Applegrove - Perfect and cosey 2 bed bungalow in the heart of Fortrose village

A little piece of heaven is located in the heart of Fortrose village in the Highlands. Although it is right in the center it is really tucked away and very private. It has off street parking for one car and a secure enclosed garden, ideal for little people. As it is all on one level it would be suitable for guests with limited mobility. The house is a 2 minute walk to the high street where you will find the shops and amenities. Fortrose is a fantastic village. The sea is on your doorstep. Five minutes walk (we walk down in our wetsuits) and you can be in the sea at the harbour or paddling your kayak off into the blue yonder. In the village just a minutes walk away from the house you have the high st. There is a co-op, a bakers, a butchers, a post office/gift shop, boots the chemist, fish and chip shop, cafes, bars and our favourite, IV10 the deli bistro that is a must eat place for all visitors.
A short walk away you have Chanory Point which is a renowned place for spotting the dolphins that live in the Moray Firth. You can walk there from Applegrove. Also you have the even bigger beach at Rosemarkie and again some great little cafes for coffee and cake at the end of your walk. The house was recently fully refurbished in 2020, all new bathrooms, carpet and flooring throughout and full redecoration. The house does not have a dishwasher.

4 days in Fortress
The property had a great deal of privacy despite being in close quaters with other.homes. A wall and fence enclosed the outdoor space providing security and privacy. The community of the home was noticeably safe and secure. We would recommend to the owners that they update the main living room area with brighter lighting, and more modern and comfortable furniture. Given the rainy weather during our stay a nice fire in the fireplace would have been cozy, but we couldn't use it because the stack was inoperable. Both the bathrooms were upgraded, and very nice. Adding some low cost wall mounted glass shelves in each bath would be a nice functional upgrade. Using the sun porch for having breakfast and coffee was a nice way to start the day. All in all a nice property; yet with a few changes to the.living room area it could be much better.

Handy location
Good base for our visiting around Inverness and Ft George. Loved the town. Would have enjoyed more uptodate furnishing of living room, but it was all ok for our brief stay. Thank you!

Lovely well cared for cottage
This cottage was perfect for or visit to the Inverness area. It was spacious with parking for our car right at the door. It has a nice garden area, and was very nicely equipped for all our needs. It is within short walking distance to the local co-op store for groceries and travel items. There are walking paths down to the sea shore. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay.

Great wee spot
The cottage was perfect for what we needed and safe for young children as described. Great location for the village and surrounding areas, we didn't have enough bin bags and some dirty towels were left on the back of the bathroom doors when we arrived. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend it.

Perfect base near Chanonry Point
The property was very clean, well equipped and everything we needed was there. It was nice to have a garden as well. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms recently done up. We really enjoyed being able to just walk to Chanonry Point to watch the dolphins!

Fortrose is fantastic
Our home was a cozy place to spend a few days, although we spent most of the time exploring Fortrose and nearby towns. The house fully met our needs for rest and relaxation after full days out. Not to be missed in Fortrose are The Anderson and IV10. The main bakery in town (across from The Anderson did amazing breakfast pies and pastries, too).
