Girls’ trip

Wonderful cottage with great proximity to the Highlands. We had such a lovely time and would certainly stay again if we make it back to Scotland (which we hope to do!). HIGHLY recommend!

The Scottish climate prevailed with 4 seasons in 1 day but our American guests were unphased and nothing stopped them exploring the Highlands. Wonderful guests and looked after the cottage admirably ‘haste ye back’

Amazing property, fabulous place

We had a wonderful holiday in Helen and Kenny’s cottage and their excellent hosting was the icing on the cake. The cottage is so spacious but feels warm and cozy at the same time, and is beautifully furnished and well equipped. Rosemarie is a great place to stay for a holiday, so many interesting and beautiful places in easy reach and plenty of things to do locally if you fancy g

Better Than Five-Star

If I could give more stars, I would. Kincurdie Cottage was so clean and comfortable, and so nicely decorated, it was a pleasure to stay there. The location was perfect, with beautiful grounds. The ocean and a nice beach were so close, plus Fortrose (with some nice shops) only a 20-minute walk away. We probably didn't drive out as much as we could have, because we enjoyed walking around the area so much. Communication with Kenny & Helen was great, as was the welcome basket they supplied. This is a very special place!

Amazing

We had the most amazing 3 night break away ! When you drive up the road to the cottage it takes your breath away. The views over the bay from the bedroom are priceless. The cottage is gorgeous and the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed in. The children enjoyed using the tennis rackets on the courts on the beach. We didn’t unfortunately manage to spot the dolphins after morning and evening attempts but we spotted many seals which was still a magical experience. We absolutely loved are stay and Kenny and Helen were absolutely fantastic hosts. You will not be disappointed with this hidden gem.

It was a pleasure having the Hills Family stay at our cottage and look after it and treat it as though it was their own. They are welcome back anytime and hopefully they will be back to see the dolphins

Wonderful stay at Kincurdie Cottage

This holiday property is a home away from home, just upgraded to 5 star. It is spacious, comfortable, fitted with all the latest appliances and situated in the most beautiful rural setting, with the sea 5 minutes walk away. Kenny and Helen were helpful, kind and engaging. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in their property.

Lovely property , ideal location

Extremely well equipped, comfortable and cozy property, excellent location to the nearby beach and amenities. Owner was able to assist with wine and beer purchase beforehand which was an absolute bonus. The property was in a very quiet location and its great to be able to walk to the beach in under ten minutes. Plenty of places nearby to visit with just a short drive or walk. Would definitely recommend this holiday property.

Rosemarkie Gem

Kincurdie Cottage, which sits on a secluded elevated site overlooking the Moray Firth, has been beautifully refurbished with high quality fixtures and fittings and offers a very spacious and central location for exploring the Black Isle and surrounding areas. We found the quality of housekeeping to be excellent and soft furnishings to be of the same high standard as the fixtures. You will never feel isolated as Kenny C is always available on 'WhatsApp'.

Amazing!

From our initial enquiries through to our departure the owners were so helpful and thoughtful. The cottage is extremely comfortable with everything you need and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. The gift for our grandson was such a surprise too. While the weather was mixed we were still able to explore the area and there are many beautiful beaches and interesting walks. All made for a delightful week in the area and we will definitely make a return visit to the cottage.

Superb

We had a fabulous time in this beautiful cottage. On arrival, wine chilling in the fridge along with a wonderful selection of goodies, we were instantly at home. Totally faultless and flawless....a real treat. Location was ideal for access to Rosemarkie beach and an ideal base for touring our beautiful Highlands. Thank you to Kenny and Helen for making our stay truly memorable ❤.

Great location. Excellent property

Really great experience throughout. Excellent communication with host in advance. Very thoughtful welcome pack on arrival. Immaculate property on a quiet, private estate by the sea. Great location for exploring the Black Isle. Right by Chanonry Point where we saw the dolphins every day. Really couldn't fault a single thing. Thoroughly recommend.

Hi Jacqui - thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed our cottage and also managed to get out and experience some of our local sites and delights. Our school of bottlenose dolphins are precious to the local community and something we really love to share with visitors to the area. We hope to see you again!
