Guests say

Grieve's Cottage receives glowing praise for its spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated interiors, set in a stunning and peaceful location ideal for dog owners and nature lovers. Guests particularly enjoy the secure garden, hot tub, and easy access to scenic walks and beaches. The hosts are frequently described as welcoming and helpful, contributing to a homely atmosphere. Minor issues such as firm beds, occasional water pressure fluctuations, and limited crockery are mentioned but do not detract from overwhelmingly positive experiences. Many guests express a desire to return, highlighting the cottage as a favourite getaway.

Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as spotless, clean, and well maintained both inside and out. Only one minor mention of hot tub water needing service, which was promptly addressed.

The location is repeatedly praised for its outstanding scenery, peacefulness, and proximity to beaches, walks, and local attractions. Guests appreciate the remote yet accessible setting.

Guests find the cottage spacious, cosy, and restful, with comfortable beds and a relaxing atmosphere. A few mention the beds being firm, which is noted as personal preference, and some minor water pressure issues.

Facilities such as the hot tub, secure garden, and well-equipped kitchen are highly valued. Some guests note limited crockery and cutlery, but overall facilities are considered excellent and well maintained.

There are no specific mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches beyond friendly and helpful hosts, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

This single-storey end terraced farm cottage (whose name derives from the Scottish for farm foreman) has been extensively renovated and refurbished whilst retaining its original charm, including exposed stone walls and dry stone walling. It is set at the end of a quiet private lane on the owner’s working farm. Whilst the main living area is open plan, a sense of luxury is created with deep leather sofa suites and attractive lighting. The kitchen is accessed through an original exposed stone wall. Large canvases of the surrounding area add to the unique charm of this superbly presented cottage. Outside, a gravelled path leads out to the hot tub area, enclosed by fencing and original stone walls, it is private and secluded. A charming summer house overlooking the hot tub has comfortable outdoor dining chairs and there is a table for alfresco dining by the tub.

The charming and historic seaside village of Portmahomack has a good selection of amenities, including a shop, pub, café and two restaurants and is just 1 mile away and less than a mile from the cottage you will find Portmahomack Tarbat Golf Club. With its horseshoe shaped sandy bay and superb mountain backdrop, it is a wonderful place to walk, picnic, swim or kayak. The harbour and pier are ideal for small boats, a spot of crabbing or fishing. The region is noted for its archaeological sites and at the nearby Tarbat Discovery Centre there is a fascinating display of Pict, Norse and Medieval artefacts. There are lovely walks direct from the cottage. A trip out to the local lighthouse further along the lane is a must, with the opportunity to spot seals, dolphins and numerous seabirds. The nearby town of Tain has further excellent facilities, including restaurants, supermarkets and bars. Grieve’s Cottage is ideally located for exploring the whole of the Highland region and will provide a memorable and indulgent pampering break for all. Beach 1 mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

    Had an excellent break would highly recommend it. Lovely cottage extremely clean wouldn’t hesitate to revisit. I have one complaint , I would recommend upgrading the shower.

    A delightful place with a lovely well kept lawned garden, which was very secure for our dog. The views around were wonderful, especially the prancing lambs in the field.The cottage was spacious and had everything we needed. The main bedroom with en-suite had a king size bed and the mattress was firm. We had the best sleep we'd had in a long time! We highly recommend this cottage.
