About this property
This most impressive and immaculately-presented semi-detached cottage is privately situated in the pretty village of Muir of Ord, just north of the Highland capital city Inverness. Little Chestnut is set beside the owner’s home, but offers complete privacy to guests who wish to pamper themselves in this luxurious property. The cottage is ideal for a family or group of friends who will not only appreciate the beauty of the area, but also the comfort, style and facilities in this property. A tarmac driveway leads around to the front door and large parking area and you will be immediately impressed with the style and space both inside and out. With great attention to detail, the owners have provided thoughtful extras to ensure guests want for nothing. At ground floor level there is a sociable open plan kitchen/dining room that leads through to a sunny sitting room, a perfect place for family relaxation. On the ground floor are a king-size double bedroom and contemporary shower room, with two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The property simply oozes style and comfort, and just a few yards across the courtyard is a detached log cabin fitted out with a generously proportioned hot tub, a sauna and shower facilities. Next door to the leisure suite is a fabulous BBQ hut where cooking on the large central fire will be an exciting experience and guests will certainly enjoy the ambience of the hut along with a glass of wine or two! Muir of Ord has good local facilities, including a golf club, plus there are a number of clubs within a 20 mile radius. There's also so much to see and do in this magnificent region. A trip to Loch Ness for some monster spotting is always fun or perhaps try some pony trekking at the nearby stables. Leaving Little Chestnut will be tough as this is a fabulous holiday home for all ages, but you can rest assured that you can always book to return next year!
Muir of Ord is a small town near the Beauly Firth, within easy reach of towns such as Beauly, Dingwall and Inverness. Muir of Ord offers some shops and hotels, and makes a good base for enjoying the Great Ord Distillery and Visitor Centre, and the walking and cycling of Glen Affric Nature Reserve.

The house embraced you in comfort in a pleasant setting. Within Muir of Ord it was convenient for petrol, Coop and bakers. Good access to Black Isle and close to Beauly. Even the weather cooperated. A delightful stay rebooked already.

The house was immaculate and the hot tub at the end of a hard days sightseeing is very welcome.
