  We had a lovely stay at the cottage.

  We've stayed in cottages before where we have had to take all essentials with us so we turned up with our own towels, dog bowls & bed, washing up liquid, tin foil etc to find most of it (not washing powder/tin foil/cling film) was provided for us which was a lovely surprise. The kitchen is clean and airy, there's dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer and all the utensils & cooking apparatus we needed. A lovely gift basket was left for us with treats for us and our dog which were very much appreciated. The living space is large enough for a family of 5 and the bedrooms are light and airy. There's an additional lounge upstairs for any teenagers who may want private time or to use as a playroom for smaller ones. There is a downstairs bedroom and the only bathroom/toilet is downstairs making this easily accessible for someone with mobility concerns. Parking is outside the front door which is also great! The garden was well kept but isn't fully enclosed with access down onto a small pebbly/sandy strip on the firth. You can walk along for about 10 minutes but we didn't explore further out onto the flats as it looked muddy and we didn't want to risk getting stuck. The location is great for peace and quiet but there are no amenities in Jemimaville. Cromarty is probably the closest village and it has a lovely beach and playing field, a shop, bakery and some gift shops. Would highly recommend the pottery. A short drive takes you to Rosemarkie and Fortrose and it doesn't take long to get down to Inverness or Nairn or in the other direction explore further north in Invergordon. Mairi our host is local and available as and when needed (not that we needed her) and was very helpful when we arrived and left. We look forward to staying again

  On arrival everything seemed fine. The following morning however we discovered we were sharing the cottage with mice who made their presence quite obvious with mouse dropping over the kitchen floor and inside the kitchen cupboards. This also explained why our dog had woken us up during the night wanting to get into the kitchen. The little pests had torn through the wrapper of my unopened twix bar and had a good old nibble of it. Owner was notified and suggested putting traps and poison down which we declined as we had the dog with us. Luckily neither of us were afraid of mice .. We did leave a day early not because of the mice but we found the mattress on the bed so uncomfortable resulting in back ache it's appreciated that this could be a personal preference but it did effect our stay.

  We booked for a 3 night break at Burnside - which we extended to 4 nights.

  A quiet location overlooking the Cromarty Firth towards Invergordon - great views from the lounge and kitchen. Warm and cosy with everything we needed. Lovely decor with local artwork displayed throughout. A welcome basket with a bottle of Prosecco, some Cromarty Brewery beer, local cheese, oatcakes and shortbread was much appreciated. Callie our dog was also spoilt with treats and her own bed. A short drive to Cromarty and the excellent beach at Rosemarkie and the dolphins at Chanonry Point. Mairi was a great host and could not do enough to make our stay truly memorable. A great place to base yourself, explore the Black Isle and places along the Moray coast. Highly recommended and look forward to staying again in the future.

  This is a really lovely house located in one of our favourite spots in Dumfries and Galloway. The house has been really tastefully decorated and the owners have taken care to think of all the things you might need. Everything has been done to a high standard and the beds are really comfortable. As a family with a dog we loved the big back garden. The kids enjoyed being able to play badminton and the dog loved all the space to run about. The weather wasn’t great when we were there but was still nice to sit out on the decking and enjoy the view. The village has a nice wee beach and lots of great walks with the dog. The owners were very attentive and gave us their details in case of any problems.

  A peaceful haven Your only mistake would be to pass this beautiful cottage by.

  Situated in the quiet hamlet of Jemimaville on the banks of the Cromarty Firth this lovely cottage has everything you need. The cottage is warm and cozy and perfectly situated with beautiful views across the Cromarty Firth. The Black Isle is more than full of history and if you want to venture further the Highlands are just on the doorstep. Mairi the owner is so kind and helpful, there to welcome you and onhand for ensuring your holiday runs smoothly. Recently renovated the cottage is a perfect retreat. Cromarty is a short drive away with some excellent places to eat, watch the dolphins at Rosemarkie beach or venture out on a Rib ride. A perfect break thank you Mairi.
