About the host

Hosted by Carol Jeffrey

Host profile image
Carol and Graham Jeffrey were excited to take over ownership of the Boathouse in 2021. It has been in Carol's family since her grandparents bought it in 1971 and has provided very many happy family holidays over the years. They are looking forward to spending more time in the beautiful Black Isle and sharing their cottage with their guests who they hope enjoy it as much as they do.

Why they chose this property

The cottage itself is comfortable and relaxing and makes a great base for exploring the local area, but the best thing is definitely the location and stunning views over the Moray Firth, Fort George across the Firth and out towards the North Sea.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable cottage which has just been comfortably and tastefully refurbished.
With the Moray Firth just out the window there always something to look at out to sea, from wild water swimmers to seals.
Short walk along the beach to Chanonry Lighthouse, which is the best place on mainland Scotland to see Dolphins.
Quaint village with nice cafes and scenic walks close by. Cottage is on the edge of the village so it is very peaceful.
Golf course 5 minutes walk away.
