As soon as we arrived, we felt welcomed, and got settled in straight away. The cottage has everything and more, even some complimentary biscuits for us. The owner (Kate) had left us with milk and some food provisions, that we weren't expecting, but kindly appreciated. The cottage is so cosy, lovely and extremely clean. At night you don't hear a sound and it's pitch black, perfect for a good night's sleep. The owners are only across the yard, so if you need anything, they are close by and they have horses that you can visit and feed to the side of the cottage. I checked with Kate, to see if we could give them food, and got them some carrots. While at the cottage we got to see rabbits every morning and evening, plus the horses and sheep nearby. We spotted the Red Kites too, while taking in the gorgeous views of the mountains towards Loch Ness. Beautiful sunsets, very atmospheric. None of us wanted to leave, and would definitely return. Thank you â¤ï¸

Kate was a very friendly and helpful host and the Croft was very well thought out and equipped, making our stay very enjoyable. Feeding the horses and watching the Red Kites were an added bonus! There was easy access to roads going to the depths of the Highlands and also to Inverness itself, or you could just enjoy the fabulous views in peaceful surroundings. In short, it was simple, comfortable and beautiful. Can highly recommend.
