This fantastic property, located 2.5 miles from Nigg Ferry Terminal for boats over to Cromarty (3.6 miles by car), is the ideal place for a huge get-together – not forgetting your canine companions! Sleeping a whopping 34 over 14 bedrooms and with another four guests in two bedrooms in the cottage next door, this manor house has everything you need for a truly unforgettable holiday in the Scottish Highlands. Enjoy a film in the cinema room with real cinema seats or go out and explore the extensive grounds and watch the kids play in the play area.

The property, which has a BBQ hut and outside barn in the grounds, has all the space you could need for a once-in-a-lifetime gathering. Everyone can pitch in and help cook up a storm in the kitchen, although others might prefer to hide away in one of the lounges that each have their own grand style. Pups will enjoy curling up in front of the wood burners in these cosy rooms. Upstairs, the bedrooms have their own character; whether you stay in the woodland-themed room or one of the rooms with soft, pretty decor, you’re sure to have a peaceful night’s sleep.

Take a trip to the wonderful Portmahomack Beach (13.5 miles) where both youngsters and canine companions will love to dig and build sandcastles. If the weather catches you out, grab your things and pop into the Tarbat Discovery Centre where there are lots of artefacts to take a look at while you wait for the rain to blow over. Learn more about the region’s rich history at Tain Through Time, just 9 miles away. Dornoch (18.5 miles) is a fascinating town with lots of shops, cafes and a famous cathedral; it also has a beautiful beach full of golden sand.

We are a large group who have holidayed together for over 30 years climbing hills and playing board games. We were very pleased with the accommodation which held 27 of us comfortably. We cater for ourselves and the kitchen was fine. The beds were very comfortable although one room is a bit noisy, close to the boiler. There were sufficient bath and Read moreshower rooms with lots of hot water. The public rooms were suitable for relaxing and for our board games. Recommended! Hide
