About this property

Peaceful Highland cottage sleeping 6 in comfort

The house is let as a whole, with one double and two twin bedrooms. There is a large, well-equipped kitchen and dining room with a lovely open plan sitting room with a log stove. There is a new hard tennis court you can use, and fishing is often available during May, June & July.
Dalmigavie lies at 1100 ft, and is surrounded by miles of empty 'Monahdliath Mountains'. There is a long track from the house up the glen and then into the hills. During the Spring when birds are nesting, we ask guests to avoid walking on the open hill, especially with dogs. Almost every British bird of prey has been seen at Dalmigavie. David and Lorna Paton, look after everything at Dalmigavie, and have been there for 18 years. They live in a cottage close by.

Dalmigavie is 6 miles off the A9 near Tomatin. It is 40 minutes from Inverness airport, and 20 minutes from the station at Carrbridge. Two hours from Edinburgh. A car is needed, and the last 100m to the house is up a steep vehicular track. There are several good golf courses in the vicinity. The coast is 45 minutes away. The weather can be wild and cold, or warm and balmy, sometimes on successive days!

House rules: No dogs allowed in the house accept by prior arrangement. No smoking.
Dogs to be kept on leads outside (sheep, deer, red squirrels) and nesting birds in the Spring - woodcock, curlew, oyster catchers, green plovers, grouse, amongst others.

Please treat the house, grounds, river and hills with care and respect. Once you cross our bridge over the river Findhorn into Dalmigavie estate you enter a little world of your own.


If you enjoy fishing, you can take a day or two of salmon fishing on 4 miles of the Findhorn at Dalmigavie at a cost of £55 per day. Rods are not provided. Let us know in advance in case it is already booked. We can take up to 4 rods at a time.

Spectacular view

Very cozy place with a spectacular view of the valley. Nice and quiet with deer roaming the property. Close enough to Inverness but far enough in the countryside to relax.

Perfect stay!

We couldn't have better things to say about this property. The drive in is a little tricky and small but beautiful. Goats everywhere, deer at dusk, peasants. It was the best. The cottage was comfy and cozy, we each had our own bathrooms which was so nice after staying in cramped hotels during our trip. We want to come again in a few years and highly recommend!

This property was simply amazing. The house has a lived in, homey feel and the views are breathtaking. We had a heard of local deer right outside our windows in the morning, and the property gives lots of opportunities for exploration with fishing and bikes right on the premises. We definitely hope to be back to this property in the future!

Wonderful Stay

Stayed for three days to get away from it all and this place met all of our expectations. Surrounded by beautiful countryside right on the Findhorn river, nature all around us. Had the most relaxing time. The house is large but cozy, comfortable in every way, the bed we slept in, in the main room was the most comfortable I have ever slept in so had a good restful sleep. Host was lovely, discreet, and helpful. We would love to come back again.

The house was cozy, warm, and big enough to spread out in. And it’s situated on a beautiful property - just gorgeous and so inviting for exploring. The owner came up to meet us the night we arrived - very nice and accommodating.

Lovely cottage in a great location

Me, my wife and two small children (2 and 4) had a lovely time in the Keeper's cottage – the perfect size for a family of four set in a beautiful location with everything we needed for our long weekend away. The log fire was delightful (and well stocked with coal and wood) and the surroundings of the cottage were idyllic. Would definitely stay again!
