Om overnatningsstedet
19. århundrede Millers Cottage med fantastisk udsigt, smukt renoveret.
Et smukt møller fra det 19. århundrede, der ligger i sin egen store have med en fantastisk udsigt over Cromarty Firth. I vores familie i over 50 år og tilgængelig fra maj 2020. For nylig renoveret interiør med 4 soveværelser med dobbeltsenge, 3 badeværelser, fuldt udstyret stort køkken og spiseplads, separat vaskerum / spisestue, meget stor stue med åben kamin, TV-stue. 500 meter fra vores andre 5-stjernede lejebolig. Ideel til familiegrupper, der besøger Skotlands højland.
Vi har været Homeaway-værter i flere år, i Skotland og i London, og har nu tilføjet dette familiehus til vores 5-stjernede klassificerede lister.
Huset ligger i sin egen store have med åbne marker foran og en lille træ og sø bag, ca. 1 km fra landsbyen Evanton. Det har en fantastisk udsigt foran ned over Cromarty Firth og bagud til Fyrish Hill med dens berømte monument. Black Rock Gorge, der er optaget i Harry Potter og Goblet of Fire, ligger kun 10 minutters gang fra hotellet.
Sovepladser: Sommerhuset er ideelt egnet til store familiegrupper og sover op til 10 gæster. Det har to store soveværelser i stueetagen (et med king size seng, et med to enkeltsenge, der kan flyttes sammen), et komplet badeværelse med separat bruser og badekar, og et andet badeværelse med stort brusebad. Ovenpå er der yderligere to soveværelser (et med dobbeltseng, et med to enkeltsenge, der kan flyttes sammen), et badeværelse med badekar og toilet og et tv-stue med en dobbelt sovesofa. Alt sengelinned og håndklæder leveres.
Det store køkken og spiseplads er fuldt udstyret til 10 gæster med service, bestik, opvaskemaskine, te og kaffe osv. Fra køkkenet er der et vaskerum med vaskemaskine og separat tørretumbler. Det vigtigste køkkenvindue kigger ud mod baghaven, hvor du ofte kan se hjorte og fasaner, mens du spiser din morgenmad
Den store stue løber hele hyttens længde med en smuk gammel sten åben pejs i den ene ende. En glasdør fører ud til den forreste græsplæne, hvor du kan nyde de lange sommeraftener.
Sommerhuset har alle de bekvemmeligheder, du kan forvente: hårtørrer, strygejern og strygebræt, tv, wifi. Og gæsterne finder også et udvalg af udetøj til deres brug i verandaen: vandtætte frakker, vandresko og støvler.
Sommerhuset ligger 25 minutters kørsel nord for Inverness. Gæster har virkelig brug for deres eget køretøj, da hytten ligger 1. 5 km ad bakke uden for centrum af landsbyen Evanton og de nærmeste butikker og det lokale busstoppested.
Den nærmeste lufthavn er Inverness (INV), der betjenes af EasyJet- og British Airways-flyvninger fra London og en daglig KLM-flyvning fra Amsterdam. Den nærmeste hovedbanestation er Inverness, med sovende tog natten over fra London Euston Station. Lejebiler er tilgængelige begge steder. Det er en 35-40 minutters kørsel fra lufthavnen / stationen til hytten.
Edinburgh (EDI) lufthavn, der har mange flere fly, er en smuk 3 1/2 times kørsel op gennem Cairngorms. Aberdeen (ABZ) lufthavn er 3 timer (men på en meget mindre behagelig vej).

We really enjoyed our stay at Balavoulin. It is very spacious, beautifully renovated, clean, and has all the amenities - dishwasher, washer-dryer etc. It's clear this is a well loved family home with lots of character. There are loads of walking trails nearby to explore which made a nice change from our Edinburgh walk-up! Wish we could stay longer.

Don't hesitate, book this stay!
I cannot say enough about Piers and his amazing cottage in Evanton. The house is adorable, the views from each window are amazing, and our host, Piers, was very attentive. This house has everything you need. It's tucked away for plenty of privacy, but close enough to town to get food and visit the local shops. I highly recommend the Scottish Breakfast at Batty's Baps in Dingwall. And at the end of your day of travels, you can head back to the cottage and play cards while warming by the fireplace in the family room. The beds are comfy, and the kitchen is well supplied for all types of cooking. We will certainly stay here again when in the area :)

This was the perfect place for a peaceful, quite, slowed down holiday. It was a great contrast from being in the middle of St. Andrews or Edinburg. This is the country and we loved it.
We had some home cooked meals and some cozy game nights by the fire.
This made a fabulous home base while we explored the west coast highlands and played some golf.
I would highly recommend this spot to anyone interested in some time in the country. It is not unlikely that I will be back, I'm dreaming of it at least!

