About this property
Strathpeffer 1 mile. A charming, stone-built cottage, situated in a quiet hamlet close to the famous Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer. This deceptively spacious Strathpeffer cottage offers up-to-date facilities and is ideal for a family or group of friends who want to enjoy this beautiful part of the Scottish Highlands. With the accommodation all on one level, apart from a small step up to the shower room and kitchen, this Highlands cottage has two nicely presented bedrooms and a tasteful sitting room with welcoming woodburner, making it a fabulous place to relax at the end of a busy day. The well-equipped kitchen/diner benefits from having a door leading out to the pretty front garden where guests can relax with a quiet drink while dinner cooks! Although quietly situated, the spa village of Strathpeffer is close by and offers a choice of venues for dining, some lively pubs and a busy village shop, plus during the summer months the local pipe band play to entertain visitors. The area has much to offer visitors with an abundance of cycle paths and fabulous walks, as well as fishing in the rivers close by or a round of golf at the Spa Golf Club. By car, visit the pretty Black Isle villages, see dolphins jumping in the Moray Firth and explore the wonderful beaches at Nairn. This Strathpeffer cottage is a super holiday base.
Strathpeffer is a spa village in the Scottish Highlands and has been compared to a Bavarian Mountain resort. In the 1700s, spring water was discovered in the scenic village and was declared as the healthiest drinking water in Britain in 1819. The Spa Pavilion in the village has been superbly restored and is now a venue for dramas, dances, exhibitions and concerts.
