If you like solitude and the countryside, as we do, then this cottage is perfect. Just a short journey from Beauly yet so quiet and peaceful. The beds are comfortable and cozy as are the chairs and sofa in the living room. While the kitchen is small it is well equipped. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden admiring the wonderful views and watching the sheep wandering by.

A cottage in a beautiful location by the forest on a mountain. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you - apart from the wind and a few sheep, you won't hear a thing. Unfortunately, I couldn't admire the starry sky as it was cloudy at night.The furnishings are simple but cosy, nothing is missing.We had a very nice time and would love to come back.

Stunningly remote

We used Moalnaceap Cottage as both a base for exploring the Highlands and as a cozy retreat in itself for our honeymoon. It's a fantastic, well-maintained property with charm and privacy. We adored our time in Crash of Aigas and are already planning a return trip!

Wondeful, Unique and Silent

Wonderful stay in the most unique location. The silence in the evenings was second to none, great walks in the forest (are these old mountain bike tracks?) amazing wildlife (golden eagle spotted) and most interesting historical area. Deli in Beauly was delish!
