Property code: CA131

This sympathetically restored schoolroom offers couples a luxurious base from which to explore the stunning Highland and with its acre of enclosed garden, your four-legged companions will be content here too. Despite its peaceful location, you're within a mile of the village of Muir of Ord, with its pub, train station, independent shops and distillery. With the Highlands on your doorstep and Beauly Firth and Cromarty Firth within a few miles, you and your furry pals will be spoilt for choice when it comes to walkies.

Decorated with elegance and sophistication, original features such as vaulted ceilings, cast iron fireplaces and arched windows blend with bold colours and rich fabrics to create a sense of grandeur. The ground floor consists of a large open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a wood burner at one end and a well-equipped kitchen at the other. There is also a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The double bedroom and bathroom with roll-top bath is upstairs in the tower. Outside, a BBQ and furniture allows you to relax and soak up your surroundings. The garden is enclosed but keep an eye on curious canines who might be interested by the unfenced burn.

Beauly (2.5 miles) sits at the end of the Beauly Firth which feeds into the Moray Firth. It's a great spot for gentle strolls around the upmarket shops and eateries or some salmon fishing as well as being a popular base for outdoor enthusiasts with some stunning glens and mountains close by, including Glen Affric. For a spot of myth busting, and a lovely walk, head to Loch Ness (22 miles) or for woodland walks, waterfalls and salmon watching, head to Rogie Falls (9 miles). For something more urban, Capital of the Highlands, Inverness is 13 miles away with its bustling compact city centre.

Fantastic place to stay in the Highlands. We really loved our time here, it's a great location with access to the stunning countryside and walks - plus the beautiful Singleton distillery nearby. We visited with our nervous Nelly dog and it was lovely and peaceful for her even on NYE. Thank you to the host.

We stayed in Evelix whilst attending a course in the area, and really enjoyed returning to this lovely, characterful house each evening. It is comfortable, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed during our time there. We appreciated the eggs and lovely homemade cake which Cherry, the owner, had left for our arrival.

Just spent a lovely five days at the old school house. Cottage has everything you would need for a relaxing break. The garden was safe and secure for our dog, he rarely strays out of sight so I felt comfortable letting him enjoy the space. Muir of Ord is a quiet spot, bad girls bakery was a lovely treat and worth a visit.

The house and garden was so beautiful. It was such a lovely place to come back to at the end of each day. The fireplace made it feel extra cozy. The shower is amazing! We had a marvellous time and loved seeing the highland cows over the garden fence. The location is perfect, we saw many gorgeous places in Scotland. We truly had a wonderful holiday.Read more I would love to live in a house like this in the Highlands one day. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you so much x Hide

Lovely cottage. Good size for 4 people. Beautiful main bathroom. Dog friendly but had to keep on lead in garden as he could get through gate. Only problem we had, it was way too hot and although it was the holiday season the owner himself came out and it was sorted.

This cottage is in a very good location to explore the Highlands, the Black Isle and Inverness. It is a good setting and comfortable. There were issues with the boiler cutting off overnight making it very cold in the morning and with not hot water. Every time it happened, it was dealt quickly but just shame it happened more than once.

A sensitive restoration of an old school which retains some period features alongside modern conveniences and quality furnishings. This is a lovely, cosy cottage within walking distance of the village centre. There is a large, wooded garden which is dog friendly but do be aware that a burn runs through the garden so toddlers would need to be supervRead moreised at all times. Muir of Ord is not far from Inverness and is a good location for exploring the Highlands. We really enjoyed our stay! Hide
