About this property
Set in the heart of Cromarty and enjoying sea views from the upstairs bedroom, this property makes a magical base to explore the area.. Located just a few steps from the sea, this lovely former fisherman’s cottage has been sympathetically and beautifully renovated to a high standard and is furnished and equipped to ensure as comfortable and relaxing holiday as possible. Tides, one of a pair, is set in the heart of Cromarty’s conservation area, with its cobbled streets, quaint shops and restaurants and lovely Georgian architecture. The village makes the perfect base for exploring this unspoilt and scenic part of the Highlands. Mountain biking, fishing, sea trips and water sports, golf and hill walking are just a few of the many activities this area has to offer. Take a trip to Inverness, the Highland Capital, Loch Ness, Culloden Battlefield and Fort George, all within easy reach. Take a walk up the ‘Hundred Steps’ to South Sutor; The Sutors are rocks on either side of the Cromarty Firth once thought to be the abode of two giant shoemakers. This area is steeped in history and culture and once visited, it will remain a beautiful memory. Shop 50 yards and pub 40 yards..

A perfect little cottage for us. Right by the sea. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we could need. Thoughtful welcome pack and logs available (£5 per basket) for the log burner. Cosy, well equipped and lots of attractions, walks and nice little gift shops nearby.Would highly recommend

Really lovely cottage very near the sea front. Very cute and gets brighter further up the house you go. Very comfortable, everything one would need for cooking. We were lucky with the weather so were out most of the time.Would definitely revisit.
