The cottage is about 30mins from Inverness & you have Tain & Alness for supermarkets & local shops & food which is brilliant.. You can walk to the pub have a fantastic meal or even a take-away! The cottage’s garden was far bigger than expected so for The Girls (my 2 peedie dogs) it was fantastic. The first morning I woke up to 9 deer in the field directly in front of the aspect which was once in a lifetime moment, & sporadically they would come out of the Forrest in the following mornings, just magical. The Red Kites found the dogs fascinating whilst playing in the garden they’d fly in circles around us making us know they were there by calling. The only couple of things that would make it perfect as there is plenty of room would be a freezer for frozen goodies & a dryer as I think if you had more than just myself drying clothes on the airer it would be challenging, however I did manage. I honestly didn’t want to leave the cottage I found it so homely, however appointments in Inverness meant we had too, I’d love to come back for a holiday & it will be first on my list for travelling South now. We hope to be back to this special cottage very soon.
