“Squirrel Lodge was a lovely find.”

The place was just right for us. Set in a lovely garden with so much wildlife around, Red squirrel every day to the feeders, redpoll, siskin and crossbill, along with deer. The Lodge is comfortable, warm and well equipped, very comfortable bed. Very handy for going to Cairngorms, Black Isle, or the Moray firth coast. Nairn, Findhorn and Burghead. Lots of sea ducks at this time of year, and Pink footed geese. Saw Dolphin off Burghead. Nice touches withe wine and chocs. Would very much ...

“Lovely, cosy little apartment with the most perfect velux window above the bed to watch the stars at night.”

Has everything you need for an indivual or couple and the heating heats it up in seconds, perfect. I would like to point out as it wasn't shown on the photos when we booked, but the property is right next to the owner's, this wasn't a problem as the owners were super lovely but it was a surprise at first! Would love to stay again though, their garden is well kept and perfect for wildlife; we saw a roe deer, a hare, and a few red squirrels just in the garden! We walked down the lane each morning too and saw plenty more roe deer darting about in the woodland. The apartment is also in a perfect location, just off the main road but close enough to Inverness for a restaurant or shopping, and Chanonry Point for dolphin watching was only 40 minutes away and didn't disappoint! 10/10 would recommend this place, thank you.

“Small, simple space with everything needed for a quiet week away.”

The surrounding are beautiful, even in a dull November, surprisingly warm even though it was -3C one day. It’s far enough from the main road so you feel like you’re in the remote wilderness but only 15 minutes drive from Inverness city centre. A great base for sightseeing the Highlands, we will be returning for our spring break...

The property

Croy 2 miles.

An immaculately-presented first floor apartment, peacefully located in the beautiful Scottish Highlands next to the owner's home.

This neat and tastefully appointed apartment is ideal for a couple who want a relaxing break and who will enjoy spending time together in a rural and stunning location.

The accommodation is all at first floor level.

There is a comfortable double bedroom with views overlooking green fields to the surrounding hills.

The bedroom also has an en-suite shower room and lots of storage space.

The open plan living area has a well-equipped kitchen, cosy sitting area and extra little things to make your holiday easier such as the electronically controlled window blinds!

The front door opens onto a large, spacious balcony with furniture; a fabulous place to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or pre-dinner drink whilst watching out for the red squirrels and deer that can be frequently spotted here.

The area close by is brimming with history, Culloden Battlefield is just two miles away.

Also close by are the atmospheric Clava Cairns; a prehistoric burial ground which is worth a visit.

Nearby the Prisoners Stone and Cumberland Stone can be found, remnants of the Battle of Culloden.

The River Nairn, can be accessed by a five minute walk on a quiet track leading from your highland apartment.

If you are a fan of skiing you could venture into Aviemore, just thirty miles away for some fantastic slopes.

Loch Ness is also a quick twenty minute drive where cruises are available.

This is an area full of wonderful things to experience, but at the end of a busy day you will simply love to return to the quiet comfort of your apartment.

About the location

CROY

Nairn 7 miles; Inverness 10 miles; Inverness Airport 3 miles.

Croy is a small village overlooking the Moray Firth, in the Highland region of Scotland between Nairn and Inverness. Just a mile from Croy is Kilravock Castle, which has been the seat of the Clan Rose since the 15th century. Nairn is seven miles away and is an attractive, lively seaside town dating back to Victorian times. It has long been a popular holiday destination and is just 16 miles from the Millennium city of Inverness. Nairn even lays claim to being one of the driest and sunniest places in the country! The town offers some of the top beaches in Scotland and the cleanest bathing waters in Britain. Also, one of the only two dolphin colonies in the UK is based in the Moray Firth. Nairn is steeped in history and closely linked with the Battle of Culloden, whilst nearby Fort George is Europe’s best-preserved 18th century military fortification. Golfing enthusiasts will be attracted to the three 18-hole championship courses, including the Nairn Golf Club which staged the Walker Cup in 1999, and Castle Stuart which has hosted the Scottish Open.
