Upstairs there is a family room with one double bed and 2 single beds. On request we can provide a travel cot, stair gate and high chair for families who require them. Osprey has a walk in shower and a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering. The cottages have free WiFi and there is excellent 4G reception in the area.
We are enthusiastic about our local area, the Black Isle, and would like to welcome you to use the Longhouse Cottages as an ideal base for exploring the immediate area, with opportunities for bird and wildlife spotting, visits down a steep winding cliff path to the secluded beach, and walking in well established and regenerating woodland. There are Highland cows and Hebridean sheep in the fields close by, with great photo opportunities.
A great place to get away from it all and spend some time in nature, the Longhouse Cottages are situated in a secluded area of the Black Isle in the Highlands of Scotland, with magnificent views over the Moray Firth, home to the famous resident population of Bottlenose Dolphins. The property is situated near the world-famous dolphin spotting site at Chanonry Point. Stunning views of both the historical Fort George across the Moray Firth and Chanonry Point can be seen from the Longhouse Cottages. There are excellent local restaurants and shops in the nearby villages of Cromarty, Rosemarkie and Fortrose.

About the host
Hosted by Host
We take pride in providing quality holiday accommodation that meets and exceeds the expectations of our guests. Although in a rural area, benefitting from nature, peace and tranquillity, we're not far from the bright lights of Inverness, the capital of the Highlands (less than 30minutes by car) so are conveniently located for short breaks. We welcome diversity and especially embrace the foreign visitors who have managed to find their way to our unique corner of Scotland!
