Om boendet

1800-talets Millers Cottage med fantastisk utsikt, vackert renoverat.

En vacker malerhus frÄn 1800-talet, stÄende i sin egen stora trÀdgÄrd med fantastisk utsikt över Cromarty Firth. I vÄr familj i över 50 Är och tillgÀnglig frÄn maj 2020. Nyligen renoverad interiör med 4 sovrum med dubbelsÀng, 3 badrum, fullt utrustat stort kök och matplats, separat tvÀttstuga / spiskammare, mycket stort vardagsrum med öppen spis, TV-rum. 500 meter frÄn vÄr andra 5-stjÀrniga hyra. Perfekt för familjegrupper som besöker Skottlands höglÀnder.

Vi har varit Homeaway-vÀrdar i flera Är, i Skottland och i London, och har nu lagt till detta familjhem till vÄra 5-stjÀrniga betyg.

Stugan ligger i sin egen stora trÀdgÄrd med öppna fÀlt framför och en liten trÀ och sjö bakom, cirka 1 km frÄn byn Evanton. Den har fantastisk utsikt framför ner över Cromarty Firth och bakom upp till Fyrish Hill med sitt berömda monument. Black Rock Gorge, filmad i Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ligger bara 10 minuters promenad.

Sovarrangemang: Stugan Àr idealisk för stora familjegrupper och rymmer upp till 10 gÀster. Den har tvÄ stora sovrum pÄ bottenvÄningen (ett med king size-sÀng, ett med tvÄ enkelsÀngar som kan flyttas tillsammans), ett badrum med separat dusch och badkar och ett andra badrum med stor dusch. PÄ övervÄningen finns ytterligare tvÄ sovrum (ett med dubbelsÀng, ett med tvÄ enkelsÀngar som kan flyttas tillsammans), ett badrum med badkar och toalett och ett TV-rum med en bÀddsoffa. Alla sÀngklÀder och handdukar tillhandahÄlls.

Det stora köket och matplatsen Àr fullt utrustad för 10 gÀster, med porslin, bestick, diskmaskin, te och kaffe, etc. Av köket finns ett tvÀttstuga med tvÀttmaskin och separat klÀdtork. Huvudköksfönstret vetter mot trÀdgÄrden, dÀr du ofta kan titta pÄ hjortar och fasaner medan du Àter din frukost

Det stora vardagsrummet gÄr hela stugan, med en vacker gammal stenöppen spis i ena Ànden. En glasdörr leder ut pÄ den frÀmre grÀsmattan, dÀr du kan njuta av de lÄnga sommarkvÀllarna.

Stugan har alla bekvÀmligheter du kan förvÀnta dig: hÄrtorkar, strykjÀrn och strykbrÀda, TV, WiFi. Och gÀsterna kommer ocksÄ att hitta ett urval av utomhusklÀder för deras anvÀndning i verandan: vattentÀta rockar, vandringsskor och stövlar.

Stugan ligger 25 minuters bilresa norr om Inverness. GÀsterna behöver verkligen sina egna fordon eftersom stugan ligger 1. 5 km uppför promenad utanför centrum av byn Evanton och nÀrmaste butiker och lokal busshÄllplats.

Den nÀrmaste flygplatsen Àr Inverness (INV), som betjÀnas av EasyJet och British Airways-flyg frÄn London, och en KLM-flyg dagligen frÄn Amsterdam. Den nÀrmaste jÀrnvÀgsstationen Àr Inverness, med sovplatser över natten frÄn London Euston Station. Hyrbilar finns pÄ bÄda platserna. Det Àr en 35-40 minuters bilresa frÄn flygplatsen / stationen till stugan.

Edinburgh (EDI) flygplats, som har mÄnga fler flygningar, Àr en vacker 3 1/2 timmars bilresa genom Cairngorms. Aberdeen (ABZ) flygplats Àr 3 timmar (men pÄ en mycket mindre trevlig vÀg).

Lovely, peaceful home near Inverness

Balavoulin House is a beautiful, updated centuries-old home close to Inverness and Black Isle. The house has a fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need, three modern bathrooms and four comfortable bedrooms. The views from the house are stunning and you feel like you are in a little paradise away from the hustle and bustle. The Coop in Evanston had everything we needed and we often visited the nearby Storehouse for lunches and afternoon teas. Dornoch and Ullapool were an hour or so away and must visit. Piers was a delightful and attentive host and we would be so happy to have the opportunity to visit again in the future. Many thanks for your hospitality, Piers!

Urlaub in der schottischen Stille

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in diesem netten und charaktervoll ausgestatteten Haus. Die Ausstattung lĂ€sst nichts vermissen. Wir konnten AusflĂŒge in die nĂ€here Umgebung machen, Wanderungen unternehmen und haben sogar Pilze gefunden. Ein herzlicher Dank an den Vermieter, der gerade in den ersten Tagen auf alle Fragen rasch eine Antwort wusste. Vielen Dank auch fĂŒr die Vermittlung der Bekanntschaft von Dave, von dem wir die GrundzĂŒge des Fliegenfischens in Theorie und Praxis gelernt haben! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Best of Both Worlds

This was a wonderfully secluded property surrounded by peaceful fields and nearby forest, with no neighbors or industrialized human-made junk to interfere with its serene views. Flowers and herbs surround the house. Walking trails immediately nearby add to the immersion in the natural world. On the inside, the house is very nicely appointed. From the spacious and well-designed kitchen to the eclectic artwork, and from the eco-friendly policies to the functional technology, everything reflects thoughtful and selective modern convenience. Linens and beds were comfy, hot water was plentiful even with all 3 bathrooms in use during our stay, and all appliances were working well. Piers was a consummate host, providing detailed information about the property in advance and readily available for consultation during our stay. When one of our party fell ill, he was able to recommend good local medical services and kindly checked in several times. Great stay with the beauty of nature all around and the conveniences of modern life within!

