From both locations you will have spectacular views across the area.
Amongst the many activities available in the locality, there are many golf courses within easy reach, mountain biking on numerous trails, hill climbing, walking with many forest trails on the doorstep, a variety of water sports on Loch Ness or the Moray coastline, and skiing and snowboarding in the Cairngorms or the Nevis range.

This has to be one of the most well equipped cottages I have ever been to. It has almost everything you could want. The only things missing were an egg poacher and an air fryer! 😀. The veranda is a sun trap and we were very lucky with the weather. The accessibility features are excellent and the only thing that could improve it are an electric bed, and something to put your shampoos etc on in the wet room. Although we did mention the second thing to the owner while we were there and she said she wa going to order something straight away!. Location wise, it is very remote, but also right next to the owners house so you can he’s hat they are saying/doing. Overall, a lovely place.
