  • "Bed and seating not too comfortable (for a couple in their middle 70s with arthritic bones!"

    !) Left one day early as needed a good night's sleep. Rather difficult to find anywhere close enough or open for an evening meal. Having said that the cottage is very well equipped and very clean

  • "The holiday at the Bothy was very good."

    The customer service from Sykes was not. I acknowledge that these are strange times but I received a few emails from Sykes giving confusing messages and I received NO responses to the many messages I sent. It was impossible to get through by telephone. On the last day of the holiday I received an email from Sykes offering me 2 choices: a partial refund or a full refund. I could ONLY use the online portal to choose, I was told NOT to contact Sykes by any other method. I have until 21 August to make a choice, neither of which applies to me. Thank goodness the property owner has helped. I could go on but I won’t.

Beauly 2.5 miles.

The small Highland village of Muir of Ord, based on the North Coast 500, lies close to the Beauly Firth and is conveniently situated for easy access to the village of Beauly, town of Dingwall and the capital city of the Highlands, Inverness, some 15 miles to the east. The village of Muir of Ord is a peaceful location to explore the Highlands, with all the required amenities – butchers, bakers, chemist, petrol station, pharmacy, and Co-op. Another major attraction is the Glen Ord Distillery and Visitor Centre, a 5 star award-winning visitor experience, which is open all the year round and well worth a visit.
