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.

Reviews

Jane the owner is the nicest person you could wish to meet helpful and only a phone call away should you have a problem, cottage is warm and welcoming enclosed garden is big enough for dog's to have a run around just be weary of the pheasant who came to check around the bird feeder each evening, location is fantastic for visiting the black isle and surrounding area.

All in all, a lovely cottage with lovely clean, bright and airy rooms. The rooms are lovely and light and comfy beds with modern kitchen and bathroom. A lovely big secure garden for our dog who loved it! The kitchen could do with some more saucepans as not enough to cook a roast dinner with it. The heating certainly did its job too as was very cold when we arrived. It could do with some up to date maps and guides on the local area too. All in all a lovely cottage with lots to do/walks around the area.

Booked for base for holiday to see family. Excellent and comfortable cottage in a quite area. Plenty of room and pictures do not really do justice to the size, accommodation and features of the cottage. Would certainly be high for consideration for a return visit.

Stayed 5 nights 22nd December to 27th December. The cottage was lovely and Jane nd husband Kenny were most welcoming. The cottage was like home so charmingly decorated in my taste and had everything one would require. Log burner was brilliant what a heat and I became an expert in that field lol. The scenery roundabout is lovely and the tranquillity so so nice. It is a good one nd half mike walk into strathpeffer fine during day but in dark as rifle walk pavement on man busy road one has to be careful and very alert. Although we walked it quite a lot . My dog loved the safe garden and walks down by the river etc . People so friendly .We had a fantastic time could have stayed longer also weather was great for that time of year, will definitely be back

The cottage perfectly met our expectations. We found plenty of room and felt really at home during our one week stay. The facilities were comfortable and the TV/WiFi worked great. The fireplace was well prepared and on that one cold evening it generated a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Loved the garden size, our retriever thoroughly enjoyed having so much space. The style, cleanliness and position of the cottage were perfect for a relaxing holiday.

Rated by Mrs Burns reviewed on 16th May 2016

Lilac Cottage was cosy, comfortable and welcoming. The position of the cottage is ideal for touring and exploring East and West Ross-Shire and there are great walks right on the doorstep. The owner was very helpful and made us feel welcome. We had a very relaxing short break and would be very happy to return to the cottage in the future.

Lilac Cottage was cosy, very comfortable and spotless. The owner was very friendly and the garden was enclosed and dog friendly and there are plenty of places to walk the dogs.

Rated by Mrs Webster reviewed on 2nd August 2015

The cottage was cosy and snug with a large garden for the dogs, and the birds kept us entertained over breakfast, so much so we had to buy a supply of nuts for them. Lilac Cottage is situated close enough to most attractions in the area with a large area of off road parking.

There was lots to do plenty and of good walks for the dogs. Will be booking again next year. Thanks.

We loved Lilac Cottage and the location was perfect. We could walk into town and the scenery was beautiful.

Rated by Mrs Welsh reviewed on 2nd August 2014

We received a friendly greeting. There was a bottle of wine, a box of cakes and a packet of doggy treats for our pets. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. There was a large fenced in garden for our pets. This is the best cottage we have rented.

Rated by Mrs Matthews reviewed on 6th July 2014

The cottage was in a lovely location and ideal for different days out.

Rated by Mr Parker reviewed on 31st May 2014

Fantastic cottage, really well decorated and very comfortable. The garden was great for the dogs. during the brief spells we sat outside. It's a very peaceful spot but not far from so much beautiful mountains, coast and forests. Would highly recommend, best cottage we've stayed in!
