The house is gorgeous and has the perfect view. To start the day looking out of the great window upon the Moray Firth is something that I will definitely miss and remember for ever! There's also lots to do nearby and we definitely recommend visiting spots like Cawdor Castle, Culloden Battlefields and Fort George. But it's also just a short drive to places like Aviemore and we definitely recommend the Quad Treks and the Escape Room there. It was just such a lovely holiday and the owners are so nice and helpful. We felt really welcomed and enjoyed it a lot! :-)

Lovely views, and great sunsets from the lounge. Nice open plan living/ dining kitchen space. Decor was fresh and all was spotlessly clean. The beds were very hard and none of us slept well unfortunately, hence only 4 stars.
