Charming whitewashed property located in a secluded spot on a working farm, ideally located for a family or friends looking to explore the Highlands, Inverness and the Cairngorms.

This quaint traditional Highland cottage is situated on a working farm, surrounded by peaceful countryside and rolling hills. It's perfect for families who are looking to get away from their busy day-to-day lives to experience real Highland life. The fields around the property are teaming with farm life and you can even take a ‘farm tour’ to experience Scottish farming in its true form.

This semi-detached cottage invites you into a comfortable and homely atmosphere with a traditional cottage style of furnishings and decoration running throughout. Its layout is cosy and family friendly so that you have piece of mind to let the children roam freely but remain under your watchful eye. The cottage is arranged all on one level and offers guests a real home from home experience. Each room is respectfully decorated to retain the Highland cottage feel, using traditional floral patterns, bright colours and soft decor.

The cosy sitting room/dining room is classed as the heart of this cottage and is sure to be where you spend most of your time together as a family. The gallery style kitchen is compact but functional with everything you will need to prepare delicious home-cooked meals for those hungry little tummies! The bedrooms are bright and fresh and offer a comfortable space to rest in after a long day spent roaming the countryside.

Outside there is the opportunity to enjoy some wonderful views reaching over the fields and beyond in the large, enclosed shared garden. Sit, relax and unwind on the patio with a BBQ and glass of wine, listening to the children playing happily and reminiscing about the days adventures.

Situated in the beautiful Highland landscape there is an abundance of walks and nature trails to explore right from the cottage. Though surrounded by farmland, you are never too far away from amenities, should you need those vital necessities.

Nairn (6 miles) is a pretty seaside town and very popular with holidaymakers due to its attractive harbour, beautiful sandy beaches and riverside walks. Benefitting from its own micro-climate, Nairn is one of the driest, warmest and sunniest places to visit in Scotland. With views over the Moray Firth you might even be lucky enough to see seals, dolphins, porpoises and whales that are known to often frequent these waters.

With plenty of activities available to you in Nairn such as cycling, walking, fishing, golfing and kayaking it is an ideal town to be based near to, should you wish to explore this area of the Highlands. Surrounded by historical sites including Brodie Castle, Culloden Battlefield, Cawdor Castle, Kinloss Abbey and so much more makes this area of the Highlands a location where you can experience everything Scotland has to offer.

A little further up the coast is the pretty village of Findhorn famously known for its eco-village, beautiful sandy beach and attractive harbour. Findhorn along with neighbouring Burghead Bay and Culbin Forest offer many outdoor pursuits and water sports if you are looking for something that bit more adventurous.

We were warmly welcomed on arrival by David (Owner). The cottage is in a lovely setting with great views from the rear garden towards the Moray Firth. It is very close to various amenities and brilliant for exploring eveything that Invernesshire and Moray have to offer. Culbin Forest was lovely for a walk with the viewing platform looking over the Read moretree canopy to the Moray Firth. Findhorn Village and beach was vey pretty with great views. Hide
