Balorrin
ideal location with all peace and quite you may require to relax very spacious and extremely well heated with plenty of hot water and well equiped kitchen facilities.However several problem that if rectified would enhance the holiday experience,ie the main shower leaked from head joint,the shower screen was broken and did not shut properly allowing water to escape on to floor a major slip hazard and the shower itself had several traces of mould around the joints.The garden was excellent but the outdoor table and chairs needed replacing as the ones supplied were old mouldy and neglected did not dare sit on them as I am not a small person Also on arrival there were no oven gloves provided a must for self caterers like ourselves and only one tea towel there were no indications as to where these items were to be found.The main lounge rug was threadbare and worn and detracted from what could have been an impressive space Nearest shopping is either Dingwall or Inverness Apart from the stated problems our holiday was very relaxing and enjoyable. With a few repairs and replacements this cottage would be the ideal location for anyone wanting a get away from modern busy living (if only for a week)

Great place to stay around Inverness.
This home is everything you wish for when you want to stay around Inverness. The house is comfortable, quiet, nice beds, fully equiped kitchen, washing machine (very welcom with 3 kids) and a great garden. It is well centered, nearest big supermarket only 15 minutes drive, 30 minutes for Inverness. There are 2 bikes available and there is a nice walking path which starts directly besides the house.
