Nanville

We really enjoyed our stay at Nanville.

It’s an exceptional cottage which is very comfortable, well maintained and kept very clean. It’s equipped with everything you might possibly need for staying in a holiday cottage, especially if self-catering. Its location is in a quiet rural area with impressive views and is also ideally placed for exploring further afield having good road links in all directions. The owner was very helpful in providing us with information prior to our trip and very welcoming at the property itself. We have visited many holiday cottages and this is definitely top of our list for a return visit.

Laura has created a home from home, we loved staying at Nanville.

She made us feel so welcome, we will definitely be back. She's thought of everything you could need and went above and beyond. The views are stunning and the grounds are immaculate. We saw so much wildlife just in the garden. We were visiting family nearby. It's a perfect base for exploring the highlands, with so much on your doorstep and close to Inverness. Can't recommend it enough!

We really enjoyed our stay here in this beautiful cottage.

It was very clean, had lots of space and the beds were super comfy! The garden & surroundings of the cottage were lovely and not to mention the outstanding views! Laura was so welcoming, friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Thank you again for a brilliant stay, we would highly recommend.

Our second visit.

Lovely warm cottage with fabulous views. We’ve stayed in quite a few Sykes cottage’s, all good, but Nanville is exceptional, we can’t recommend it enough. The owners live next door and really make you welcome. Loads to do in the area, dolphin watching just down the coast, scenic walks, Inverness very close, Singleton distillery 2 miles away has an excellent cafe, it’s a perfect location. We can’t wait to return for another holiday.

By far the very best cottage I've ever stayed in, been staying at nanville for a few years now and wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Everything is perfect as far as I'm concerned.

We had a fantastic week at Nanville.

Laura was a brilliant host, the cottage was beautiful and in a great location. We will definitely return.

Nanville is the perfect holiday home.

Fully equipped with everything you need. Spacious and homely. The garden is huge and very well kept. Loads of space for kids to run around or your 4 legged friend to explore. Laura and Gavin are the perfect hosts and ready to assist with any problems. Their knowledge of the surrounding area is brilliant and they are ready to advise on the best places to visit and eat. This is our second time visiting Nanville but definitely not our last. It is the perfect base for exploring the highlands. We cannot recommend this place more highly, with 10 being the most likely to recommend we would give it 20. Absolutely fantastic 2 weeks spent in Scotland and it was not long enough. Still more places to see. Thank you xxx

We had a brilliant time at Nanville, the cottage was very spacious and well equipped for the two of us and spotlessly clean.

It was very nicely decorated and maintained and the owner Laura was very friendly and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring the area and enjoying the best of Scotland. Loved meeting Buddy the pooch! He’s a sweetie.

We had a marvellous stay at Nanville.

A very well equipped cottage, immaculately clean , lovely place to relax after exploring the Highlands . We were made to feel very welcome and I would totally recommend it.

The cottage was perfect, comfort & spacious - one of the best we’ve used (& we’ve stayed in many over the years).

The owners, Laura & Gavin, were lovely - on hand if we needed anything, but never pushy. When we left, we felt we were leaving new friends behind.

We had a great week @ Nanville, it really was a home from home.

I’ve been to many self catering accommodation and this truly stood out. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Laura and Gavin were great hosts, thanks.

The best cottage I've stayed in, been visiting that part of the Highlands for 13 years and the best place I've found.

The owners are very helpful and friendly very lovely people. It's a home from home not like a holiday cottage at all.

Great stay, owner nearby was full of enthusiasm and a helpful mine of local knowledge.

I am sure we will return. Christine Darton

Upon arrival we were met by Laura the owner.

She was very informative of al the local amenities. Instantly made us welcome and comfortable. The cottage was amazing and very well stocked with all the essential items needed. The garden was huge and very spacious for our pooch to explore. The views from the windows were amazing and abundant wildlife all around. We even had deer in the garden. Excellent location for exploring the highlands of Scotland. 20mins drive from Inverness and only an hour to Ullapool. Pleasant villages nearby for high quality local produce. Ideal place to relax. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this cottage. The holiday experience was outstanding due to our lovely host Laura who was on hand to give advice any time we needed.

Highly recommended, just like a home from home, owners were particularly welcoming and helpful.

And to top it of was perfect for our dog with the large garden.

We’ve stayed in several Sykes cottages, all good, but Nanville is exceptional.

