  • "Had another wonderful and relaxing time at Lilac Cottage."

    Weather was good. Out walking most days with the dogs. I would highly recommended Poolewe Tuesday Market. Have visited on a few occasions. It is about 1 and a half hours drive from the cottage. The river walk is also lovely for the dogs and takes you into the hills. Beautiful scenery. Have already booked for next year.

  • "The cottage was perfectly placed for us to complete the NC500."

    The cottage was in a quiet location, and the fact there was off road parking was perfect. We had an issue with the heating, but that was sorted out very quickly and fixed but we were also given logs, firelighters and electric heaters incase there were any other issues. The garden was perfect for dog to safely run around in. We will definitely be returning to Lilac cottage in the future.

    It is in a very peaceful location, which was the main reason we booked it. It would benefit from a little TLC in areas but as a base to explore the Highlands, it is a little gem!

  • "Lilac cottage is the perfect getaway, and it is beautifully presented, clean, spacious and has a secure garden which was adored my my assistance dog."

    The double mattress is worn out - hard, lumpy and has lost all its loft so that the buttons stick up, and that caused a lot of pain for me that really impacted my holiday. I have a disability, so it is bound to be a bigger problem for me though... My other half found it uncomfortable but not painful, and was able to sleep. There was no visitor book with info on the house, or a guest book for us to read recommendations from previous guests. The kitchen is a lovely place to cook and eat, having a little freezer is a bonus, but it would have been useful to know in advance that, unlike most holiday lets, there were no consumables whatsoever - we came with our own tea, coffee, milk, sandwich bags and general food supplies as we usually do, but this was the first place we have stayed where there was no salt, pepper, oil, bin bags, washing up liquid, soap etc. In most respects lilac cottage is an absolute gem, in the perfect location for a Highland getaway.

    The only downside of the Cottage is when you are there for 1 week and you only get 1 bath towel to last you for you're full week. We will definitely be back.

    The beds were comfortable and the lounge area was perfect for relaxing in the evening. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was handy having a washing machine. The garden was big and the local area was quiet, so it felt peaceful. The location is perfect for exploring the Highlands.

    Disappointed to find oven was dirty. A welcome book with information in would have been good ie how the tv works, heating controls and local amenities and visitor attraction leaflets where well out of date. Wifi signal was good but again the password card was on the iPod dock, this is the type of info that would go in the welcome book! Local area is lovely and it's well positioned to explore the area.

    We enjoyed our stay and all the accommodation was perfect. Loved the location as there were some lovely walks not far from the cottage. We could reach Loch Ness, Ben Nevis and many more impressive places and towns easily. Our main reason for booking this cottage was to go on very long walks and this was fore filled.

    This was the 4th visit. Weather was mixed, which had been expected, but managed to get out with the dogs in the car most days. I found the cottage very comfortable and cozy. Had the log burner on a few nights. I love the new higher fence for privacy and dogs were very secure. Did a few trips to Tesco for some additional food, which is only 10 minutes away from the cottage. The only negative thing was that new pillows would be great for the double bedroom, The current pillows are very flat. Other than that nothing else. I am going to book for next year, as it was one of the most relaxing holiday I have had in a long time.

  • "I stayed at this lovely cosy cottage for a few weeks over Christmas and New Year with possibly the worst weather for years and had a fabulous time."

    The hosts were kind and friendly and, though not intrusive, were on hand to help me out or provide additional advice or requests whenever needed. With sub-zero temperatures and 15" of snow at one point which lasted for several days I took advantage of the log fire which heated up the whole cottage in no time! If I'd been out walking for the day, though the central heating was on a generous set of programmes, clicking the manual switch ensured almost instant warmth while the kettle boiled! As I was by myself I didn't play with the range of games provided, but I did enjoy the Christmas decorations supplied, as well as the lovely basket of goodies which kept me going for my entire stay. Signing in to the Smart TV was also easy and as it was dark by 4pm provided plenty of entertainment in the evenings. There was lovely countryside to walk in from the front door and though located in a lovely quiet village, seemingly miles from anywhere, Strathpeffer and the cafes and shops, and Dingwall the nearest large town were only minutes away. I found the cottage very clean and cheerful on arrival and easy to keep clean for when I left again. The garden was a very generous size and a good safe area for children and dogs alike to play. I had to pop back a couple of weeks after I left to pick up a parcel that had been mistakenly left there from Amazon and found the cottage had been redecorated and had some new furnishings, which had been on the plan for when I vacated it - it looked lovely. There's generous car parking for families and visitors and I found all the local supermarkets did home deliveries to the village too. There was a Visitor's Book with lovely comments going back several years, many from repeat guests, to which I added my 5* review. I have no hesitation in recommending Lilac Cottage to anyone.

