About this property
A cosy yet spacious log cabin, privately situated in a pretty woodland setting, on the outskirts of the spa town of Strathpeffer in the wonderful Scottish Highlands. This charming log cabin is one of a few similar cottages occupying this tranquil location, an ideal base for small groups of family or friends who will appreciate the history of the village, and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. This ground floor Highland cottage has two neat bedrooms and a family bathroom, and the bright and airy open plan living area has a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable settees, and French doors leading to a large private balcony, a simply perfect place for a quiet read and a glass of wine. The surrounding Blackmuir Wood is ideal for gentle walks and offers lovely westerly mountain views, with links to other well-signposted walks around the town. Strathpeffer also boasts excellent cycle paths, and the chance to hire bikes in the village if required! The area is rich in wildlife and close by you will find the RSPB Tollie Red Kites nature reserve, where red kites can be viewed from a specially-converted farmstead building. Strathpeffer is ideally placed for touring the wider area of the Northern Highlands, and Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye, and the Cairngorm National Park can be accessed quite easily. However, during the summer months ensure you are back in time to hear the District Pipe Band and Highland dancers performing for visitors on Saturday evenings, a truly wonderful experience! After a day exploring this wonderful, unspoilt region, this Strathpeffer log cabin is the perfect Highland holiday home to return to. Note: This property is 20 yards away from Ref: 30494, together they sleep 8.
The pretty spa village of Strathpeffer offers shops, pubs, restaurants and a golf course, as well as craft shops and the Highland Museum of Childhood in a former Victorian railway station. The area also boasts walks, cycle routes and fishing.

The welcome was very good. Provided with a small hamper and a bottle of Cava. So we had a great Christmas. Most likely will be back.

It was lovely and warm when we arrived & as we had read other reviews about bringing a torch it meant that we could find the lodge no problem despite it being dark outside. The setting is pretty as it's right in the woods and we went on a lovely walk with the dog up into the hills and through the forest. There are lots of different walks you can take so it's a great area for hill walking and mountain biking. We were visiting our daughter so we were able to cater for our grandchildren who stayed with us for a few nights. The beds were very comfy and the lodge had everything we needed. Strathpeffer is very scenic and there is so much to do and see in the surrounding area. If you are looking for real peace and quiet then the lodge is ideal for getting away from it all. We think it would be really good to come back in the summer time as the deck outside is very spacious and ideal for sitting out watching the birds. Looking forward to our next visit very much.
