About this property

Beautiful Highland Cottage in the heart of Evanton. STL: HI-20018-R, EPC : (D)

SHORT TERM LICENCE: HI-20018-F
EPC rating: (D)
Lovely 2 storey family home built in 1811 is located in the quiet village of Evanton, 1/2 a mile off the A9. Plenty of space both inside and out for up 6 people. The property was updated in 2017 keeping its homely feel of warmth and relaxation for a perfect quiet stay. There are the occasional steps up and down internally to the extension to the back of the building. The main staircase is the original and the treads are narrower. This information is for guest who may have problems with stairs in general.
Situated central to the village and on the NC500 route. Amenities within walking distance. Perfect location, 16 miles from the Highland Capital of Inverness. The village has the backdrop of the breathtaking heights of Ben Wyvis and is a perfect base for traveling further afield, returning to the warmth and comfort of this well-maintained home.

This property was in a lovely part of town and very clean. The biggest problem, and I think should be mentioned in the listing, is the steep stairs with narrow steps.

Nicely stocked kitchen, plenty of room for everyone. We used this for a base to explore the Inverness area. Fun pub just a few doors down to walk to. Washer dryer was nice, and a living room with a TV to watch some football games was nice. Donna was a great host, and very responsive when we needed help access the property! Lovely stay!

We were delighted to host for David and his family. The cortage was left neat and tidy and any communication went well. Lovely to hear that the local Inn made for a fun pit stop. The village is small but has a great atmosphere. We would be delighted if you would stay again.

This is a lovely cottage in a small village within a reasonable drive from Inverness. It is surprisingly spacious with a large kitchen and a full bathtub in the downstairs bathroom. Donna added many unexpected details such as laundry detergent, a proper tea set, and fresh flowers in several rooms. She even left some cupcakes for us! Wonderful stay and highly recommended!
