Craobahn Cottage - Black Isle

This attractive single-storey cottage on the Black Isle peninsula in Ross and Cromarty, with beautiful countryside all around, is perfectly located for exploring the Scottish Highlands. With a twin bedroom and a double, it’s ideal for friends or family who want to enjoy the great outdoors. It has a large secure garden with a fire pit and a BBQ for evenings under the stars, and you’ll find shops and pubs just 4 miles away.

The bungalow has stunning views from its lovely light and bright rooms and provides a welcoming home from home, somewhere cosy to relax and recharge after an exciting day out.

Arriving inside, you’ll come to the small hall where you can store your coats and boots, then you’ll find the open-plan kitchen/lounge. It’s the ideal space to spend time together cooking, chatting, or just relaxing. The room looks out onto the nearby woodlands where there are frequent bird and squirrel visitors. Pop something to watch on the Smart TV or put some music on the stereo and enjoy the views across the garden from the French doors.

Then head to the cosy bedrooms – a double and a twin – for a great night’s sleep. The double has a convenient en-suite shower room and there’s a family bathroom where you can have a good soak and revive tired muscles after an action-packed day.

There’s a big garden with somewhere to sit and enjoy the peace, as well as a fire pit and a BBQ if you fancy spending your evenings outdoors. Kids will love the large lawn, and the garden is secure, so they’ll be safe running around and playing. There’s also secure storage if you want to take your bikes or golf clubs away with you.
