This modern architect-designed cottage forms the perfect base for couples and small families looking for a rural retreat in the Highlands. Take a step back from daily life and experience total peace and tranquillity in a remote setting. The land to the north of the property is unpopulated as far as the west coast, providing unrivalled scenery and exciting deer-watching opportunities. If you run out of wine or snacks, you won’t have to travel far as the wonderful town of Alness is located just 4 miles from your doorstep. Here you will find supermarkets, independent shops and friendly pubs.

The property itself offers a pleasant surprise for those looking for something unique. This self-catering cottage is set amidst the stunning rugged countryside yet the interior has a distinct modern feel. As you enter the cottage you will be welcomed by not only a welcome basket but also a bright and airy space that boasts fantastic countryside views from many of the rooms.

Visualise cream walls and sofas with natural wood elements and you may get an idea of what’s in store. Despite the clean and contemporary style, the open-plan lounge is a homely space with wood burner and flatscreen TV, perfect for cosy evenings during the colder months. The kitchen/diner forms part of this space, offering modern appliances with a table and chairs. There is a double room on the ground floor which can sleep up to two guests.

Outside, there are several large patios surrounding the house on two sides; this is accessible from the lounge, bedroom and dining area. There is plenty of furniture here, providing the perfect spot for soaking up the sunshine in this green and sunny part of the northern Highlands.
