Traditional stone built cottage, beautifully renovated,uninterrupted Sea view

Converted in May 2017, Shore View cottage is ideally located in a small village near Inverness, and has been renovated to the highest standard. The Cottage has interuppted views over the Beauly and Moray Firths which are home to a school of Bottlenose Dolphins.
The Cottage is very tastefully fitted with high quality flooring and furniture complete with a wood-burning stove.

Being by the sea, there are lovely beaches nearby and the city of Inverness is just 10 minutes away - you can go there by a regular bus service if you want to leave the car behind. Close to the cottage is the Dolphin and Seal Centre where you can find out all about these amazing mammals and even listen to them 'talking' to each other on the hydrophones - an incredible experience. The village of North Kessock has a pub and shop, all within easy walking distance.

Loch Ness is 30 minutes away if you want to explore this beautiful loch and perhaps take a boat trip and try to catch sight of the infamous monster! There is lots to do in the area: dolphin cruises on the Moray Firth, a pony trekking centre 10 minutes away, lots of restaurants and traditional live music bars, the Black Isle Wildlife Park and golf courses at Inverness and Fortrose. This is a lovely cottage for a highland holiday.

A lovely cottage by the sea

The cottage is absolutely lovely and I wish we could have stayed longer. Hazel Bell is very responsive. The house provides all you could wish for, including the opportunity to sit out (even in a cold drizzle) and look at the sea. Our stay was short, but we loved every minute of it.

This is a fantastic home to stay in. It is well laid out with comfortable, cozy rooms. The kitchen was very well stocked and clean. The bathrooms had plenty of towels and varieties of soaps and lotions and shampoos. Just really nice. We ate at the hotel down the street and had an excellent meal, at Hazel’s suggestion. The views of the firth were lovely. Highly recommend!

Can't begin to say how much we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage by the bay. We didn't lack for anything, attention went into every detail was so appreciated and thoughtful.

Hazel has maintained and decorated her property to the highest standards. Everything you could possibly need has been provided. The location is superb-just what we hoped it would be. Access was so easy and Hazel personally welcomed us. Our only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. If we ever get an opportunity to visit this area again we will definitely book here and stay longer.

Wonderful evening

The Stone Cottage was just beautiful. It had all the amenities you would need. Immaculately clean. The owner was very responsive to our questions and helpful in her suggestions for a nearby market. We had had a long day of travel and it was very relaxing to sit out front and enjoy the view, sunset, and those who passed by on the path beside the loch. Would definitely book here again if we are ever blessed with another trip to the area.
