Glebe Cottage

The Highlands offer castles, mountain scenery, lochs and beaches in abundance, along with hiking, biking, fishing and golf. Muir of Ord sits at the heart of it, a few miles from Inverness, Loch Ness and Culloden. Glebe Cottage is a detached house on the edge of farmland, recently renovated and furnished to a comfortable standard, where you have the run of the place to yourselves.

Two bedrooms sleep four: one with a kingsize bed, the other with two singles. There is one bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Downstairs, a living room has a wood burner (logs included), a 32-inch Smart TV and DVD player, while the dining room opens into a kitchen fitted with an electric oven and hob, dishwasher and washer-dryer. Outside, a large garden comes with seating and furniture; you have parking for two cars and a bike store. Electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are all covered. A travel cot and highchair are available if needed.

The cottage works as a base for exploring the Moray coast, the Whisky Trail, the Cairngorms or the west coast and Isle of Skye, all within driving range. For a quieter break, you can simply settle in front of the fire. The property is non-smoking.
