Overview
Property code: 36307

Located in the quiet village of Jemimaville on the Black Isle, this delightful period cottage is ideally located for exploration of the surrounding area. Perfect for those who love the outdoors, the surrounding forests are great for mountain bikers, leisure cyclists and walkers alike. After a busy day spent touring the Black Isle or Inverness, return to this cosy cottage for a relaxing evening in front of the wood burner or a summer BBQ in the garden.

Enter this property into the sociable open-plan living space, which has a delightful kitchen/diner at one end. With shaker-style units, oak worktops, contemporary appliances and a dining table, this is a pleasant space in which to prepare and enjoy meals. Sink into the large L-shaped sofa in the lounge area nearby, where you will find a wood burner set into an original fireplace and a TV/DVD player for those quiet nights in. Also on the ground floor, there is a spacious twin bedroom complete with feature fireplace, writing desk and plenty of storage. Upstairs, two eaves bedrooms - one double and one twin - share a light and bright modern bathroom with separate shower and rural views.

Outside, a large enclosed garden is the perfect spot for al fresco dining. With plenty of space for children and dogs to play and spectacular views over the Cromarty Firth, there’s no better place to spend a sunny afternoon.

From here, you can catch a ferry from Cromarty to Nigg during the summer months (May to September). While in the village, visit Cromarty Lighthouse, built by the uncle of Robert Louis Stevenson.

Explore this area’s sandy beaches, looking out for birds, dolphins, and seals along the way or take to two wheels to discover the many forest tracks and trails. Visit the Black Isle Brewery (13 miles) to sample some local craft beer or take to the water with a trip to Chanonry Point, famous for its pods of bottlenose dolphins.

Less than half a mile from the property is RSPB Udale Bay, where in winter you can spot thousands of waterfowl. In autumn, it's home to large flocks of migratory birds while in summer, you can see ospreys in the bay.

Cobwebs in some rooms, carpet dirty, kitchen items needed washed before using. Storage areas were very dirty. Windows are poorly sealed and drafts can be felt around them and the doors. Internal doors do not stay closed. Fire is clearly a coal fire with a locked coal storage at the front. Therefore we used alot of logs to keep the fire going. Very Read moredisappointing and not what we were expecting for the price of the week. Hide

We had a lovely and enjoyable stay at Old Laurel Cottage. . It is in the perfect location and the views from outside window are stunning. We would highly recommend the cottage, especially if you love walking or birds as there is a RSPB site within walking distance and lots of birds to see. A real home from home, has a nice feel to cottage &big gardRead moreen. The owners also provided information and recommendations prior to our trip which was great and allowed us to factor other places to see. Hide
