Brilliant Boathouse

Our first time in Scotland. Everything was easy, breezy, beautiful. The property was superb; clean, comfy and convenient. Handy location to set your own pace of holiday. Right on the beach to stay there and relax, or easy to drive out further for adventure. We had a great time. And host Carol is copl.

A relaxing and quiet break in a perfect location

The location of the cottage is just perfect, across a very quiet road is the sea which can be heard gently lapping on the shore. The next door caravan site is very quiet and all one can hear are birds and sea. There are 2 cafes nearby but the cottage is very well equipped for all cooking needs. The beds are extremely comfortable and the shower strong and as hot as you want it. We ended up staying for 2 weeks because we loved it so much and even though the weather was not good we totally relaxed and enjoyed the peace of Rosemarkie.

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.

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 :)

The Best Beach Cottage We’ve Stayed In

Greetings from Augsburg, Germany – Inverness' twin city! Our family had the pleasure of staying at The Boathouse, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better holiday experience. The cottage is not only beautifully decorated and cosy, but also wonderfully equipped and spotlessly clean. The location is a dream, right by the beach, and we absolutely loved our walks along the shore to the lighthouse. The kids, on the other hand, were especially excited about the local sports field, and they had a blast playing tennis with rackets hired for just £2 at the Rosemarkie Beach Café. One of the highlights was exploring the Fairy Glen; the walk to the waterfalls and the climb over the hill rewarded us with stunning views that we’ll remember for a long time. We’ve had a fantastic time here and will definitely be spreading the word about this lovely cottage. Many thanks for making our stay so memorable!

Recommended

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!
