"Great place to stay."
Only a couple of minor things that need fixing. Slightly leaking tap in the kitchen and new rubber seal in sink plug in bathroom otherwise everything was terrific

"Just spent a lovely week in Pebbles Cottage with amazing views over the Loch."
The outside covered space with seating was great as the weather was hot (21c) and it provided us with shade during the midday heat. The owners dog, Jura, would visit every day and we had a lot fun playing out on the front grassed area with the dog and her toys. The Cottage was very clean and tidy and the walk in shower was lovely. Plenty of walks around the area and the drive up to Strathconon on Sunday morning was breath taking with lovely scenery. Looking forward to a return stay soon. Allan and Marina
Thank you both wecwill look forward to youre return . kind regards Campbell& Michelle Property Owner

"We were a family of 4 with one of my son in a wheelchair."
We had a good time at Pebbles cottage. The location was great, along the scenic Loch Achilty. The access into the cottage was slightly difficult for a wheelchair, but the cottage is not designed or advertised as a Wheelchair friendly one, however we liked the location so decided to go for it and managed. The property was in clean condition, the owner was very friendly and welcoming and gave us very useful suggestions about local areas to explore. She was quick to respond to anything we needed. Property is a great location for people with interest in fishing, and water adventure and for walking and exploring nature. Cottage did had some minor maintenance issues and kitchenware needs up keeping. As there were lot of dogs of guests as well as the owner around, when we visited, we had to cope up with the occasional dog mess, which could be helped with some gentle reminders for the guests to keep the lawn clean. Overall, we had a good time and would recommend.

"The cottage is in a great location for visiting many scenic sites and is well located for some good hikes."
It’s situation is rural but close enough to Dingwall and Strathpeffer if you need a supermarket or fancy a coffee, lunch or evening meal at the deli cafe in Strathpeffer. We had a great Staycation here and would recommend this cottage and its location. The WiFi works well and the facilities are comfortable and adequate.

"Lovely holiday , lots to see and do."
Cottage in great location and on Loch Achility , where the owner offered boat trip .
-
"We had fantastic holiday."
Great setting right beside the loch. The kids spent hours swimming and playing in the loch and the grass area just outside the cottage. The owners were lovely and let us borrow their paddle board, bike and rowing boat. Would definitely go back again.

"Pebbles Cottage was perfect!"
It was clean, comfortable and cozy for me, my two children and dog. The location by the loch cannot be underestimated, it truly is stunning. Mrs Rose is great. She made sure we had everything we needed and nothing was any trouble for her. If you're looking for a peaceful break in a beautiful setting, I can't recommend this place enough.

"Mrs Rose a very nice lady very helpful , and her dog checked morning & night to make sure we were ok ."
Its a lovely quiet place I would go back .

"Make sure you take a good stock of supplies with you,if you run out of something you will be better off travelling the extra distance to Strathpeffer as the local general store in Contin is extortionate."
-
"Lack of shelving in the bathroom."
No shaving point. Very cramped kitchen. Storage areas needed. No DVD player as stated. I would suggest that the hot water needs looking at. Far to hot and no warning of this above the sinks.

"My Friend and I had a wonderful holiday riding our motorbikes in stunning scottish scenery & glorious sunshine."
The cabin provided the perfect location to stay giving us a choice of places to ride to. It's was clean comfy and well equipped apart from the bathroom which lacked shelves to put things on when washing or having a bath. The shower was ok but not very powerful. Parking was great for cars or motorbikes and we were made welcome on arrival & departure by the owners. Overall would highly recommend for a holiday.

The property
Strathpeffer 3 miles.
A spacious detached log-clad cottage, on the banks of a pretty loch in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
One of just three similar cottages set in a quiet private plot, this cottage near Strathpeffer offers fabulous uninterrupted views across Loch Achilty to the mountains beyond.
This Strathpeffer cottage would be ideal for a small family group or group of friends who will simply love the stunning location and the peace and tranquillity.
The very bright and spacious accommodation in this Strathpeffer cottage is all on one level, with two comfortable bedrooms situated off the main open plan living area, which is a very sociable space and benefits from sliding doors out to the front of the cottage.
Outside this Strathpeffer cottage is a private seating area which is a great place for a quiet read or perhaps some alfresco dining.
The Highlands of Scotland not only offer beautiful scenery, but there are also lots of things to do and places to visit.
The capital of the Highlands, Inverness, is a short drive away and is well worth a visit, especially if you are looking for good restaurants.
For a great beach, visit the seaside town of Nairn on the Moray Firth coast and perhaps explore the fishing villages along that coastline.
Take the road west to Plockton, Kyle and Skye, or just stay closer to home and spend time in the lovely spa town of Strathpeffer, with its great walks and cycle paths.
For wildlife lovers there is much to see on land, in the air and on the water so keep your camera close at hand.
This Strathpeffer cottage will ensure a wonderful holiday for all.

About the location
STRATHPEFFER
Inverness 20 miles.
Often compared to a Bavarian Mountain resort, the picturesque spa village of Strathpeffer owes its growth to the discovery of water springs during the 1700s, and was declared in 1819 to be the healthiest drinking water in Britain! The original Spa Pavilion has been magnificently restored after a period of disuse and now serves as a venue for a variety of events, including concerts, dances, dramas and exhibitions. The former Victorian railway station, which in times past brought many visitors from near and far, has now been beautifully restored to house craft workers and their shops, and is also home to the Highland Museum of Childhood. Visit the restored Pump house (also a Tourist Information point), take a walk along a forest track, or enjoy the views from the nearby pictish hill fort at Knockfarrel. Whatever you decide there's plenty on offer for all the family.
Note: One well behaved dog only welcome at the property.
