Each of the three delightful bedrooms has been decorated in restful neutral tones splashed with colourful traditional fabrics.

Outside, there is a large enclosed lawn garden with table and chairs and a BBQ for al fresco dining in the sunshine. These mature gardens back onto forest, home to red squirrels and countless species of birds. For those who fancy fishing, this can be arranged on the River Findhorn.

Looking out over the River Findhorn and backing onto wildlife-rich forests, there are plenty of walks to be discovered from this property’s doorstep. Once you’ve finished exploring by land, take to the water with a spot of fishing on the river, which can be arranged during your stay. Inverness is just 18 miles away and home to a stately riverside castle, the UK’s earliest post-Reformation cathedral and a string of events at Eden Court. Here you will also find a good selection of amenities, from the Victorian Market to Eastgate Shopping Centre, together with a fantastic choice of restaurants and bars.

Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park is also just 16 miles away. Known for its spectacular scenery, it hosts a number of exciting sporting activities from snow sports in the winter to walking, climbing and biking all year round.

Closer to home, the Tomatin Distillery (3 miles) runs a range of tours for all degrees of whisky lovers - you can even fill your own bottle to take home. If you’d rather stay out in the fresh air, take a walk along the Findhorn River and try your luck at spotting the resident eagles, birds and deer that call this area home.

We had a truly amazing time at Learag. The enclosed garden is a wonderful place for dogs and children giving them so much freedom to explore. And the abundance of wildlife all around was super. We cant wait to come back.

Had a comfortable stay at Learag, a home full of 70s charm. Could reminisce, relax and enjoy the wonderful trees surrounding the garden and driveway. Short walk into Tomatin and the lovely cafe. Will surely return again.

Excellent property, very well equipped and in a lovely peaceful location. We saw some great wild life including a deer in the garden. The property is ideally located to use as a base to travel from, we travelled to Nairn which has a wonderful dog friendly beach, culloden battlefield, Fort Augustus and Avimore and the beach at Loch Morlich. The gardRead moreen at the property is huge and dog secure, it takes ages to do a poo patrol . It does get very warm in the kitchen due to the Aga. Will be back! Hide

This is the perfect garden for dogs - totally secure and they love all the room to run around. For the humans, it's comfortable, well-equipped and set in a beautiful, relaxing environment. Wildlife spotted while we were there: ospreys, deer, hare, ptarmigan & numerous other birds (all from the garden). Lovely shop & cafe just up the road

We found all excellent. The garden was beautiful and we were very happy to see the red deer join us frequently. I could perhaps say that I found that the Aga cooker made the kitchen rather too hot but Lilianne used it very well despite not having met one before.

Fantastic property and location, a true home from home. Lovely (secure) garden for those bringing dogs. We really enjoyed watching the many birds that came to the garden, as well as deer in the meadow you overlook. A short (1 mile each way) walk to Tomatin, with a super community cafe and shop, plus woods to see red squirrels, if you are lucky. We Read morewere sad to leave and would definitely go again. Hide
