About this property

Delightful Historic Fishermans Cottage By The Sea In Lovely Conservation Area

Short Term Letting Licence Number HI-20281-F
Tanera More was built as a fishermans cottage about 200 years ago and retains many original features. The situation on the shore of the Moray Firth makes it a delightful place to spend time simply admiring the views and the changing light over the sea. Great location for many outdoor activities. Walking, Cycling, Sailing, Birdwatching, Golf and horse riding can all be enjoyed locally. There are some excellent local museums for rainy days and good restaurants to be found in Fortrose, Munlochy and Cromarty. The highland capital of Inverness is only 10 miles away and boat cruises on Loch Ness are always popular. Ancient Pictish remains dot the landscape in this area which is mainly agricultural. It is a perfect gate way to the west coast for a day out to the Isle of Skye and the beauty of the more rugged west coast.

First of all this property is an absolute gem! It is extremely well kept and clean. It is actually better than in the pictures, they do not do it justice. Suzana is a great host very friendly and gives you a very thorough introduction to the property and how everything works. I very much enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend a visit, the location is idyllic! Again a highly recommended property!

We had a fantastic stay here. The house was super clean and had more than enough of all the supplies. No need to run to the store to get extra paper towels, toilet paper, soap, or anything like that. The washer was clean and worked very well. WiFi very fast. Suzana was fantastic and gave us a great overview of the property when we checked in. This was a great opportunity to stay in an authentic 200 year old fishing cottage in the Black Isle. Views of the Firth are great from every room of the house. It’s right outside the front door. We will stay here again if back in the area. Highly recommend this property for a great authentic experience for your family.

Beautiful cottage by the sea

My family spent 5 days at this locely cottage in Avoch. The cottage is beautiful, just steps from the water, with a rocky beach great for beachcombing. The cottage was clean and nicely decorated. Suzana was easy to get a hold of and quick to respond to questions.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Tanera More is the ideal "Highland cottage by the sea". The village of Avoch has always been a fishermans cove and the small harbour continues to support a small community of fisherman plus a new generation of pleasure trips to see the dolphins. This part of the Moray Firth enjoys a mild climate sheltered from the open seas by Channory Point, and the area is abundant in wild life. The Cairngorm mountains to the south are covered in snow during the winter months and lure out door enthusiasts. Local culture of legend and folklore are on the door step and intriguing Pictish remains dot the landscape. Sandy beaches are close by in Rosemarkie and there's golfing in Fortrose. It's the perfect holiday getaway, yet is only 10 miles from the amenities of Inverness.
