my bad for not looking at the description closer... But just make sure you are prepared to hang your clothes! There's racks for that purpose, and we made use of the conservatory to help speed it up as well. We would most definitely stay again! Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved our stay here. We didn't want to leave. It is such a beautiful cottage and such a convenient location for daily outings. A few things we would recommend would be to supply recycling sorting bins (small ones) in the kitchen. We would also have enjoyed some throw blankets. Also, all the knives were quite dull, so take your own. But the cookware was excellent quality and the range is amazing.

The home is very nice; Spacious, clean and comfortable. The sun room was really a highlight for us as it was warm place to spend time during a rather cool week of weather. The kitchen was excellent and had everything needed for preparing your own meals. We enjoyed the easy access and being able to walk to the many different trails in the surrounding area. However, we were quite surprised and disappointed that we couldn’t control the thermostat. (It was controlled remotely by the owner who decided what temperature was ‘comfortable’). We travel extensively and understand how expensive heat can be in certain parts of the world, but we would prefer to be charged for using extra heat than to be uncomfortable. Asking permission to change the temperature is not hospitable nor should it be necessary. One other item to note: the windows do not include block out shades. Thankfully, we travel with eye masks and would highly recommend them for your stay.

Beautiful views, lovely cosy and clean home. Amazing that you get access to a personal log store!! The only slight downside for is was the wifi listed wasn't available even when we tried a manual connection to it, so we had connected the tv to our own hotspot. Also the hot water wasn't warm enough to run a full bath (my partner has back issues so that was the only need for the bath) but shower was lovely with great pressure too.We did contact Polly, the house manager (who was great) just to query the heating timing for upstairs as it wouldnt be as warm due to the thermostat being located in the livingroom where the fire keeps the temperature in that room much warmer. But the heating will come on throughout the house when the livingroom temperature drops.Overall, we loved staying here and would definitely recommend.
