We had a fabulous New Year break at Rock Folly, house was perfect and exceptionally equipped with everything we needed for a family break. Lots to do and experience in the local area. Culloden, Loch Ness, Black Isle and Nairn were our highlights. Excellent local pub with delicious bar meals at the Star Inn and also recommend Classroom in Nairn.