    No logs provided as starter pack for an unemptied,uncleaned stove.No welcome pack as was present for previous guests as shown in visitors book.Cleaning not in-depth as evidenced by pet hairs behind sofa cushions, greasy extractor in kitchen,grubby skirtings,cobwebby corners and hearth,pet waste from previous guest pets in garden,untidy and cluttered utility room.Inadequate storage in kitchen,frozen food left in freezer,one cupboard for foodstuffs.little instruction for facilities aside from a few small booklets buried under items in drawer.TV difficult to operate and we had to buy handset batteries as they were dead.Wardrobes would be useful as mentioned by previous guests and twin bed matresses were noisy and uncomfortable as if built from card.Very little in the way of books and tourist info out of sight in games box.Doorway from porch to hall would merit a safety sign on the porch side as heads were bashed several times.All in all the cottage functions as a holiday home but overall impression is that the owners may not be present regularly so are unaware of any issues.Some of the above are mentioned in the visitors book some time ago and clearly not acted upon.Decor very nice but I feel that more attention to comfort and facilities would be appropriate.I hate to leave a review like this but you should be able to expect a certain standard,especially as Sykes rate the property Excellent with 5 ticks.Once yuo have paid your money and travelled it is too late to turn back. Whatever the response to any of the above may be, the fact remains that the issues do exist and could be remedied

    Double bedroom smelled faintly of dog. The hoover gave off a cloud of dog odour as soon as it was switched on. I was tempted to see if there was a dog still trapped inside. This didn't bother us but could be relevant to anyone with asthma or allergies.

    On a dull and wet afternoon the cottage was very welcoming, being warm, very clean and a lovely box of sweets which was a nice touch. We had everything that we needed and enjoyed very relaxed and comfortable evenings throughout our stay, despite every day being pretty dull and mostly damp. The drying room was particularly appreciated on a daily basis. The wood burning stove was lovely and made the evenings even more comfortable. Lilac Cottage was a lovely base for us to explore amazing places in the area, from Culloden to The Applecross Pass. We would definitely stay again, hopefully in the near future. Was also perfect for our two dogs who relaxed from the outset and enjoyed the walks around Strathpeffer

    It had everything you could need for a lovely break in the highlands and if we head back there, which is very likely, we’d definitely want to stay there again. It’s well located for access to all the major tourist sites, and it’s just as easy to head west as east. We explored Ullapool and Loch Gairloch from here comfortably. On our first night I opened the back door to see the stars and sat listening to an owl in the trees nearby. The stars on the last evening were spectacular, you could almost touch them.

    It's a warm and comfortable cottage which is adequately equipped. It was clean and tidy on our arrival and the provision of bread, cake and other goodies was most welcome. The garden is secure and our dogs loved it. Beware the road outside the cottage, although in a 30mph area, a lot of vehicles seem to ignore it and drive past at some speed, especially those coming down the hill. The track across the road is good for dog walking and leads to a sawmill and walks through the woods, again much enjoyed by the dogs. Lilac Cottage is well located for touring the area and within walking distance of Strathpeffer, an interesting Victorian Spa.

The property

Strathpeffer 1 mile.

A charming, stone-built cottage, situated in a quiet hamlet close to the famous Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer.

This deceptively spacious Strathpeffer cottage offers up-to-date facilities and is ideal for a family or group of friends who want to enjoy this beautiful part of the Scottish Highlands.

With the accommodation all on one level, apart from a small step up to the shower room and kitchen, this Highlands cottage has two nicely presented bedrooms and a tasteful sitting room with welcoming woodburner, making it a fabulous place to relax at the end of a busy day.

The well-equipped kitchen/diner benefits from having a door leading out to the pretty front garden where guests can relax with a quiet drink while dinner cooks!

Although quietly situated, the spa village of Strathpeffer is close by and offers a choice of venues for dining, some lively pubs and a busy village shop, plus during the summer months the local pipe band play to entertain visitors.

The area has much to offer visitors with an abundance of cycle paths and fabulous walks, as well as fishing in the rivers close by or a round of golf at the Spa Golf Club.

By car, visit the pretty Black Isle villages, see dolphins jumping in the Moray Firth and explore the wonderful beaches at Nairn.

This Strathpeffer cottage is a super holiday base.

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.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
  • Last minute
  • Christmas
