About this property

Flooded with natural daylight, this fabulous, detached, Swiss-style lodge lies amidst fabulous count

Flooded with natural daylight, this fabulous, detached, Swiss-style lodge lies amidst fabulous countryside on the Black Isle peninsula, which is abundant in wildlife.. Moonshine Cottage is a delightful lodge situated in its own generous garden and grounds with stunning views over open farmland to the mountains beyond. Just a mile from the charming Black Isle village of Culbokie, it offers peace and seclusion yet within close proximity of good facilities. The main living area is open plan, and this stunning room, with its high vaulted ceiling, is superbly presented. The cathedral-style floor-to-ceiling windows drink in the amazing views and ensure it is light and bright. The furniture and furnishings have been chosen with every consideration to quality and detail.The large fully fitted kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and there is a separate utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and sink.
There is both a bathroom with a large 1.6 m bath to sooth aching joints after a ramble and shower room on the ground floor, which have been decorated with a ‘beach hut’ theme and are both unusual and charming.
Stairs lead up from the main room to the mezzanine landing. A wonderful chandelier light hangs from the ceiling and highlights the magnificent views.
There are two beautifully presented bedrooms, both with en suite toilet and wash basin. The double bedroom has a feature carved oak antique bedstead with sumptuously deep high-quality mattress. The twin room is prettily decorated with lovely colour co-ordinated soft furnishings and looks out across the grounds. Beyond lie the fields and hills up towards Glen Affric.

Moonshine Cottage
Great communication and interaction with owners and lovely that they live next door and could pop in and say hello. The welcome pack which included fresh eggs from their own hens was a wonderful touch The house itself is in a beautiful location - very peaceful and beautifully appointed - everything that was needed for a delightful holiday was to hand. The location was very rural - completely peaceful with a wonderful big vista - for us, a perfect location. We had the most relaxing and restful holiday and the location and wonderful property was certainly helpful in contributing to that. We would love to return in the future. Thank you Pam and Hughie our wonderful hosts for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your fabulous property in a truly wonderful part of the country.

Beautiful accommodation in a great but very private location - perfect for exploring the region.
Beautiful accommodation in a great but very private location - perfect for exploring the region. The lodge is comfortable, spacious and warm. Not at all cramped especially in wet weather. Great outdoor space and beautiful views. Perfect for a family of 4 and a pet. Very functional and well thought out accommodation. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Would definitely recommend and plan to stay again. If there was one thing to change, and it is not a major issue, it would be for a slightly bigger (king size) bed in the master bedroom.
