Seaside cottage by a sandy beach - dolphins, golf, near Inverness and Loch Ness

Recently renovated comfortable two bedroom cottage with a spacious garden with views of the sea and a sandy beach which is less than a minutes walk away. Watch out for the wild water swimmers every morning. Rosemarkie Golf course is five minutes walk away.

The Boathouse has a brand new contemporary kitchen, sofas, beds, decor and soft furnishings.

Peaceful relaxing area on the edge of Rosemarkie with its local amenities, cafes, restaurants and tourist attractions. Beautiful walk along the beach to Chanonry Lighthouse where the dolphins can be spotted daily as they swim up and down the Moray Firth.

All the amenities of the city of Inverness are only 20 minutes drive away with shops, restaurants, cinema, theatre and tourist attractions nearby e.g. Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, local Distilleries, Culloden Battlefield and much more.

The stunning west Coast of Scotland, the North Coast 500 and world famous golf courses and fishing are all easily accessible from the Black Isle.
New listing of an established and popular holiday home with many repeat customers.

Well presented, equipped, and immaculately clean. Comfortable bed and bedding. Nice touches like provision of some condiments, soap, shampoos, dishwasher tables, w/machine powder, tea bags, plastic bags and bag clips. A modern smart TV would have been appreciated. Between property and beach is end of caravan and campsite, didn't bother me, people sit in front of their tents and RVs looking out to sea, so not intrusive.

Fabulous cottage on the beach
Fabulous location right on the beach, short 20 minute walk to watch dolphins in the afternoon and 5 minute walk to local cafe (Crofters) for an afternoon cake and coffee (or beer!), be aware the cafe is only open until 7:30pm. Cottage is lovely with a garden to sit out and listen to the waves, well equipped with everything you need. Short 5 minute drive gets you to Fortrose with a coop, chip shop (you have to visit McGintys!) and a few other eateries. Well located to adventure further afield (cairngorms / Loch Ness). If driving, the parking we felt was a challenge to get in and out, needs some careful reversing and turning skills!

Top holiday
The property was excellent. Comfy beds are very important in old age and these were excellent. The bathroom shower was over the bah but no problem. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed . Much like at home. The house was good value but the VRBO service charge was exorbitant. Also they were difficult to contact.

Perfect holiday cottage
We felt like home immediately as the boathouse is really cozily arranged and perfectly equipped, lots of extras and homely furniture. Kids were totally happy with the cottage, too, and loved being directly at the sea. We stayed at the boathouse at the end of October, during this time it was not crowded at all at the beach, so both house and beach made the stay very relaxing. The garden with sea view is also beautiful. There is a good restaurant and cafe a couple of minutes walk away at the sea and in the other direction the doplhin view point. We would love to come back to this place soon.

Ein Traum von Ferienhaus!
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Alles war perfekt - die komfortable Ausstattung, das geschmackvolle, fast skandinavische Design, die Lage direkt am Strand. (Ein paar Spiele und Bücher wären vielleicht noch nett.) Sehr zu empfehlen die Spaziergänge zum Leuchtturm und zu den Wasserfällen!!

I stayed in the holiday home with a friend. We found a beautiful and lovingly furnished accommodation with an excellently equipped kitchen. Everything was exactly as described and really very clean and well maintained. I can highly recommend this accommodation. We would always ask again when we are on holiday in the area. Many thanks to Carol for letting us stay here.

A lovely place to be
A very nice house with a wonderful view over the Moray Firth. The boat house is fully equipped, we didn't miss anything. And the garden is also lovely. Only the door locks a bit heavy and the bottom mattress of the bunk bed is very noisy and uncomfortable. The rest was perfect and I'm sure we are coming back :)

Fantastische Woche
Gemütliches Haus direkt am Strand mit Blick auf den Moray Firth. Glück hatten wir mit dem Wetter, sodass wir unsere Woche dort sehr genießen konnten. Guter Standort für Ausflüge nach Inverness, in die Cairngorms, die Nordwest-Highlands, zum Loch Ness oder einfach vor Ort zum Dolphin Watching vom nur wenige hundert Meter entfernten Aussichtspunkt Chanonry Point aus. Traumhaft.
