  We had a great time staying in Rowan Lodge.

  It was lovely and warm when we arrived & as we had read other reviews about bringing a torch it meant that we could find the lodge no problem despite it being dark outside. The setting is pretty as it's right in the woods and we went on a lovely walk with the dog up into the hills and through the forest. There are lots of different walks you can take so it's a great area for hill walking and mountain biking. We were visiting our daughter so we were able to cater for our grandchildren who stayed with us for a few nights. The beds were very comfy and the lodge had everything we needed. Strathpeffer is very scenic and there is so much to do and see in the surrounding area. If you are looking for real peace and quiet then the lodge is ideal for getting away from it all. We think it would be really good to come back in the summer time as the deck outside is very spacious and ideal for sitting out watching the birds. Looking forward to our next visit very much.

  Lilac cottage is the perfect getaway, and it is beautifully presented, clean, spacious and has a secure garden which was adored my my assistance dog.

  The double mattress is worn out - hard, lumpy and has lost all its loft so that the buttons stick up, and that caused a lot of pain for me that really impacted my holiday. I have a disability, so it is bound to be a bigger problem for me though... My other half found it uncomfortable but not painful, and was able to sleep. There was no visitor book with info on the house, or a guest book for us to read recommendations from previous guests. The kitchen is a lovely place to cook and eat, having a little freezer is a bonus, but it would have been useful to know in advance that, unlike most holiday lets, there were no consumables whatsoever - we came with our own tea, coffee, milk, sandwich bags and general food supplies as we usually do, but this was the first place we have stayed where there was no salt, pepper, oil, bin bags, washing up liquid, soap etc. In most respects lilac cottage is an absolute gem, in the perfect location for a Highland getaway.

  Beautiful location directions and sat nav not clear had to call owner who answered promptly and gave us directions whilst driving if instructions had used bus stops on main road and large white house at beginning of lane as signposts it would have been easier to find we arrived in daylight if arriving in the dark in less favourable weather it would have been frustrating after a long journey also welcome pack was a bag of local sweets probably our misunderstanding but in other holiday let’s that’s has been milk at least this needs to be made clear as was frustrating to have to go to find local shop in the village for tea coffee and milk after journey Strathpeffer is a beautiful village and the lodge is in a peaceful location surrounded by lovely walks but as a group of 4 adults our opinion it looks and feels in need of refurbishment

  Myself and my partner have just had the best week ever.

  The cottage was perfect in every way, this has been our favourite holiday cottage that we have stayed in. The cottage has everything that is needed. It was clean comfortable, and had incredible views. I loved, just sitting, looking at the views, the sheep in the next field and all the birds. We sat and watched kites hunting, as the cottage is situated high up on the hillside, we were actually looking down on the kites. We could hear lots of different birds including cuckoos and Owls in the evening. This cottage is a hidden little gem, and is a lot better than the pictures show. You have the seclusion plus about 15 minutes away from shops and other amenities, including a huge Tesco’s. We would go back in a heartbeat. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

  We enjoyed a fabulous family retreat in Rowan Lodge surrounded by nature in Blackmuir Woods.

  The chalet was cosy, well equipped and the welcome pack left by our kind host much appreciated on arrival. We had everything we needed for a most enjoyable 5 night stay. Deer prints in the snow surrounding the chalet produced much excitement as did watching the bluetits and other birds feeding from just outside the window. We enjoyed lovely walks in the woods and around Strathpeffer. From up the nearby hill we could see Red Kites soaring and landing in close proximity. Inverness is only half an hour away for shopping, cinema, Aquadome. Unfortunately the icerink was closed for maintainance. We would love to return to this location and highly recommend this group of chalets to anyone wanting a Highland retreat.
