Little Oaks

Little Oaks is a charming single-storey retreat resting in Poyntzfield in the Scottish Highlands, perfectly positioned to enjoy both the peace of the countryside and the richness of the surrounding destination. Set within a tranquil rural setting on the Black Isle, with far-reaching views and abundant wildlife, this inviting abode is ideal for couples seeking a relaxed escape with plenty to explore nearby. Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a comfortable sitting room, providing a pleasant space to unwind after a day of exploring, with a sofa bed offering a touch of flexibility. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials needed to prepare simple meals, which can be enjoyed together as you plan the adventures ahead. When sleep calls, a double bedroom awaits, offering a restful place to recharge. A shower room, complete with a walk-in luxury shower, serves the property and provides a refreshing spot to start or end your day. Outside, the private patio with seating invites you to slow things down and enjoy the fresh Highland air, whether that’s with a morning coffee or an evening drink. The wood-fired hot tub has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the setting — open the overhead louvred canopy to take in dark skies or, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights, or close it for shelter on a rainy evening. Subtle solar lighting enhances the garden, creating a beautiful backdrop for relaxed evenings outdoors. Off-road parking adds to the ease of your stay, while the rural setting ensures a sense of peace and quiet throughout. Nature is very much part of the experience at Little Oaks, the nearby woodland is home to a wonderful variety of wildlife, and with a little luck you may spot foxes, pine martens, badgers, roe deer or hares passing through. Birdwatchers are equally well catered for, with regular sightings of red kites, woodpeckers, owls, ospreys and a range of garden birds. Beyond your retreat, the Black Isle offers a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, enjoy coastal walks and beaches at Cromarty and Fortrose, or head to Chanonry Point for one of the best dolphin-watching spots along the Moray Firth. For those seeking more active pursuits, the Red Rocks trails at Learnie are a popular destination for mountain biking, while walkers are spoilt for choice — from Ben Wyvis for Munro baggers, to Fyrish Monument, the Sutor walk in Cromarty, and the enchanting Fairy Glen in Rosemarkie. Little Oaks is also ideally placed to explore further afield. The iconic North Coast 500 route is within easy reach, offering the option to head west into dramatic Highland scenery or north along the east coast. The Highland capital of Inverness is less than 30 minutes away, where you can enjoy riverside walks, shops, and access to the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness, linking east to west along the Great Glen. Coastal towns such as Elgin and Lossiemouth also offer sandy beaches and scenic seafronts within driving distance. Whether you’re looking to relax and reconnect with nature or use it as a base to explore the Highlands, Little Oaks offers a memorable and well-positioned escape.