Lovely, peaceful home near Inverness
Balavoulin House is a beautiful, updated centuries-old home close to Inverness and Black Isle. The house has a fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need, three modern bathrooms and four comfortable bedrooms. The views from the house are stunning and you feel like you are in a little paradise away from the hustle and bustle. The Coop in Evanston had everything we needed and we often visited the nearby Storehouse for lunches and afternoon teas. Dornoch and Ullapool were an hour or so away and must visit. Piers was a delightful and attentive host and we would be so happy to have the opportunity to visit again in the future. Many thanks for your hospitality, Piers!

House and location could hardly be better. Greatest communication with the owner. Excellent base for day trips (Spey side area, east coast, west coast) and nice local hikes (we went up to the Fyrish twice to enjoy the fantastic view). The house is perfectly equipped (even a salad spinner!) and we loved sitting outside in the beautiful garden with view to the black island. We only had a week which was way too short. Would love to come back!

Om værten
Vært: Piers Cumberlege
This is a relatively recent listing for another family property that we have renovated following the departure of a family friend tenant, joining the two others that have all been in our family for generations. These are our personal homes, and we love welcoming leisure and business travellers in each location, when we ourselves are away. The reviews will show you that we really do want to offer you a homelike experience in a place with nice family furniture, our own books and belongings - not an impersonal letting property.
Our whole family have been described as global nomads, having lived and travelled extensively around the world. We have long experience of and affection for emerging economies, in which we have lived, studied, invested and done business.
Although it may sound a bit corny, the notion of lifelong learning is strong for us all - probably the closest thing to a motto, along with a strong focus on values and human dignity. We welcome all people here, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, dis/ability, etc.
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
Ideal for family groups visiting the Highlands of Scotland, and fully equipped for staycations/Work From Home)
A beautiful 19th century miller's cottage, standing in its own large garden with stunning views over Cromarty Firth. In our family for over 50 years. Fully renovated interior with 4 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, fully equipped large kitchen and dining area, separate laundry room/larder, very large sitting room with open fireplace, TV room with sofa bed. 500 metres from our other 5 star rental cottage.
Several wonderful varied walks right next to the cottage to keep you exercised during your stay - here are just some examples! Along the Glass River from the Black Rock Gorge down to Evanton village (1 hour round trail - mainly flat); Up the top of Fyrish hill and the Monument (2 1/2 hours round trail - steady climb); along the shore of Loch Glass (30 minutes to 3 hours - mostly flat); along the shore of Cromarty Firth from Kiltearn Church (45 minutes - gentle flat stroll).
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
Situated on the famous North Coast 500 route, we are ideally placed as a base to explore the Highlands. Just twenty kilometres north of Inverness and the amenities of the city, but the pleasure of the country, with easy access to Loch Ness itself.
Deer, stoats, pheasants, woodpeckers are among regular visitors in the cottage garden (as you can see from the photos of deer taken on 30 June 2020). Balavoulin is a rural cottage and surrounded by beautiful flower gardens so on occasion, and despite our best efforts, a stray bug, spider, or other nature-loving creature may wander inside, especially if a door is left open.
Note that the cottage itself is a 25 minute walk from shops in the centre of Evanton village - it is not really practical to stay here without your own vehicle.
A beautiful road leads off to the West Coast and the Isle of Skye. Or head up the East Coast right to the tip of Great Britain.
Evanton also has some of its own features: • Fyrish Monument. This is the stone ruin you can see on top of the nearest hill. It represents the gates of Negapatam in India and was built in 1782 by General Sir Hector Munro, a local landowner, in order to provide employment for local people. There is a path up to the monument on the other side of the hill.
• The Black Rock Gorge, just 1/2 km further up the Glenglass Road, is a very deep and narrow natural river gorge. It is a rather spooky place and was used for filming one of the scenes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
• Ben Wyvis is a small mountain (big for Scotland) between Evanton and Dingwall to the north. It is a Nature Reserve and can be walked. Despite only being 1000 metres high, some parts of the mountain have snow all year round.
There are also many great places to walk just in the nearby countryside and guests will find links to trails we and others have loaded onto Wikiloc in the house manual.
