  • "Nanville cottage is absolutely superb."

    The 5 star review does not do it the justice it deserves. The cottage is beautifully presented with every home comfort provided. The welcome pack that the owner (Laura) leaves is far more than you would expect and is extremely generous. She even left a welcome pack for our dog! The cottage has every item you could possibly need to make your stay as easy and relaxing as possible. Everything is in excellent condition and immaculately clean and has a cosy and homely feel. The location is very peaceful yet convenient for the shops and restaurants of the lovely village of Beauly. The cottage sits on an elevated position with fabulous views across open countryside towards the Beauly Firth and Inverness beyond. Laura, the owner, is a lovely person who can give you lots of information about the local area, places to visit and things to see. The nearby Glen Ord Distillery tour is a must!

    We were visiting our family who live close by, so we were very familiar with the area and it’s natural beauty. It’s a very quiet and peaceful area where we could relax as well. We shall go back when we next go North.

  • "What can I say?"

    Genuinely one of the most welcoming and homely cottages I have had the pleasure of staying in. We visited here during the October holidays and although we didn't arrive until after 8pm we were welcomed by the caretaker of the cottage Audrey who showed us around. The cottage was so warm and there was the most delicious and generous welcome pack. We had arranged for a Tesco delivery to come between 8-10pm and arrived at 8.30 which was perfect! The cottage had everything you could possibly need and Laura is the most wonderful host who was always on hand if we needed anything. She is so knowledgeable about the area and gave us lots of options for places to visit with our 6 and 4 year old. The sunrise from the front of the house every morning was amazing and the grounds at the back were perfect for the girls to explore. If you are considering booking this place then go for it - you wont be disappointed! I can't thank Laura enough for a beautiful get away from the busy city life - we will definitely book to return in the near future! Thank You! Lisa

  • "Stunning, Beautiful, Perfect!"

    ! We had a fabulous week away relaxing at Nanville. The house is cosy, warm, spacious, and immaculately clean. We have rented many holiday homes in the past, but this one has been our favourite by far. Great quiet location with lovely views. We felt as though we were house sitting for friends, rather than renting a holiday home!! The house is beautifully decorated with gorgeous furniture and accessories, with so much attention to detail, even down to the cute gold bee ornament in the bedroom!! Our little dog was the most relaxed we've ever seen him, he loved the big comfy bed provided and was more than happy curled up on it, while we were busy cooking dinner. Laura is the most thoughtful, kind and welcoming host I have ever had the pleasure to meet. All the extra little touches did not go unnoticed, they were greatly appreciated, and made our holiday even more memorable and special. I wish I was able to award this stunning property more than 5 stars, it so deserves it!! Thank you for everything Laura, and for allowing us to share your beautiful home. See you next year......

    Thank you for such a lovely review. Look forward To seeing you against next year. Laura. Property Owner

    It was immaculate and felt like home from the moment we walked through the door. It was beautifully appointed and the furnishings were of a high standard. There was thoughtful attention to detail from a lovely clean dog bed, bowl and dog treats to fresh flowers. A lovely welcome tray of goodies was provided and was extremely welcome after an 11 hour journey. Laura rang a couple of days before our stay to confirm details and to check if we needed anything because she wanted to make sure everything was perfect for us. We were due to arrive at the cottage at 4pm but due to a major accident we didn't arrive until 8.45pm. When we rang Laura to let her know what was happening she was really lovely, asking if she could get anything for us so we didn't have to go to the shops when we got there. So thoughtful and kind. We can't say how lovely Laura and Gav are. Nothing was a bother for them. Although they lived next door, we felt extremely comfortable. If we needed help with anything at all, including places to visit, they were more than happy to help. What a beautiful property and a beautiful couple. Thank you so much Laura and Gav for your kindness and attentiveness and for helping make our holiday special. We will 100% be returning. Michelle, Jonathan, Bron and Mick.

  • "The Nanville Cottage was perfect in every respect, the location, the facilities provided, and the support of the team who own and maintain the house."

    We had regular email contact with the owners before, during, and after the visit to ensure the stay was problem-free, this was appreciated but not required as the place had everything required, and a little more. From the fresh sunflowers placed in the window, to the pint of locally sourced milk in the fridge, along with tea, coffee and some Scottish cookies left out for us, it actually felt like coming home. The cottage looks rustic (part of the charm) outside but inside, the functional living areas were quite modern with a large fully fitted kitchen, lovely spacious bathroom, dining room, and cozy living room with Netflix etc.. to help relax or keep everyone entertained in the evenings after a day out sightseeing or hiking. Bedding and Bedrooms (like the other rooms) were clean with the beds comfy, the most important factors for us. Outside had plenty space for kids to play, parking for the car, bikes etc.. And a table and chairs to eat out when it was warm enough. All in all, one of the best stays we have had in 20 years of holiday home rentals. 5 STARS!

