  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

  August 2024.

  Gualan Sands is an excellent self-catering property. The quality of the house and all the amenities are exceptional and practical for families and pets. The location offers access to many islands but also remains private. We enjoyed walks from the door over the sands to the beach (low tide only - do be mindful of this) as well as relaxing and enjoying the views from the house. We visited North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay. Sollas Beach was a favourite but there are many more on the islands. If you enjoy bird watching bring your binoculars, many can be spotted without leaving the house. We had a short-eared owl visit daily. If you wish to travel to other islands book your ferries in advance. Flying from Benbecula to Glasgow is straightforward and Lochmaddy port is more practical than Lochboisdale. Fiona was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property, you won't be disappointed and we hope to return.

  Pros- ideal location for getting out walking.

  House has everything you need. Lovely outlook from dining room table. Feels safe to stay there. Cons- bit dated however didn’t spoil stay. Wee bit smelly when we arrived. Could do with fresh Lino on the bathroom. Stair blinds are very dirty. Biggest con for us and this is for anyone bringing their dogs. We had a vision of sitting out in the garden with the dogs just wandering enjoying all the woodland scents- This meant we could not sit outside and enjoy the good weather. One time we left them in the house and sat outside but after 10 mins the lady came out and started pottering about the grass they own right outside the house so the dogs saw her and started barking so we had to go in, so from that respect it did spoil things a bit. I just want dog owners to be aware of that. Overall though we had a really nice week as we just got the dogs out early and spent the day elsewhere.

  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.

  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.
