The Cherry Tree

One dog stays free at The Cherry Tree, a four-bedroom holiday cottage near Piperhill in the Highlands. The property sleeps seven across four bedrooms—a double, two singles, a zip-and-link kingsize, and a further single—with two bathrooms to serve them. There is private parking for two cars and an enclosed rear garden where dogs and children can play safely; a bike store is on site if you want to explore further afield.

The ground floor holds the living space and main kitchen, with a woodburner for colder evenings and an electric cooker for cooking. Upstairs are the remaining bedrooms. Both bathrooms are modern, and essentials like Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included, along with initial fuel for the burner. A welcome pack, travel cot and highchair are available on request. The property is non-smoking.

Nairn's beaches lie a short distance away, and Cawdor Castle and Gardens are nearby. The position suits groups and families looking for a full property to themselves in countryside that is walkable and accessible, rather than isolated.
