About this property
Garve 1.5 miles. Tigh Na Drochit is a remarkable detached cottage resting peacefully in the scenic woodland just outside of Garve in the Scottish Highlands. The stunning interior, fabulous facilities and a wonderfully secluded location make this the perfect base for a fun-filled break with family and friends. The property's size is immediately apparent as you are welcomed into the big and bright hallway. The ground floor occupies two of the five stylishly finished bedrooms in the cottage, all of which benefit from modern en-suite shower rooms. Take your pick of heart-warming places to kick back and relax here at Tigh Na Drochit, choose from; a cosy little snug perfect for the kid's hideout, a splendid sitting room and a comforting seating area in the main open-plan living room set with a woodburning stove. This room also boasts a glistening, well-appointed kitchen and a contemporary breakfast bar as well as a dining table set for everybody to come together and plan the activities of the day. The ground floor comes with a family bathroom where you can luxuriate yourself in a state-of-the-art sauna. This spectacular property's first floor provides three more tastefully decorated bedrooms which conclude its interior. To the outside lies a delightful garden compiling a lawn and a patio area with furniture to sit out on and enjoy a refreshing drink. On a rainy day, spend some time playing pool and darts in the terrific games room. The more adventurous can explore the encompassing woodland with trails and bridges to walk along. The charming, well-stocked town of Dingwall rests a short drive away making for a thrilling day out. The heavenly city of Inverness sits slightly further afield and is certainly worth a look for its striking architecture. A thoughtfully furnished cottage in an excellent rural location.

Has all the facilities we needed. Great location with amazing scenery. Property was comfortable, clean and large with plenty space for 10 people. Beds were comfortable and kids loved the games room. We all loved our stay at Tigh na Drochit. Highly recommended.

The hosts are helpful without being intrusive and whilst the location speaks for itself - magnificent in every way, the house is amazing. Spacious with first class facilities, clean, well furnished and very, very accommodating. There were a few of us from a 92 year old to a 3 year old and the house easily catered for everyoneâs needs. If we could afford the busier seasons, weâd be back all the time from now on but I appreciate you âget what you pay forâ and this is true in this case. Hopefully we will be back sooner rather than later.

The fire had not been cleaned out and logs had not been left. Some of the kitchen equipment like the wok is past its best. The mattress in the master bedroom upstairs was very soft and uncomfortable. We moved a couch closer to the TV and it was filthy under the cushions.
