A perfect retreat. A cosy and comfortable cottage with large dog-friendly garden. Hosts Paul and Margaret are friendly and helpful, leaving Welcome gifts of goodies and fresh flowers. The kitchen is well equipped, with oven, hob, microwave, toaster, air fryer and a washer-dryer. The bathroom includes a large shower with electric power shower, and very large bath towels. Two bedrooms with comfy beds, high quality bedding and plenty of storage.The cottage is an ideal base for exploring the Black Isle, Inverness and all areas via the A9.Plenty of things to do and delicious places to eat.

We had a lovely stay here and Paul our host was so helpful the entire stay. The place was warm and the bed was so comfortable. The garden was huge and our children loved playing ball while the sun was out. It was a great base for exploring. Thanks for the stay!
