Description

Nestled in the grounds of a traditional Scottish lodge, this pretty cottage is one of two attached properties, which have been sympathetically renovated to provide wheelchair friendly accommodation in a superb setting.  The cottage enjoys superb views of the Cromarty Firth - renowned as the home of the famous bottle-nosed dolphins.  This tastefully modernised cottage with its open-plan living areas and large picture windows provides light and bright accommodation.  The private patio area with garden furniture offers space for alfresco dining and the surrounding grounds and gardens are also available for use.  It is perfectly situated for exploring the whole of the Highland region, yet only 20 minutes drive from Inverness, the Highland capital. 

Osprey Cottage is adjacent to Firth Cottage and can be booked individually or together to accommodate the gathering of family and friends.
