Cottage holiday rentals in Highland Council

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

Eagles Nest is a stunning property in a peaceful and beautiful location. David was a superb host who was there to meet us and give us great inside guidance on Skye. The apartment was spotless and had considerations for every situation we could think of including a lovely hamper which meant we didnt need to consider rushing around for food after a long drive. A cosy home which is ideal for 2 people and is a perfect location where you can easily drive to all the tourist spots in under an hour but not be overwhelmed by Tourists day and night.

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

Wow!! What a beautiful spot! Betty’s lookout was perfectly outfitted for our party of three and we enjoyed both the cabin, the hot tub, the wood burning stove and the views!!! We were so lucky to get the pleasure of the incredible food, service and ambience of Monkstadt 1745 for dinner while there. Making our bucket list trip to Scotland and Isle of Skye so very special. Thank you for an incredible experience.

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

A fabulous cottage with excellent views, was a great few nights at peace. Everything was how it was listed and we will definitely be back.

Amazing location and host! Adam showed us around on his farm and was very helpful in setting up the hottub and recommending activities in the area. Would definitely book it again!

Great host and loved the location and accommodation. Garden was great for the dogs and chilling with a beer and beautiful beach 5 minutes across the road. Locals and neighbours were very friendly Travelled to John ‘Groats, The Black Isle and Nairn during our stay. Highly recommend as either a base for touring or just a peaceful break in beautiful unspoilt surroundings.

lovely stay with fantastic views from the living room and great walks on the doorstep

We booked for a last minute get away and Tim & Judy’s place did not disappoint! The cottage was gorgeous and Tim was very helpful in getting us settled - peanuts were set right outside the kitchen window and we had red squirrels within minutes! Lots more bird watching was done throughout our stay :)) The fire and heaters kept us cosy, and the kitchen was well equipped. Will be returning soon hopefully!

The cottage is beautiful and comfortable to stay in. We didn't get a chance to light the log burner but it would be lovely on a cool night, and we were supplied with plenty of logs. The area is stunning and there is plenty to do locally. Andrew was always happy to chat and even brought over some toys for our baby.

Very responsive and polite owners when we needed them. The cottage was beautiful with recommendations of places to visit. Stunning views from the living room watching the sun set and beautiful garden for the dogs to roam. Not too far away from lovely walks out in the country, and the shops in the town nearby, isn’t too much of a drive. The cottage also has all the kitchen utensils you could need and plenty storage space. Felt very welcoming and clean when we arrived too

The Garden Cottage was perfect for the last leg of our Scotland visit! it was clean, cozy, comfortable & well outfitted! We loved exploring and then coming back to cook in the well outfitted kitchen. The coffee and tea selections were great and an added treat. The chairs overlooking the garden were very much appreciated. The gardens were brilliant! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven!

Beautiful little cottage has everything you need to feel right at home. It has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. The bedroom is relaxing and bed is very comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. Chris and janet have put lots of local information in the cottage to help make the most of your stay. Only draw back is there is no shop in fortingall, so your nearest shop is in Aberfeldy 7miles away ( not a big deal for us as we were out most of the day). We would highly recommend a visit to the owl house. Many thanks for hosting us. We might see you again when we come back to climb meall nan tarmachan at some point x

Cathels Cottage is a wonderful place. The highlight is the location - you have a view of the sea and the cliffs. The cottage is also at the end of a road, with only the sheep as neighbours, so it's really quiet and secluded and therefore perfect for relaxing. The living room is spacious and very cosy with comfortable seating. The kitchen is well equipped. From the window in the bedroom you have a magnificent view of the cliffs, the bed is cosy and the bathroom has everything you need. There is a sheltered outdoor area around the cottage with a nice seating area. The cottage is definitely a place we would recommend.

What a treat this house is! Charlotte's house was immaculately clean, cosy but not cramped, actually felt a lot bigger than the photos. Absolutely stunning location, with the sea to your left, very cute sheep and cows as neighbours, every other direction decorated with forest, moors, untouched nature. We greatly appreciated the spices and small touches which helped us feel very comfortable during our short stay. Will definitely stay again! Thank you so much for having us!

My group of 4 really enjoyed our stay at Ken’s! We were here for 2 nights. We had a car so it was easy to go out and about. The city centre of Inverness is very close with a lot to see and eat. We enjoyed an afternoon at Culloden Battlefield, lunch at Playback, dinner at Cheese & Tomatin and a drink at McGregor’s. We also visited Castle Tavern for a dinner one night. Would definitely recommend Ken’s stay!

What a wonderful place! The apartment is incredibly modern but cozy, well insulated and has the most amazing views. We'd come visit again in a heartbeat!

We absolutely loved staying here. The croft was light, bright, spotless and a joy to stay in. Beautiful scenery. Red deer, wild goats and, we think, a golden eagle visited us in the neighbouring fields.

Wonderful Dairy Farm cottage with lovely host. The store & cafe was wonderful as well. We took the recommendations and drove out to the west coast beach and saw so many wonderful things along the drive! Highly recommend any of Carolyn’s cottages for your stay. We drove into Cromarty and along that coast area and found some great treasures to take back to the USA.

We had a lovely stay at Deborah’s cottage near Melvich Beach! The location is perfect—peaceful and just a short walk to the beach, which made it an ideal coastal getaway. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and really comfortable—clearly looked after with care. Deborah was a warm and welcoming host, very friendly and easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely wants her guests to feel at home. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet, scenic escape in the Highlands. We'd definitely stay again!

We had a fantastic stay. The studio is in a stunning location with great views of the loch and mountains. It's very cozy and feels like home (and it was spotlessly clean). It's a perfect base for exploring the area and a lovely place to come back to in the evening. Neil and Carol also provide a great, and very detailed, guide for things to do in the area. We would highly recommend staying here.

We had a lovely stay at Tracey’s guesthouse with its amazing views. Had a great meal at the pub as recommended by James, and cooked in the well appointed kitchen our second night. We had everything we needed and appreciated the breakfast provisions so thoughtfully provided. Would highly recommend!
