About this property

Peaceful Highland cottage sleeping 6 in comfort

The house is let as a whole, with one double and two twin bedrooms. There is a large, well-equipped kitchen and dining room with a lovely open plan sitting room with a log stove. There is a new hard tennis court you can use, and fishing is often available during May, June & July.
Dalmigavie lies at 1100 ft, and is surrounded by miles of empty 'Monahdliath Mountains'. There is a long track from the house up the glen and then into the hills. During the Spring when birds are nesting, we ask guests to avoid walking on the open hill, especially with dogs. Almost every British bird of prey has been seen at Dalmigavie. David and Lorna Paton, look after everything at Dalmigavie, and have been there for 18 years. They live in a cottage close by.

Dalmigavie is 6 miles off the A9 near Tomatin. It is 40 minutes from Inverness airport, and 20 minutes from the station at Carrbridge. Two hours from Edinburgh. A car is needed, and the last 100m to the house is up a steep vehicular track. There are several good golf courses in the vicinity. The coast is 45 minutes away. The weather can be wild and cold, or warm and balmy, sometimes on successive days!

House rules: No dogs allowed in the house accept by prior arrangement. No smoking.
Dogs to be kept on leads outside (sheep, deer, red squirrels) and nesting birds in the Spring - woodcock, curlew, oyster catchers, green plovers, grouse, amongst others.

Please treat the house, grounds, river and hills with care and respect. Once you cross our bridge over the river Findhorn into Dalmigavie estate you enter a little world of your own.


If you enjoy fishing, you can take a day or two of salmon fishing on 4 miles of the Findhorn at Dalmigavie at a cost of £55 per day. Rods are not provided. Let us know in advance in case it is already booked. We can take up to 4 rods at a time.

Lodge House
We really enjoyed the beautiful views. We had an extra surprise late one evening with about 12 deer in the front yard. For those not familiar with ticks, info about that would be helpful for future guests. We also had some trouble with the written directions to the cottage - it mentioned then end of the wall when in fact you had to turn right at the sign and the wall continued on.

A few days in the Scottish countryside
My wife, myself and our adult son stayed at the cottage for a few days. We absolutely loved it. The house was immaculate, and the surrounding property was equally impressive. Upon booking our stay, I didn’t realize that we would be able to roam about on thousands? of acres freely. We climbed the hill behind the cottage and enjoyed an afternoon in the high country. Saw lots of wildlife, and were taken back by the number of pheasants about. Of course, the lambs were adorable. Deer could be seen from the kitchen window in the evening. Our host, Lorna, dropped by briefly and gave us an orientation as well as offering us mountain bikes and other recreational options. Highest recommendation!

Amazing country gem!
Wow! I cannot believe we stumbled across this property! A cozy, beautiful cottage in the country tucked away from busy life and noise. The surrounding property is amazing for walks and hikes. So much wildlife comes by to visit including deer, pheasants, rabbits, and the numerous fields of sheep. The wood burning fireplace was amazing and the owners kept very well stocked with wood and tinder. The showers were great with ample hot water and pressure. Lorna greeted us immediately upon arrival and was such a kind and welcoming person. We are so excited about our stay and would absolutely come back! Thank you for a nice visit.

Lovely cottage in a great location
Me, my wife and two small children (2 and 4) had a lovely time in the Keeper's cottage – the perfect size for a family of four set in a beautiful location with everything we needed for our long weekend away. The log fire was delightful (and well stocked with coal and wood) and the surroundings of the cottage were idyllic. Would definitely stay again!

Peace and quiet with a view
The review only allows five stars, ten would be more appropriate! The property was about as remote and peaceful as you could dream up. Take along a few essential items to eat, light the fire, kick back with a good read or see the Milky Way!

Peaceful Getaway in the Scottish Countryside
We had a wonderful time staying at this charming cottage in Inverness. The location was perfect, surrounded by lovely countryside and cows. The cozy interior provided everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The fully-equipped kitchen allowed us to cook delicious meals. We loved sitting by the crackling fireplace. The cottage was clean, well-maintained and comfortable. The detailed information provided to us. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable and relaxing vacation in this beautiful setting.

Magical!!
We loved our stay here and words can’t do it justice. Being able to wake up to deer outside our window, sitting out on the bench with a cup of coffee and watching the river and mountains in the valley. The cottage itself is very well stocked and we managed to cook a Sunday roast (although make sure to bring your own tea/coffee/cooking oil etc and any other essential food items). The cottage is very cosey and we felt right at home straight away, we were sad to leave and will make sure to book another stay in the future!

We will be back
My son lives in Moy so we are familiar with the location but we loved Keepers Cottage for the setting mostly. It is beautifully situated for walking and I even did some X country Skiing from the door. We had all our 3 grown up children with us and with NO TV its perfect for really catching up and being together. Lorna is very helpful and kind. We did get a bit lost as it was so dark but met a few people as a result down the the Glen! Can we come back soon? Lucy Wallace

Highland remoteness at it's best
The property was excellent for our family needs. Tastefully decorated, clean, and well equipped. Had fun on the new tennis court, though we're no Andy Murray. The river and mountain scenery was breath taking. We even had a herd of deer walk past our window.
