  • Beautiful countryside lodge set in the Scottish Highlands, close to the spellbinding Ross-shire coastline
  • Wonderful open-plan interior that’s been thoughtfully laid out with lovely, nature-inspired décor
  • Explore the Cromarty Firth and Inverness region by road, with the NC500 easily accessible
Property code: OC-C33073

Overlooking the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth, this stunning timber lodge offers a memorable escape for a couple or small family seeking peace, quiet and close connection to nature. Bring your bikes to make the most of the forest tracks and cycle routes that wind through the Ross-shire countryside, head to the coast for fresh sea air or simply enjoy spending time in your private outdoor space. As dusk falls, sit in the back garden around the fire pit to create a cosy evening atmosphere under moonlit skies.

With beautiful farmhouse-style interiors and impressive attention to detail, you’ll soon feel at home as you settle into the open-plan living space. The contemporary kitchen provides a bright space to cook and eat in, while the comfortable lounge area is the place to watch shows on the Smart TV or stream chillout background music through the Bluetooth speaker while you read. When the sun finally sets on your day, retreat to the tastefully decorated double bedroom or twin room for a restorative night’s sleep ready for another cracking day of adventure.

Walk or cycle the woodland trail up to Fyrish Monument (7 miles) to take in the striking views from this impressive stone landmark. For coastal charm, the historic seaside town of Dornoch (22 miles) is hard to beat. Stroll along the sandy beach, play golf or explore the 13th-century cathedral. The North Coast 500 driving route is also easily accessible from the lodge as it runs along the A9 around a mile from Alness. Wildlife lovers won’t want to miss Chanonry Point in the Moray Firth (22.5 miles), where seals and dolphins are often spotted basking on the sandbanks or bobbing in the water.

We just got back from 2 weeks in this beautiful cabin! I must say it is the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in a fair few. The inside is beautiful and very well designed. Had everything you need. The outside space was also lovely, we spent a few nights sat outside with a bbq and fire watching all the wildlife. The welRead morecome hamper was brilliant! Lots to do in the area. Dunrobin castle was a nice visit. Also watching the dolphins at Chanonry point- make sure to check tide times before going. But overall a perfect location. Had the best 2 weeks staying at the cabin we were gutted when we had to leave. Hide

Absolutely lovely cabin sitting on the former tennis court of the big house next door. Despite the proximity there was a nice sense of privacy, enhanced by trees and mature shrubs. The attention to detail in the decor was really well thought-out compared with some places we've stayed, and there's a very well-equipped kitchen with space to put yoRead moreur groceries in the dresser cupboards. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, we spent a wonderful few evenings down in the gazebo with a wood fire going, watching rabbits, pheasants and owls hopping and swooping around us. I would definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway! I'd recommend a trip to Dunrobin Castle, Fort George, and watching the bottlenosed dolphins at Chanonry Point, where they breach within metres of the shore. Many thanks to Jane for her thoughtful hospitality, we'll definitely be back some time! Hide

Culcairn Cottage is a beautiful holiday letting set amongst the trees and grounds of the owner's wonderful property. Overlooking the Cromarty Firth and surrounded by rolling fields and hillsides, lots of wildlife, and the peace and quiet, you can be assured of a memorable Highland stay. The cabin itself is built with care and intended for comfort.

Although here at the tail end of winter, I am watching the owners erect a new bbq gazebo overlooking the landscape and the distant ocean, and can only imagine what a place it will be to while away the evening in the summer months. Couldn't recommend it enough! Hide

We had such an amazing stay at Jane's cabin. Everything was beautifully presented with lots of lovely little details that made our stay feel extra special, including a welcome hamper for us and our dog! The cabin is everything you could want for a stay in the highlands and we were able to explore sites such as loch ness and Dunrobin castle as well Read moreas hiking up Ben Wyvis. We even had an evening roasting marshmallows over the fire pit in the garden. Would highly recommend booking this cabin to anyone visiting the area. Hide
