Beautiful, well-equipped cottage in lovely rural location

Very straightforward check-in, beautiful farm cottage in amongst farmland with fantastic facilities. Excellent kitchen with many utensils and large solid wood dining table. We really enjoyed our stay. The walk through the edge of the woods down to the stony beach is a must - we collected loads of groatie buckies!

Wonderful Cottage and Location in Superb Setting

We had a marvellous short stay at 3 Tarrel Farm - very well kitted-out and nicely finished amidst farmland with walks on your doorstep. Tain and Dornoch are close by along with many other great locations. Cannot recommend highly enough for a quiet location and we shall definitely be returning for a longer stay. Many thanks, Arabella.

Perfectly situated cottage

Very few neighbours but extremely helpful und nice! The cottage is situated very calmly but there is plenty to explore in its neighbourhood such as the pictish trail, the lighthouse, the viewpoint (we saw dolphins) and of corse Glenmorangie, Balblair and Dornoch!

Nice cottage.

Didn’t realise it was on a working farm, quite a way from the beach.Not easy to walk the dogs and I wrongly thought the garden was fenced in. The cottage itself was very roomy and well equipped.

Sehr ruhig gelegenes Cottage weit weg von der Zivilisation

Das Häuschen bietet echt alles was man braucht um sich selber zu verpflegen liegt abseits der Orte und Straßen auf einem bewirtschafteten Hof Die Matratzen waren besonders für meinen Mann der Horror und die Heizung in den Bädern ließ sich nicht drosseln. Aber all dies wurde bereits beschrieben Dringend wichtig ist zu wissen, dass es dort nur ganz begrenzte Möglichkeiten gibt mit dem Hund spazieren zu gehen Man sollte es sich auf einer Karte genau ansehen denn zum Ort muss man über eine stark befahrene Straße laufen oder den Küstenweg der sehr verwildert und verwachsen ist ( 1 Strecke bis portmahomack = 6 km mit ungefähr 2 Stunden) Zum nächsten Ort um Brot zu besorgen mal eben recht schwer Für unsere Bedürfnisse mit Hund und vielen Spaziergängen zu unbefriedigend ansonsten hatten wir eine gute Zeit

Tarrel Farm Cottages

Overall brilliant holiday fantastic location both cottage and area. The scottish hospitality, scenery and food was amazing, the only downside was that there were lots of cobwebs in the cottage and the mattresses need replacing, we all ended up with bad backs, by the end of the week as they no longer provided any support.

On line instructions to find property were very poor, difficulty working key safe.

Access road very poor.Property very well equiped but creeking floor boards on stairs and top floor drove us mad. Impossible to turn off heated towel rails without turning boiler off completly, like a sauna in both bathrooms. We will not stay there again.
