“Perfect stay, well equipped cottage, clean and comfortable.”

Th summerhouse was a nice bonus. Great communication with the owner. Nice welcome cakes, fruit and wine on arrival. Fantastic views across the Moray Firth. Plenty to do in the area. My only suggestion would be to get a stair gate, dogs are not allowed upstairs, we had to use a couple of dining chairs to block them off. This didn’t impact on our wonderful stay, we hope to return

“The house was absolutely amazing.”

If had everything we needed. Facilities were in excess of what we expected. The neighbors (hope I remembered her name correct) next door were absolute gems and lent us their BBQ when they saw me using a pair of disposable ones. The views are stunning, even when it's tipping it down. The summer house at the bottom of the garden is a wonderful place to sit the night away. There is so much to do nearby and you're only limited by your willingness to travel. Most adventure parks and the best bits of the Cairngorms are all within an hour's drive. There was just a few minor things that would have made our stay better. Don't know if these apply across the board. A gate towards the front of the drive would have allowed us to have the doors open and give the dog free roam of all the space. I guess this would apply to children to some extent. The location on the directions was a bit wooly. I think this should be replaced with a 'what3words' location. This is used by emergency services and companies to plot exact locations that night not be as easily located. Here is a precise what3words address, made of 3 random words. Every 3 metre square in the world has its own unique what3words address. ///stylists.agreeing.marked https://w3w.co/stylists.agreeing.marked I think the blinds need to be black out ones. Otherwise the light and airy nature of the cottage becomes an early wake up call. Maybe another radio upstairs. All in all, it was great and I wouldn't hesitate coming back or recommending it to family and friends

“We had a lovely stay at the “East Cottage”.”

The hosts are very polite and caring. They left us yummy strawberry tarts, fresh raspberries from a local farm and some more nibbles on our arrival. Every single room is well facilitated. The kitchen is well-equipped. Our family prefers home-cooked meals and I found everything that was required in the kitchen. Bedrooms are comfy with great views- farm, gardens, wild birds, farm animals and even sea :) This cottage is a perfect choice if one is looking for heavenly countryside experience. The greenhouse is cute with serene views. My kids love wild birds and farm animals. The cows on the neighbouring farm very quite entertaining!! Many interesting and beautiful attractions are not far from the cottage which is a bonus. We really got emotional when leaving the cottage after seven night stays. It was indeed a home to home experience. Thank you so much for making our stay so comfy and enjoyable. Miss you “East Cottage”

“We had a lovely week at Rosemary's house visiting for the Speyside golf experience.”

Although we weren't around the house much during the day due to travelling around for golf, the house had everything we needed for our stay. There was also a lovely summerhouse which we only discovered on our last day as we didn't venture into the garden. The beds were so comfortable and I looked forward to falling into it after our long days travelling about. The house was very quiet except for the noise of the cows in the field. We had dinner in the Sun dancer restaurant in Nairn which was lovely and also in the Cawdor Tavern which was a bit slow serving but lovely food when it came. We had everything we needed for our weeks stay and wouldn't think twice about staying again.

The area is fantastic and the cottage idyllic. The views and tranquillity are priceless. The cottage itself has everything you could ask for, with plenty of room for the boys to play.

The property

East Cottage is so perfectly located for a fun-packed holiday that it is hard to convey all that this area has to offer. Its position, up in the hills and surrounded by farmland, woodlands and forest, is just the best for those looking to pursue an activity holiday whether that is cycling, walking, skiing, fishing, kayaking or golf. For anyone interested in history then it's all on your doorstep starting with the ancient stone circles, the Bronze Age Clava Cairns through to the battlefield site of the Jacobite Rebellion at Culloden. There are many castles open to the public and Fort George military museum at Ardersier. Natural history buffs will appreciate the close proximity both to the sea, with the opportunity to either take a boat trip out to watch for dolphins or to see them from the shores of the Black Isle, and to the farmland, forests and woodlands surrounding the cottage where many small mammals, deer and birds can be seen. Beach lovers are spoilt for choice with the fabulous Nairn, Findhorn and Lossiemouth beaches plus the fascinating Culbin Sands. Head down Loch Ness to see Urquhart Castle and watch its history unfold on their excellent video. Drive round the loch passing through Fort Augustus and coming back up to Inverness by the south shore. There are plenty of places to eat out, shop locally or pick up a take away. There is everything available from Michelin starred restaurants to a great fish and chip shop! We highly recommend this cottage for those who want a really wide variety of things to do and places to see. However, you will return each day to the comforts of this well-appointed cottage - to take in yet another magnificent view.

About the location

CAWDOR

Nairn 5.4 miles; Inverness 13.4 miles.

The picturesque and historic village of Cawdor has much to offer visitors who will appreciate the quiet ambiance of the village. Cawdor is famous for its 'Macbeth' connection with its 17th-century Castle which is still home to the Cawdor family today. There is also the first-class Cawdor Tavern boasting tasty Scottish food with flair accompanied by a first-class choice of wines, and a well-stocked convenience store for any essentials. The city of Inverness, known as The Capital of the Highlands, is the gateway to the countless delights of the Highlands of Scotland. Of particular note is the legendary Loch Ness, which is surrounded by some truly breath-taking scenery, although most visitors are usually on the lookout for something a bit more mysterious! Just outside the city is the Culloden Battlefield at Culloden Moor (National Trust). The site of the last major battle fought on British soil. Inverness is the gateway to the stunning west coast and even a day trip across the sea to Skye is possible. Inverness City itself has much to offer – museums, an art gallery, fine theatre, and leisure facilities, not to mention shops, pubs, and restaurants, including the Michelin Star restaurant of Rocpool. The area is packed with opportunities for outdoor pursuits especially as the Cairngorm National Park is easily accessible, where skiing, snowboarding, climbing and so much more are readily available. For the Golf enthusiast this area offers an abundance of championship courses within a short drive and of course mountain bikers will be impressed with the selection of tracks that pass through fabulous scenery. The nearby Moray Firth is home to a diverse range of wildlife and marine life including dolphins, which can be seen from the shore or on trips from the harbour.

Note: Though electricity is included in the rent, electric for charging cars is not included in the rental.
