This is a quiet and clean property 5-6 miles outside of Inverness where the closest restaurants are located. There was plenty of room for our family of 6 with good kitchen and dining facilities. It has a beautiful yard where you can wander after a busy day.

We had a fabulous and memorable time staying in the suite at Old Drynie House !
The location of the beautiful home with large mature trees overlooking the Moray Firth and managed lawns made for a relaxing stay. Access to Inverness is very easy although the home lies in a peaceful environment and only a short drive to the Dolphin watching site at Chanonry Point. Views across the Firth are to Fort George with its impressive battlement walls.
