A very well equipped cottage with everything you could need for a relaxing break. The location is peaceful but very accessible to the main road. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable. All in all one of the best properties I have stayed in over many years visiting Scotland.

Holly Cottege is maintained to a very high standard with everything you would need to ensure a relaxed and complete holiday break. We have stayed at Holly cottage several times over the past 15 years and have never been disappointed with the facilities, and cleanliness within the home. It is well situated allowing easy access to both west and east coasts with several castles, historical sites, splendid scenery and not to mention the entertaining dolphins at chanonray point on the Black Isle.The addition of an reading room to relax in with a good book only enhances further the facilities.