Heaven

This was the perfect place for a peaceful, quite, slowed down holiday. It was a great contrast from being in the middle of St. Andrews or Edinburg. This is the country and we loved it. We had some home cooked meals and some cozy game nights by the fire. This made a fabulous home base while we explored the west coast highlands and played some golf. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone interested in some time in the country. It is not unlikely that I will be back, I'm dreaming of it at least!

Stunning holiday rental

Balavoulin House is one of the nicest holiday rentals I have ever stayed in. It had everything we could possibly need, with many extras that made our stay that much more comfortable. We cooked up some great feasts in the beautiful big kitchen and I can't say I've stayed in too many holiday rentals with a larder! It was nice to have separate bathrooms as well, and I enjoyed my daily baths after our days out in the cold. The rooms were beautifully decorated and had a wonderfully eclectic mix of art and books. The beds were extremely comfortable and I had some of the best night's sleeps. The views from the property are breathtaking, and there is a nice walk you can do nearby. The location was remote enough to have a bit of privacy but still close to everything. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

Don't hesitate, book this stay!

I cannot say enough about Piers and his amazing cottage in Evanton. The house is adorable, the views from each window are amazing, and our host, Piers, was very attentive. This house has everything you need. It's tucked away for plenty of privacy, but close enough to town to get food and visit the local shops. I highly recommend the Scottish Breakfast at Batty's Baps in Dingwall. And at the end of your day of travels, you can head back to the cottage and play cards while warming by the fireplace in the family room. The beds are comfy, and the kitchen is well supplied for all types of cooking. We will certainly stay here again when in the area :)

The most charming cottage in Scotland

Our stay at Balavoulin was wonderful. The cottage is well appointed and tidy. The view overlooking fields of sheep towards the Cromarty Firth is spectacular. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and practical, and the rest is all charm with interesting artwork on the walls and lovely books everywhere. The stone fireplace is a wonderful place to end the day. Having a ladder already stocked with pasta and soup saved us on our first night, too (replace what you use of course)! Piers was so accommodating for our group, which included a one-year-old, procuring a high chair for us on short notice. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Om vÀrden

Piers Cumberlege Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
This is a relatively recent listing for another family property that we have renovated following the departure of a family friend tenant, joining the two others that have all been in our family for generations. These are our personal homes, and we love welcoming leisure and business travellers in each location, when we ourselves are away. The reviews will show you that we really do want to offer you a homelike experience in a place with nice family furniture, our own books and belongings - not an impersonal letting property.

Our whole family have been described as global nomads, having lived and travelled extensively around the world. We have long experience of and affection for emerging economies, in which we have lived, studied, invested and done business.

Although it may sound a bit corny, the notion of lifelong learning is strong for us all - probably the closest thing to a motto, along with a strong focus on values and human dignity. We welcome all people here, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, dis/ability, etc.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

Ideal for family groups visiting the Highlands of Scotland, and fully equipped for staycations/Work From Home)

A beautiful 19th century miller's cottage, standing in its own large garden with stunning views over Cromarty Firth. In our family for over 50 years. Fully renovated interior with 4 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, fully equipped large kitchen and dining area, separate laundry room/larder, very large sitting room with open fireplace, TV room with sofa bed. 500 metres from our other 5 star rental cottage.

Several wonderful varied walks right next to the cottage to keep you exercised during your stay - here are just some examples! Along the Glass River from the Black Rock Gorge down to Evanton village (1 hour round trail - mainly flat); Up the top of Fyrish hill and the Monument (2 1/2 hours round trail - steady climb); along the shore of Loch Glass (30 minutes to 3 hours - mostly flat); along the shore of Cromarty Firth from Kiltearn Church (45 minutes - gentle flat stroll).

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Situated on the famous North Coast 500 route, we are ideally placed as a base to explore the Highlands. Just twenty kilometres north of Inverness and the amenities of the city, but the pleasure of the country, with easy access to Loch Ness itself.

Deer, stoats, pheasants, woodpeckers are among regular visitors in the cottage garden (as you can see from the photos of deer taken on 30 June 2020). Balavoulin is a rural cottage and surrounded by beautiful flower gardens so on occasion, and despite our best efforts, a stray bug, spider, or other nature-loving creature may wander inside, especially if a door is left open.

Note that the cottage itself is a 25 minute walk from shops in the centre of Evanton village - it is not really practical to stay here without your own vehicle.

A beautiful road leads off to the West Coast and the Isle of Skye. Or head up the East Coast right to the tip of Great Britain.

Evanton also has some of its own features:
‱ Fyrish Monument. This is the stone ruin you can see on top of the nearest hill. It represents the gates of Negapatam in India and was built in 1782 by General Sir Hector Munro, a local landowner, in order to provide employment for local people. There is a path up to the monument on the other side of the hill.

‱ The Black Rock Gorge, just 1/2 km further up the Glenglass Road, is a very deep and narrow natural river gorge. It is a rather spooky place and was used for filming one of the scenes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

‱ Ben Wyvis is a small mountain (big for Scotland) between Evanton and Dingwall to the north. It is a Nature Reserve and can be walked. Despite only being 1000 metres high, some parts of the mountain have snow all year round.

There are also many great places to walk just in the nearby countryside and guests will find links to trails we and others have loaded onto Wikiloc in the house manual.
