Seaside cottage by a sandy beach - dolphins, golf, near Inverness and Loch Ness

Recently renovated comfortable two bedroom cottage with a spacious garden with views of the sea and a sandy beach which is less than a minutes walk away. Watch out for the wild water swimmers every morning. Rosemarkie Golf course is five minutes walk away.

The Boathouse has a brand new contemporary kitchen, sofas, beds, decor and soft furnishings.

Peaceful relaxing area on the edge of Rosemarkie with its local amenities, cafes, restaurants and tourist attractions. Beautiful walk along the beach to Chanonry Lighthouse where the dolphins can be spotted daily as they swim up and down the Moray Firth.

All the amenities of the city of Inverness are only 20 minutes drive away with shops, restaurants, cinema, theatre and tourist attractions nearby e.g. Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, local Distilleries, Culloden Battlefield and much more.

The stunning west Coast of Scotland, the North Coast 500 and world famous golf courses and fishing are all easily accessible from the Black Isle.

Brilliant Boathouse

Our first time in Scotland. Everything was easy, breezy, beautiful. The property was superb; clean, comfy and convenient. Handy location to set your own pace of holiday. Right on the beach to stay there and relax, or easy to drive out further for adventure. We had a great time. And host Carol is copl.

A relaxing and quiet break in a perfect location

The location of the cottage is just perfect, across a very quiet road is the sea which can be heard gently lapping on the shore. The next door caravan site is very quiet and all one can hear are birds and sea. There are 2 cafes nearby but the cottage is very well equipped for all cooking needs. The beds are extremely comfortable and the shower strong and as hot as you want it. We ended up staying for 2 weeks because we loved it so much and even though the weather was not good we totally relaxed and enjoyed the peace of Rosemarkie.

Well presented, equipped, and immaculately clean. Comfortable bed and bedding. Nice touches like provision of some condiments, soap, shampoos, dishwasher tables, w/machine powder, tea bags, plastic bags and bag clips. A modern smart TV would have been appreciated. Between property and beach is end of caravan and campsite, didn't bother me, people sit in front of their tents and RVs looking out to sea, so not intrusive.

Fabulous cottage on the beach

Fabulous location right on the beach, short 20 minute walk to watch dolphins in the afternoon and 5 minute walk to local cafe (Crofters) for an afternoon cake and coffee (or beer!), be aware the cafe is only open until 7:30pm. Cottage is lovely with a garden to sit out and listen to the waves, well equipped with everything you need. Short 5 minute drive gets you to Fortrose with a coop, chip shop (you have to visit McGintys!) and a few other eateries. Well located to adventure further afield (cairngorms / Loch Ness). If driving, the parking we felt was a challenge to get in and out, needs some careful reversing and turning skills!

Top holiday

The property was excellent. Comfy beds are very important in old age and these were excellent. The bathroom shower was over the bah but no problem. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed . Much like at home. The house was good value but the VRBO service charge was exorbitant. Also they were difficult to contact.
