We had a fantastic week away at Paterson Cottage. It is in a great location allowing good access to many parts of the Highlands. We managed to fit in Thurso/Wick, Inverness and the Black Isle, Fort William and Loch Ness, Dornoch and Tain amongst others, city, mountains, lochs and beaches. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need and things you hadn’t even thought of. We even managed to sit out in the garden for breakfast and in the evening. Would highly recommend.

Just back from a week's stay, at Paterson Cottage. When we arrived we both felt it looked even better than the pictures on the website.The cottage is a great size and both the beds, and the bedding are very high quality. The kitchen is fantastic, and again it is kitted out, with all top end appliances. With full original user manuals available for the guest.The property has a fabulous garden that our dog absolutely loved. There is a gate at the end of the garden and a set of gates at the approach to the cottage. Once you have closed them both, you can do as we did and leave the patio doors open and relax, knowing your dog is completely safe.We found the cottage to be very well located for the areas we like to visit. We already knew the area very well, having previously stayed in another property in Muir of Ord twice.As another visitor has pointed out, the cottage is very close to the busy main road, and on the first night especially, partly due to being somewhere new, getting to sleep took a little while. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to consider bringing ear plugs or cotton wool, but it was never a major issue for us, and after the first night we slept very well, and it's unfair to criticize the owners, for something out with there control.So to sum up, we are highly likely to return to the area again, and when we do it will definitely be to return to Paterson Cottage.