The owners Laura and Gavin live next door and go out of their way to ensure you have a great holiday. I would have no hesitation in booking again, lovely modern interior, loads of space with 3 bedrooms. Modern kitchen with everything you need, and some. Large garden with fantastic views across farmland. Loads of car parking off road. Fly fishing loch and river within 30 minutes of the door, Singleton distillery 2 miles down the road, a tour is a must. Dolphin watching from the beach, local walks, golf course at the end of the road, you won’t be short of things to do. This was our first holiday in the Highlands and it won’t be the last.

A lovely stay for a week at Nanville cottage.

The cottage is well located in a rural location but close enough to facilities and big supermarkets et cetera in Inverness 15 miles away. Cottage spotless with a well equipped kitchen and plenty of outside space around it for our dog. Three comfortable double bedrooms with a comfy lounge and modern smart TV. Laura and Gavin, who live next door were excellent hosts, attentive to all our needs and a wealth of information as to places to visit. I would highly recommend this property.

Brilliant week away, Laura was a perfect host.

Very well located for the Black Isle and surrounding highlands and the cottage was very well equipped. Fantastic communication before and during the stay, no question was too big! Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

Lovely house, ideally located, clean and tidy, well equipped, lovely hosts be hard pushed to find anywhere better than nanville.

Been holidaying in Highlands for 12years wouldn't stay anywhere else.

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!

This property deserves a 5* plus plus review, the cottage was everything and more than our expectations, and Laura was very friendly and helpful, the little extras she added were wonderful, and she was there if we needed her.

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.

Thank you to our hosts Laura and Gavin for a lovely stay and the exccellent welcome pack with the added fresh farm milk and eggs.

The views from the cottage were amazing, a rural setting yet close to all the amenities and great for exploring the area. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Hope to return next year.

Our first holiday to the Scottish Highlands was amazing and staying at Nanville topped it off.

A beautiful cottage in a perfect location to visit so many places. The views from the cottage are stunning and the owners, Laura and Gavin, were lovely offering advice on many places to see near and far. The cottage is super clean and well equipped, a lovely place to come back to and relax after a day out walking. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at Nanville to anyone.

We had a perfect stay.

The cottage is as described, in a beautiful area, with everything provided for. The host was an absolute pleasure to meet and accommodating in every way possible to help make great memories. I've been to many cottages and airbnbs across the uk, and this really was the best stay we had. The place was spotless clean, area is quiet, and you can find pretty much find all amenities you could ask for. Hope to return at some point in the future.

The cottage was just a home from home.

Everything you could need was there and the owners Laura Ana Gavin, who live next door, couldn’t have been more obliging. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nanville was excellent accomodation.

The owner Laura and her family were excellent, and they were very helpful at letting us know where was the best locations to visit. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for somewhere quiet but easy to go visiting all the local sites. Our Collie Skye loved the massive garden at this property.

I've been going to highlands twice a year for the last 11years and this is the best place I've stayed in, lovely house and lovely owners, definitely be booking there for any future holidays.

Absolutely lovely cottage for a family to stay.

Laura is such a welcoming owner. Well equipped and clean! Lovely view and garden for our crazy dog :)

On our arrival at the property we had a very warm welcome from Laura the owner, the cottage was very cosy and well equipped with everything you would ever need.

Laura was very friendly and keen for us to let her know if we needed anything, was always happy to answer any questions or advise us on any queries we had. We would fully recommend this property, and feel there are changes required.We would certainly come back again.

Nanville is a lovely property with great views and a fantastic garden for the dog.

Immaculate inside and Laura is a great owner on hand with lots of recommendations for the local area. Thank you for the lovely treats as well. Highly recommended you will have a great stay.

A lovely, homely cottage in a beautiful setting and Laura is such a kind host.

The cottage was fantastic for our family of 4.

Laura and Gavin were excellent hosts and made our stay so comfortable. I would highly recommend this property.

An excellent property in a perfect setting for ease of seeing sights and the views.

The owners were so helpful and friendly with useful advice on facilities and places of interest. The cottage and its position made my stay feel like home with benefits. Fully recommend this property.

Nanville is a beautiful house.

Well kept, clean and tidy and with all the comforts of home. All mod cons, very comfortable beds, in beautiful surroundings. Quiet and peaceful. My daughter and I had a wonderful week there recently. Laura the host couldn't do enough for us. A very kind and generous lady, even leaving a tray of snacks and a bottle of wine on our arrival. I would 100% recommend this property if you want a wonderful holiday in a lovely home in gorgeous surroundings.

