Grieve's Cottage receives glowing praise for its spacious, clean, and well-equipped interiors, set in a peaceful and scenic location ideal for dog owners and nature lovers. Guests consistently highlight the relaxing hot tub, secure garden, and friendly, welcoming hosts. The cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring the Highlands, with easy access to beaches and local attractions. While a few minor issues such as firm beds, occasional water pressure fluctuations, and some dated lounge furniture are mentioned, the overwhelmingly positive feedback reflects a highly enjoyable and restorative holiday experience.

Cleanliness is frequently praised, with multiple guests describing the cottage as spotless, extremely clean, and well maintained. Only one minor mention of hot tub water needing service was noted, but this was quickly resolved.

The location is highly rated for its tranquillity, beautiful views, proximity to beaches, and suitability for dog walks. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting and easy access to local attractions and amenities.

Guests find the cottage spacious, cosy, and comfortable, with restful beds and a relaxing atmosphere. A few mention firm mattresses and dated lounge furniture, but these are outweighed by positive comments about sleep quality and overall comfort.

Facilities such as the hot tub, secure garden, and well-equipped kitchen are highly valued. Some minor feedback includes limited crockery and cutlery, occasional water pressure issues, and a suggestion to upgrade the shower, but overall satisfaction remains high.

Guests frequently mention the warm welcome and friendliness of the hosts. A welcome pack with tea, coffee, biscuits, milk, and sugar was appreciated by some guests, but please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

This single-storey end terraced farm cottage (whose name derives from the Scottish for farm foreman) has been extensively renovated and refurbished whilst retaining its original charm, including exposed stone walls and dry stone walling. It is set at the end of a quiet private lane on the owner’s working farm. Whilst the main living area is open plan, a sense of luxury is created with deep leather sofa suites and attractive lighting. The kitchen is accessed through an original exposed stone wall. Large canvases of the surrounding area add to the unique charm of this superbly presented cottage. Outside, a gravelled path leads out to the hot tub area, enclosed by fencing and original stone walls, it is private and secluded. A charming summer house overlooking the hot tub has comfortable outdoor dining chairs and there is a table for alfresco dining by the tub.

The charming and historic seaside village of Portmahomack has a good selection of amenities, including a shop, pub, café and two restaurants and is just 1 mile away and less than a mile from the cottage you will find Portmahomack Tarbat Golf Club. With its horseshoe shaped sandy bay and superb mountain backdrop, it is a wonderful place to walk, picnic, swim or kayak. The harbour and pier are ideal for small boats, a spot of crabbing or fishing. The region is noted for its archaeological sites and at the nearby Tarbat Discovery Centre there is a fascinating display of Pict, Norse and Medieval artefacts. There are lovely walks direct from the cottage. A trip out to the local lighthouse further along the lane is a must, with the opportunity to spot seals, dolphins and numerous seabirds. The nearby town of Tain has further excellent facilities, including restaurants, supermarkets and bars. Grieve’s Cottage is ideally located for exploring the whole of the Highland region and will provide a memorable and indulgent pampering break for all. Beach 1 mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

    Cottage was lovely and quiet with everything in that you could possibly need. Owners were very friendly welcoming and helpful. Lots of things to do and a goood base to return to.

  • Susan Savage

    An absolute gem of a cottage. Nice peaceful location, plenty of walks, local places of interest. Cottage was spotlessly clean,the welcome pack of tea,coffee, biscuits and milk and sugar was very much appreciated. The hot tub is a great way to relax after a day of activities.
