Gail’s house was brilliant. Very tranquil and in a peaceful location, and the wildlife was fab. The house was huge and contained everything you might need for a fun weekend away!

Corriegorm Cottage, Aviemore, Scotland

LisaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a magnificent stay at Traceys place. Her directions to find the place were very clear and precise, whic h made it very easy to find. My son loved seeing the river in front of the house, and if the weather was warmer we would cerhave made use of the bbq area. The house itself was exactly as the pictures, very clean from top to bottom, we loved the comfy sofas and enjoyed having the fire in the evenings. The deep bath was also a very nice touch. The whole house was very cosy , yet had tonnes of space. We will definitely be back .

An Outdoor Enthusiasts Slice of Heaven

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What a fantastic place. We wanted somewhere to stay where we could make use of our paddle board & kayak and this was the perfect venue. Easy access to a fantastic quiet loch to enjoy the scenery. The hot tub & sauna were a very welcome treat after a day on the loch. Great location for exploring the highlands with Ben Nevis only 15 minutes away. The accommodation was excellent with absolutely everything you could need, from a lovely Scottish breakfast pack to gorgeous toiletries. The added bonus for us as a family was use the of BBQ hut. Would highly recommend and I’m sure we will be back.

Glenlivet@Bluefolds, Moray, Cairngorms, Scotland

AlanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Great 3 night stay over a long weekend. Sue was so helpful from as soon as we booked to after we checked out as we had forgotten an item when checking out. Sue met us upon arrival and was very warm and inviting. We were given lots of local tips for the area. The location is stunning with great views and very open and airy feeling! We all felt very at home very quickly. We would 100% look to stay here again and have already recommended this location and this host to a good few people.

Great Holiday Home in the Heart of Brora

AlexRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great stay as always for our engineers that were working in the area. Annette is always so lovely and friendly. It's a great place if you're working away and want that homey feel or if you're visiting with family and friends.

Historic cottage in countryside location

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 day ago
First time visiting but not the last. The cottage itself and surrounding area/garden was amazing. Beautifully clean and garden is enormous. Comfortable beds, living room, kitchen with everything you would need. If you would rather eat out it’s only an 8 minute drive from Nairn which has lots of nice cafes and restaurants. Harbour and beach accessible with lovely walk along sea front. Some nice beach cafes such as Basil Harbour cafe, Strathnairn beach cafe and Sun Dancer. Lots to do in surrounding areas however it was a short break so it was a relaxing/chilled weekend. Would recommend Logie Steading, gorgeous garden plants/shop/cafe and art gallery. Also checked out Golf View hotel and spa for some drinks which has amazing views (didn’t get a chance to sample the spa). Hilary provided a friendly helpful check in with a nice chat with Graeme checking out. Didn’t want to leave so booked our next visit before checking out. Can’t wait till we are back again

Your guide to Inverness

Introduction

The capital of the Scottish Highlands, Inverness has history dating back 4,000 years, from the Bronze Age burial tombs at Clava Cairns to the 18th-century battlefield of Culloden. Its red sandstone castle (now a courthouse) is a mere 200 years old, and one of the best places from which to take in the view. From its clifftop perch, the River Ness — its tree-lined banks elegantly connected with suspension bridges — and the surrounding stone buildings stand out handsomely against a backdrop of green hills. At the foot of the hill, the bustling old town, whose pedestrian-friendly High Street and covered Victorian market are great for shopping, opens into a compact city with a vibrant pub culture, incorporating plenty of live music, céilidh dancing, and nightlife. It’s the ideal place to begin an exploration of the Highland countryside and culture, and the start and end point of the North Coast 500 driving route.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Inverness

Scottish weather is famously unpredictable, and you never know when you’re going to get rained on (although you can be pretty sure that it will happen at some point). Layers, warm clothing, and a waterproof jacket are a sensible packing solution. The best thing about the Highlands in summer are the long days; in July the sun doesn’t set until after 10 p.m., and temperatures tend to average around 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Spring and fall offer some of the most spectacular natural scenery but can be brisk, and snow is almost guaranteed in winter, when the temperature regularly drops to freezing.


Top things to do in Inverness

Ness Islands

A miniature retreat at the heart of the city, this small chain of islands in the middle of the River Ness has been a public park since the 19th century. You can travel among them using interconnected footbridges built by the Victorians. A 60-minute circular walk will take you past salmon pools, botanic gardens, and the city’s 19th-century cathedral.

Loch Ness

It’s only a 15-minute drive southwest of the city to the start of one of Scotland’s best-known lochs. The deep, narrow lake is 23 miles from end to end, containing more freshwater than all the lakes in England and Wales combined, and its tranquil Highland scenery is just as impressive on a boat cruise or a lakeshore walk. The ruins of Urquhart Castle add to the atmosphere.

Moray Firth

The largest of Scotland’s sea inlets, the Moray Firth is a major part of the Inverness scenery, visible from a number of elevated points in the city. Fort George, on a peninsula northeast of the city, is one good vantage point, as is the Merkinch Local Nature Reserve; or you can cross it via the Kessock Bridge to explore its north banks. Keep your eyes peeled for the bottlenose dolphins and porpoise that regularly sport in the waters.
