Great stay

We spent a wonderful week at Fruachan Cottage. We often went hiking for a very long time and were very happy to come back to the cosy cottage in the evening. Pure relaxation and deceleration! The communication with Fiona was very good.

We loved this property!

we loved this cottage and the facilities fore guests to use. The views are stunning with changing weather conditions., and daily visits from the dear were fabulous. my granddaughters loved that part and played monopoly & hide and seek in the cottage daily. Dornoch Beach is a must visit, as it is stunning and the rock pools were explored thoroughly. I would love to be here for the winter with a roaring fire and provisions and a few good books, not moving to go anywhere. Lairg does not have much to offer as far as eating out is concerned, although not needed when you have the facilities all here in this cottage.

We LOVED our stay at this cottage! It was so beautiful and picturesque, exactly as shown. A great place to unwind and enjoy the quiet. We did a couple of short day trips so even though it was remote it was a good spot to spring off from. The kitchen had everything we need (although all we did was cook breakfast there) and the laundry machines were so appreciated. Our kids found tadpoles in the stream out back and we were visited by the many deer every evening. Fiona was very communicative. We would definitely love to stay again and recommend to anyone looking to get up to the highlands!

Wunderbare, abgeschiedene Lage des Hauses mit tollem Blick auf die Landschaft und den See. Uns hat ganz besonders die absolute Stille gefallen. Kein Lärm durch Autos und Maschinen. Wer Ruhe sucht, der findet sie dort.Genügend Platz für 6 Personen. 2 große Bäder. Vom Esstisch aus direkter Blick in die Natur. Stabile Internet-WLAN Verbindung mit ca. 20-25 Mbit/s. Haus gut ausgestattet. Wir hatten an einem Sonntagabend kein heißes Wasser. Per Messengerdienst das Problem gemeldet, keine 3 Minuten später kam die Rückmeldung, das sich gekümmert würde. Und weitere 7 Minuten später war auch schon jemand da und löste das Problem. Da muss man erst in die Highlands, um so einen perfekten Service zu bekommen.

Eine echte Perle im Zentrum der NC500

Ein wunderbares Cottage, bestens ausgestattet in herrlich ruhiger Lage mit Blick auf das Loch Shi. Lairg mit Supermarkt ist wenige Meilen entfernt. Ein toller Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung rund um NC500 und ein fabelhafter Service!

Highland Getaway

If you want to get away from it all and be in nature this is the place! The house was just perfect! Everything you could possibly need was there. The owners were super helpful and so lovely. I would highly recommend booking if you want to be close to nature and be away from it all.

What an amazing stay!

We loved every minute of our stay in Fruachan Cottage- our short break was too short but idyllic in every way! The cottage itself is ideal and had everything we needed; the location is totally out of this world, so quiet with outstanding views. Being in the deer park was magical with the deer around us and overlooking Loch Shin - you can’t get much better than this! We travelled with 2 small dogs who loved being there! Two words- go there!

Beautiful escape

Well equipped cottage with stunning views. Seeing the deer up close was mesmerising for our child. House is spacious and Lairg only a short drive away. Would love to return.

Perfect cottage getaway

This cottage was well outfitted and comfortable for 5 adults. It sits on a beautiful property where deer walk right up to the house, grazing on the clovers. I would recommend this property for a country getaway.