    The cottage is of traditional Highland design & has been beautifully renovated but includes all the modern facilities whilst retaining traditional features. All the rooms are a good size & whilst we stayed at Nanville as a couple there are 3 good size bedrooms. Our bedroom had a lovely comfortable bed & all the bed linen & towels were of high quality & there were great views from all windows of the property. The bathroom also has a bath & large corner shower with good water pressure & easy temperature control. The dining room & lounge easily accommodate 6 adults. There is a TV in the dining room & lounge. There is nothing we needed that wasn't provided. At the rear of the property was a lovely patio table & 4 chairs which overlooked the extensive garden & there are also 2 other seats which could be moved round from the front of the property. The location is ideally situated for the Central Highlands & approx 20 mins from Inverness, a few miles from Muir of Ord, Beauly, Dingwall ETC.

The property

Beauly 1.9 miles.

Nestled away in the Scottish highlands in Ardnagrask near Beauly is this immaculate, detached one-and-a-half-storey cottage, Nanville.

Perfect for a family of six wanting to explore the beautiful highlands, Nanville not only enjoys a fantastic mixture of characterful and contemporary accents throughout, but it’s within easy reach of Moray Firth with its quaint settlements dotted around the water, along with the Scottish coast.

Upon arriving at Nanville, you will be pleased to discover ample off-road parking for three cars and extensive views of the spectacular countryside.

Make your way into the property to immediately find yourself in a sleek kitchen, this amply-equipped space is served by a handful of convenient appliances, including a dishwasher and washing machine!

After fixing up a fabulous dinner, continue through to the stylish dining room, and catch up with your group as you savour a meal by the woodburning stove, with the TV on in the background.

The sitting room is a great space to unwind with your loved ones, curl up on sofas in front of the TV to enjoy a movie night.

When it's time for bed, venture upstairs to find an excellent king-size room that benefits from tasteful décor and a vaulted ceiling, along with a twin room that is made light and airy throughout by VELUX windows.

Those looking for a bit of privacy will be pleased to know that an additional double room can be accessed by a separate staircase.

The well-presented bathroom can be found on the ground floor and will leave you spoilt for choice, with a separate bath and walk-in shower!

Enjoy a morning coffee in the enclosed garden, before embarking on a leisurely walk or short drive to the village of Beauly to grab your amenities.

Beauly is not only home to your necessities, it is a superb destination for a day out, with the winding River Beauly to stroll along, the ruins of Beauly Priory to explore and the glorious Beaufort Castle to venture through.

Nanville rests in a rural location, however, it is still moments away, via car or walking, from the large village of Muir of Ord, where you can enjoy a guided tour through the Glen Ord of Singleton Distillery, or partake in a game of putty at the local golf club, which is just a short walk away; why not go for an adventurous trail through the vast Clash Wood?

Visit the bustling city of Inverness with its beautiful Cathedral and Castle waiting to be wandered through, a fascinating Museum & Art Gallery, along with the stunning Merkinch Local Nature Reserve and Ness Islands - ideal for nature-lovers.

Be sure to take advantage of Nanville's links to the Scottish coast and travel to Nairn and Findhorn for abundant seaside fun!

An excellent stay in a magnificent location, choose Nanville for your next Scotland adventure.

About the location

BEAULY

Inverness 12 miles.

Lying on the north bank of the River Beauly, just 12 miles west of Inverness, the village of Beauly is situated at the very heart of the Highlands. An excellent location for touring, the village is within easy reach of Loch Ness, the ancient Caledonian pine forests of Glen Affric and Strathfarrar and the coast (sandy beaches 8 miles). The name Beauly comes from the French “beau lieu” or “beautiful place” and the village prides itself on being both scenic and well-kept, having won both Scotland and Britain in Bloom titles. One of Beauly's highlights is the ruined 13th Century priory, around which the village was built. Today the village is famous for its craft-based industries and offers an excellent selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. With some of the best scenery the Highlands has to offer just on the doorstep, Beauly makes an excellent holiday base!
