St Brighs enjoys a stunning location, perched right on the shores of the renowned Cromarty Firth. Originally a boathouse and built of solid stone in the 1860s, St Brighs has been extensively modernised, whilst retaining much of its unique historic character. The gardens surrounding the cottage lead immediately onto the shoreline, which plays host to a wide and fascinating variety of animals and birds. It is completely secluded, ensuring that nature is your sole companion when you stay in this very special place. An original solid wood door opens onto the kitchen/dining room. A large wood burner nestles in the corner, providing a warm and cosy ambience. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped, with built-in units and appliances. The main living room at the rear of the cottage has French doors which open onto the garden and directly onto the shores of the Cromarty Firth. The staircase, made of Douglas fir, leads up to the first floor. Here there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. One has a kingsize bed, with a beautiful original ornate window looking out across the water. The second has twin 3ft beds, with the window looking out across the garden to the water beyond. The country gardens surround the property, with a solid fence protecting the garden from the water’s edge. A gate opens directly onto the shoreline, which is tidal. Although fenced off, small children must be supervised at all times.
In addition to the peaceful setting and beautiful views over the Firth to the Black Isle, St Brighs is ideally located for exploring the Highland region. It is just 2 miles from the bustling market town of Dingwall, where there are a number of shops, supermarkets, pubs, cafés and restaurants. Walkers will enjoy the range of forestry tracks in the locality and for the more adventurous there is the towering ridge of Ben Wyvis, the local Munro mountain. A trip to the Black Isle peninsula, with its stunning beaches, fascinating museums and pretty villages is a must. The coastline is home to the famous Moray Firth dolphins, which can often be spotted close to shore. Golf, fishing, cycling, kayaking, sailing and birdwatching are all local pastimes. Beach 17 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.
There is a tidal feature between 5 and 100 yards away, children must be supervised at all times.

What can I say, where do I start? Absolutely fantastic property in a perfect setting, upon arriving we knew instantly that we would be at home here, we live on the Yorkshire Coast and are never far from water, but my word this place is on the water😊.We had excellent communication with Mary who came to meet us while we were there which was a lovely touch, there is everything you could ever want and need there ( and more) it is a wonderful location for scooting off around the highlands and north east Scotland which we have done, handy for Dingwall with the local shops and supermarkets just 10 mins down Road. I could rant on forever but I will end this review with a big smile on my face and wonderful memories of a superb week- shall we return- NO QUESTION ABOUT IT !!!🤗

Another lovely fortnight at St Brighs. Fabulous accommodation in a beautiful location right on the estuary near the Cromarty Bridge. Great for chilling, listening to the tide come and go , and of course the many birds. Owners take great pride in the house and garden and make you feel very welcome like family. This was our 5th visit, which speaks for itself. Molly, our border collie loves it as much as we do. Thanks to Mary, Gordon and Colin. We'll be back!
