Immerse yourselves in the enchanting natural beauty of Easter Ross when you book this holiday hideaway in the scenic Scottish Highlands. Sleeping just two guests, with the potential of an extra on a sofa bed, the one-bedroom cottage is close to Loch Eye, 4.5 miles from the historic market town of Tain. Head out to explore the beautiful area around you on foot, then return to relax in your private, outdoor seating area.

Arrive at the cottage to discover it is set within the owner’s garden but benefits from exceptional privacy. Step up and onto the veranda to let yourself inside via the French doors. Find yourselves in a modern open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This stylish space encompasses a chic, well-fitted-out kitchen/diner, with all the equipment you need for self-catering. Sit down to meals together at the breakfast bar here. The lounge, where the comfortable sofa can be transformed into a bed, is the perfect place to relax between your exciting trips out. Unwind with the sunshine streaming through the French doors on fine sunny days. Watch the Smart TV inside or enjoy the easy flow between indoors and out. As the sun sets on Easter Ross, stroll through to your inviting king-size bedroom. This has the added benefit of an en-suite shower room. Treat yourself to breakfast in your private seating area on warm mornings. Sip a wee dram of Scottish whisky out here on summer evenings too.  You also have access to the side garden with various paths and seating which is separate to the owner's fenced garden. There is private, off-road parking for one car.

Lovers of the amber nectar may well wish to book a tour of the famous Glenmorangie Distillery, 6 miles away, and bring home a sample or two. While golf enthusiasts will want to head over to the Royal Dornoch Club, 14 miles away. The picturesque open sands of Shandwick Bay Beach are 3 miles away.
