Cottage in The Highlands

About this property

On the edge of the Victorian spa town of Strathpeffer, this charming cottage is perfectly positioned to explore the rugged countryside and magnificent scenery of the Scottish Highlands.

The leafy Victorian spa town of Strathpeffer (1 mile) was a renowned European health resort and today is a popular destination for visitors to the Highlands due to its position on the North Coast 500 route. Browse the independent stores, sample local produce in the restaurants and enjoy a dram of whisky in the welcoming pubs. The town is also home to the Strathpeffer Pavilion which hosts music and arts events throughout the year. Pick up your paddle for a sea kayak adventure from Garve (8.5 miles) or enjoy a round of golf at one of the nearby courses. Further afield, explore the historic town of Inverness (17 miles) or spend the day in the picturesque fishing village of Ullapool (40 miles). Enjoying a peaceful location, your holiday home is approached via iron gates leading onto the gravelled driveway. Step through the front door into the welcoming entrance hall, where there is space to hang up coats and take off walking boots and wellies. Your living room is a cosy and inviting space, with hardwood floors and bright artwork. Sink into one of the comfortable sofas after a busy day of exploration for quiet conversation or a family board game. Two steps lead up to the kitchen/diner where the hardwood flooring continues, giving a sense of unity of space. Rustle up family meals in the sleek kitchen which comes complete with everything you require to produce hearty family meals, including electric hob and oven, under counter fridge and separate freezer, and a dishwasher.
