  This property has a superb location and was exactly as described.

  The outside of the property gave no indication of the quality inside which was excellent. The farmer on site ( Tom) was easy to get along with and nothing was too much trouble. We had a few issues with the heating system (including the non working shower in one of the bedrooms ) which required a plumber to investigate and sort out for us which was satisfactorily resolved quickly. Some points of constructive comment follow. 1. There is no mirror in the twin bed room upstairs - this would have been nice especially as this room had no en-suite and the bathroom was on the other side of the landing. 2. Two of the ventilation fans in the en - suites ( downstairs bedroom and upstairs double room) were not working. 3. The range oven clearly had a thermostat problem as whatever temperature it was set at for the main oven, it was recording 40degrees below - we tested a range of temperatures from 100 degrees to 230 degrees and found this to be the case. Cooking chicken in this oven would have been a no no. 4. The statement on the booking site that electric vehicles cannot be charged on site needs to be altered. It should, in my opinion, read “the electricity charges for the house rental do not include those for EV charging. The costs for this will require to be paid in addition.” EV’s can be charged by mains cable obviously ( albeit slowly) overnight but perhaps with the ever increasing use of EVs, the house needs to be brought up to date. 5. An outside tap and hose would have been nice for car washing as the long main drive to the house is extremely dusty in dry weather and for owners who prefer to keep their cars clean, this would have been a welcome addition to the facilities. We did have an excellent stay in this house albeit with a few issues and if what I have mentioned above got looked at and sorted, I would have awarded 5 stars.

  My family and I booked this property to celebrate a 30th birthday of a family friend, we live only 20 minutes away and needed to be nearby as we all have animals that need daily attention, so we had a “stacation”.

  Easter Urray was everything we had hoped for and more, as a very keen cook the kitchen and the larder were very well equipped and once I got the hang of the gas hob we got on fine, the enormous utility room was great for the dog and all our outdoor things. The kitchen was ideal for cosy family suppers and for our more formal dinners the dining room was perfect. One of our guests summed it up perfectly “grand but cosy”. The house was so warm on arrival that we had to turn the underfloor heating down as the weather was mild, loved the wood burning stoves, we all live in the country but found it very peaceful and great for all ages. I loved it so much, that I really did not want to leave, I have hired many properties over the years and have to say that this was most definitely my favourite and we will be back, the owner was helpful and met us on arrival, we knew if we needed anything he was there but he respected our privacy which was appreciated. A ***** property.

  The house is accessed via a long track, which is potholed.

  The accommodation is very well set out and having three double bedrooms with good on suite bathrooms is excellent, but in my opinion two of the mattresses are in need of replacement. The sitting rooms are an ideal size, but furniture is uncomfortable and probably two years past the date when it should have been replaced. The house was not dirty, but not cleaned to a very high standard. There was a slice of toast under one of the settees and a dogs ball under one of the beds. We realised that dogs were allowed in the house, but disappointed with the number of dogs hairs on the settees. The kitchen is a great size and is well equipped, but the cooker could do with a deep clean. We could not find any instructions for any of the equipment. We had hoped that during our two week stay that there might have been an offer of clean towels and bedding at the end of the first week, but this did not happen.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Rowan House.

  It’s roomy for 5 people, pretty hi-tech and my son loved the electric reclining sofas and now is saving up his pocket money to buy one! The kitchen had lots of storage and was well equipped (although lacking in forks if I’m being picky). Lots of appliances; dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. The bathrooms were lovely (no bath but the showers were lovely). The place was immaculately clean and in a great location for exploring the area. The entrance rug is very slippery. We spent our evenings playing board games and the dining table was perfect for this. Parking is not a problem, free street parking just a few meters down the road. Extremely good value for money and I would highly recommend this property.

  Very comfortable and spacious farmhouse in a quiet location approx 2 miles from Muir of Ord.

  The farmhouse is situated in its own ground within a busy working farm however the work is not obtrusive and in fact adds to the overall experience. Nearby are many forest walks and other attractions and with easy access to shopping quality local produce is assured. The farmhouse is well maintained and kitted out. With such a large kitchen dining area it’s superb for a large family gathering and proved to be our favourite space. Our sincere thanks to Tom and Donna for the welcome pack and, despite being incredibly busy with the lambing season, for looking after us in such a friendly manner throughout our stay.