Nanville is a beautiful, well-equipped, warm and cosy home in an ideal setting.

The owner is very friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us during my family's stay; thank you, Laura. Would thoroughly recommend.

It was an awesome house, very nicely furnished.

Great hosts, good and easy communication possible. We got a warm welcome with dog goodies and some sweets. Also great area to stay to explore a wide range in scotland up and down the coast, to see Loch Ness and Inverness but also great for whisky distillery tours.

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......

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

It's a shame that we cannot give Nanville six or more stars!

We have stayed in a number of holiday cottages over the years and Nanville is certainly one of the best. The cottage is in a great location, is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's also very dog friendly! Laura is a warm, welcoming and attentive host. We would highly recommend Nanville, and cannot wait to return there for another holiday.

We would 100% highly recommend this property.

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.

A beautiful cottage ,in stunning scenery.

Laura the owner, has thought of everything. Our family had a lovely time, sorry to leave as, the cottage is so comfortable.

The location of Nanville as the start point for several different tourist routes and the panoramic view from its front door make it an ideal holiday base.

The house itself is furnished to a high standard of comfort with several nice touches. The owners next door are very friendly and helpful. Nanville enabled us to have a very happy and relaxing holiday. We would warmly recommend a stay !

This property is stunning and the beds are the most comfortable that we have slept in during trips to Scotland.

The hosts were welcoming, kind and made the house feel like home. The views from the front garden were spectacular towards the Beauly Firth. This is a brilliantly placed house to travel to the West Coast and the Highland regions. There is plenty of amenities nearby to enjoy. Thank you for the warm welcome with our children. Our little dog loved the house, garden and there were lovely walks on the doorstep. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

A lovely holiday in a very comfortable cottage with everything we needed.

Laura made us feel very welcome, making our stay extra special.

It was a lovely house and we really enjoyed it.

Laura was very sweet and we lacked for nothing. We have seen a lot in the area (Ullapool, Nairn, Inverness, Loch Ness), but also loved doing nothing at times. That's what holidays are for. In retrospect, we would have liked to stay even longer.

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!

Lovely home for home house, has everything you need, had a great week here, with our 16year old son and our 2 yr old Labrador.

Laura is lovely and will do anything to help if needed. Would definitely return to this property.

We had a wonderful week staying at Nanville.

Laura and her family were so lovely and welcoming. Nanville was immaculately presented, with lots of lovely touches. Great location to explore all of the highlands. Close to Inverness but also in the countryside so the best of both worlds. The village of Beauly nearby has all the essentials you’ll need and is a quaint village to visit. We will definitely return.

The property was beautifully furnished, well equipped & very welcoming.

The fresh flowers & “goodies” were a nice touch. Bins & mirrors in the bedrooms would have been useful & a small bin in the kitchen for recycled items. A clothes airer would be useful during inclement weather Laura was very friendly & welcoming & nothing was too much trouble for her or her husband,Gavin. One thing which did disappoint was the Disney bench had gone - it was what had initially drawn our attention to the property. Over all excellent & we wish them every success.

Nanville is situated in a wonderful location with superb views across the countryside & the backdrop of the Beauly firth.

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. Can't recommend Nanville, it's views, it's locality & the properties facilties enough. A gem in the Highlands.

We had a wonderful stay here in this beautiful part of Scotland.

It's a lovely, well kept, clean cottage in such a peaceful and quiet location. Lots of outside space, dog loved it. Laura is an excellent host.

Nanville is an excellent cottage, well presented and with good facilities.

My wife and I thought that it was among the best two or three cottages we have rented of the 16 that we have taken over the last three years.

Laura our host couldn't have been more welcoming.

from start to finish it was an absolute pleasure.anything that we needed she was on hand to help .the cottage was lovely and very well kitted out .great comfy beds and nice decor .it's sittuatted in a great location in between beuley and Muir of ord.only a 15 minute drive from Inverness and loch Ness . Can't wait to return to this beautiful cottage

Great holiday at nanville cottage owner laura who lived next door was so nice and was always on hand to answer any questions that i had.

Very clean and comfortable cottage and had everything we needed. The views from the front of the cottage were lovely. Will definitely be booking again.
