About this property

This sweet stone semi-detached cottage is located in the quiet and friendly village of Marybank in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. With roses next to the door, Cottage Fia is deceptively spacious and is ideal for a family or group of friends who will enjoy exploring this unspoilt part of Scotland together. This delightful cottage has a generous fitted kitchen with dining area together with a useful utility room, which has direct access out to the rear garden. There is a nicely presented sitting room with welcoming open fire and a single bedroom and bathroom at ground floor level, whilst on the first floor is a twin and double bedroom. With a small private garden to the front along with a parking space, there is also a large rear garden, mainly lawned with a pretty seating and BBQ area. From the rear of the cottage there are views to Ben Wyvis and the surrounding mountains and hills. Guests will most certainly appreciate the outdoor space here and enjoy opportunities for some alfresco dining in the summer months. Marybank lies close to the River Conon, a very popular fishing river and permits are available locally. It also has a small hotel just a very short walk from the cottage, which is ideal for visitors who want to enjoy a relaxing drink at the end of an active day. Muir of Ord is close by and offers a great selection of shops and hotels, as well as a riding stable. Ideally situated for touring the Highlands, visitors will enjoy Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness with its excellent visitors centre or perhaps venture up to Culloden Battlefield and soak up the rather special atmosphere and history there. With so much to see and do and with beautiful scenery and wildlife in abundance makes this cottage an enjoyable base at all times of the year. EPC Rating: Band E

  • Denise

    Unsightly front garden on arrival. Access to key box at rear, through overgrown/unusable back garden (rusted BBQ, rubbish, trip hazards everywhere) - very disappointing. Property very clean but overwhelming smell in living room (the plug-ins/diffusers unable to mask damp/dog odours?). Bathroom floor and uncarpeted areas very slippery. Dated internal decor. No can/bottle opener (purchased and left). Bowls chipped. Wok unusable. Some of the maintenance issues mentioned in past reviews unresolved. Photos on website not representative of gardens' current condition. NO OBVIOUS PROPERTY REFURBISHMENT! No visitor/tourist info. Would have been good value if property better maintained as it was a lovely location.

  • Philip

    Was reasonably priced The first thing we noticed on arrival was the broken glass to the side of the front door. Access to the key safe was difficult as it was at the back and the side gate was broken and was propped at an awkward angle. The cottage was clean, but there was a terrible smell like wet dog and damp. The beds were very uncomfortable We left a day early as the smell does not entice you to stay.

  • Keith

    It was very clean and confortable. We had a good week which was supported by the very good accomadation.
