Its quiet, relaxing location is ideal for exploring the local area and enjoying the natural beauty, including wildlife like red kites. Some guests noted the property's cleanliness could be improved, but overall, the cottage's charm and setting provide a delightful holiday experience.
Guests have had mixed experiences with cleanliness. While some found the cottage comfortable, others reported it to be in a filthy state with dust, dirt, and mouse droppings, suggesting inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views over Nigg Bay and its proximity to local attractions. The quiet and relaxing setting is ideal for guests looking to explore the Cromarty Firth, Loch Ness, and Inverness.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable, with cosy furnishings and comfortable beds. However, some guests mentioned a lack of heating upstairs during cold weather, which affects the overall comfort level.
The kitchen is well-equipped, contributing to a positive experience. However, there were reports of missing items that were supposed to be provided, and some maintenance issues like a greasy bath and soapy shower screen.
There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Really good holiday and cottage was very comfy but I’m afraid it was absolutely filthy which tainted our stay! I had to sweep the floor when we arrived to get rid of the hair and muck obviously left from other people. There was inches of dust everywhere and all the skirtings were black with dirt. Mouse droppings covered the top of the dishwasher and I scrubbed the grease scum marks from the bath before we could use it. The shower screen was covered in soapy scum marks too. No heating at all up stairs and no portable heaters provided. Not good when it’s -5 degrees outside. Beyond the filthy state of the cottage we enjoyed our stay.
