Tanera More was built as a fishermans cottage about 180 years ago and retains many original features. The situation on the shore of the Moray Firth makes it a delightful place to spend time simply admiring the views and the changing light over the sea. Great location for many outdoor activities. Walking, Cycling, Sailing, Birdwatching, Golf and horse riding can all be enjoyed locally. There are some excellent local museums for rainy days and good restaurants to be found in Fortrose, Munlochy and Cromarty. The highland capital of Inverness is only 10 miles away and boat cruises on Loch Ness are always popular. Ancient Pictish remains dot the landscape in this area which is mainly agricultural. It is a perfect gate way to the west coast for a day out to the Isle of Skye and the beauty of the more rugged west coast.

About Suzana Fry
.
Suzana Fry purchased this Cottage in 2014
Why Suzana Fry chose Avoch
Tanera More is the ideal "Highland cottage by the sea". The village of Avoch has always been a fishermans cove and the small harbour continues to support a small community of fisherman plus a new generation of pleasure trips to see the dolphins. This part of the Moray Firth enjoys a mild climate sheltered from the open seas by Channory Point, and the area is abundant in wild life. The Cairngorm mountains to the south are covered in snow during the winter months and lure out door enthusiasts. Local culture of legend and folklore are on the door step and intriguing Pictish remains dot the landscape. Sandy beaches are close by in Rosemarkie and there's golfing in Fortrose. It's the perfect holiday getaway, yet is only 10 miles from the amenities of Inverness.

Lovely place.
Super position of this property, particularly for twitchers. Quirky property but so practical and comfortable, you can imagine it being a fisherman's cottage. Also must mention the lovely welcome by Suzana, very friendly lady. The wine and flowers were most welcome and above and beyond.
Very well equipped & surprisingly spacious
We enjoyed a wonderful holiday in this delightful property - highly recommended with a double and a twin room - perfect for a family of 4 or like us, a nice quiet extended weekend away. All rooms are well equipped & the owner is very friendly & helpful.
Great location and lovely cottage
Thanks to Suzana for a great week staying at this delightful cottage. Lovely beach walks. Excellent location for birdwatchers. 5 mins from playpark for kids. We saw lots of dolphins both times we went to nearby Chanonry Point - a great experience! We also loved the nearby Rosemarkie community beach café.
Avoch in lovely
Wonderful time. The right place to relax. Great host. Shortbread
Wine really appreciated after a long drive.
very delightful little cottage
This was our first trip to Scotland after visiting our son and family in Sheffield.
Suzana was an amazing host, meeting us personally to show us around, her delightful little cottage. Everything was provided we could possibly need, and we were greeted with fresh flowers, a bottle of wine and Scottish shortbread. It was very quiet and private and we really enjoyed the historical little town of Avoch, and most especially discovering that Alexandre Mackenzie was buried here as the kids had studied him just this past year (as we are Canadian. Walks along the beach, and we explored around the Black Isle.
Lovely and we hope to be back another time. And, we forgot something and Suzana mailed it to us promptly (no charge!!) so appreciated.
Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.
Very comfortable & welcoming cottage situated just feet from the water. Perfect for exploring the Black Isle with its fantastic scenery & wildlife, one of the highlights being the dolphins at Chanonry Point. Will certainly stay here again in the future.
