Solus Na Madainn

Solus Na Madainn works well for couples or small families wanting a base in Easter Ross. The cottage has two bedrooms—a kingsize and a pair of singles—sharing one bathroom, and it's yours alone. Ground floor living is straightforward: a sitting room with woodburner and TV, a dining room, and a kitchen with electric oven and induction hob. Upstairs, the bedrooms have wool carpets and solid wood pieces, though the stairs spiral and floors slope in keeping with the building's age. A garden with lawn and mature planting sits beyond the kitchen.

The essentials are covered—electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and WiFi are all included. A pub is within a mile of the property, and Tain itself, a sandstone town at the heart of the region, has shops, restaurants and a golf course designed by Old Tom Morris within walking distance. The location suits those exploring the North Highlands and wider Easter Ross. One pet stays free. The property does not permit smoking or vaping.
