About this property

Rural cottage in stunning location.

1 Tullochclury is a semi-detached house (owners next door) situated half a mile down a forestry track with walks, cycling and mountain biking from the front door!
This property is ideally placed for touring the Highlands with Inverness 12 minutes by car, and the Cairngorm National Park just minutes away.
The area is perfect for wildlife with many species of birds as well as red squirrels visiting the garden feeder. If you walk 300 yds along the track you come to the beautiful Moy Loch where you can have fun spotting otters and osprey competing for the trout.
The house is warm and cosy with central heating and a wood burning stove (wood provided) and so is comfortable any time of the year. There is a bathroom (with shower over the bath) as well as a wet room (shower only)
A short drive away Dolphins can be seen from the beach or there are Dolphin watching boat trips from Inverness.
Tomatin distillery is 3 miles away where tours of the distillery are well worth a visit.

Perfect Stay

The home was just as lovely as its description. Maybe even better. The hosts were welcoming and so sweet. Meeting our arrival with a welcome spread that was delicious, extra books to read and a fishing pole for our son who loves to fish. The house was very clean, which is important to us. The location was stunning and not too far from eating and shops in Inverness. Would definitely stay here again.

Very lovely cottage and lots of things to see around

If you love to be in the nature and to calm down - than this is a lovely place to watch wildlife (deers, squirrel, birds,.. ) and lots of sheeps with their baby lambs. The highlands with lots of possibilities are nearby, but also Inverness and the isles in the north. The owners John and Diana gave us a very warm welcome. Thank you very much!

Peaceful, Scenic, Beautiful

Nestled amidst serene landscapes, the holiday property exudes an aura of pristine tranquility. Its meticulously manicured gardens and immaculate exteriors welcome guests with open arms, promising a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Inside, every corner boasts impeccable cleanliness, with polished surfaces gleaming under soft lighting. From the plush furnishings to the tasteful decor, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create an ambiance of understated elegance. Truly, a haven of beauty and serenity awaits within these walls. Jon was an exceptional host and was always a quick call away when needed. I would certainly visit again and recommend others to do the same if looking for a pleasant getaway/short break from your busy lives.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

I took months looking and thinking about where I wanted to stay. I saw maybe 30 that I thought might work. A short time before leaving I sat down and looked at all of them again and this one spoke to me as a top choice. I told myself "I am going to say yes and fill out the forms and if it comes back to me as available I am taking it" It came back a yes, and I could tell it was going to be good from the way the owner wrote back. Upon arriving, it was everything and more I could have wanted. We all loved every minute there. PS We are very seasoned travelers.

Lovely home in nature

The home exceeded our expectations. It was so well equipped and in a lovely natural setting. The bed rooms were comfortable and perfect for our group. We were able to easily cook in the kitchen and the dish washer made clean up easy. My elderly mom enjoyed being able to sit in the sunny dinning room and enjoy the birds, squirrels and even a pine Martin in the back garden. We went for walks to the loch and watched the sheep and bunny’s in the field. The home is close to so many interesting sites. We went to Loch Ness, Culloden Moore, Cairngorm National park, Inverness. John was a friendly and host and made the stay very pleasant. I highly recommend this home and area for a visit.

Fantastic Property

This is a truly impressive house. The short title of the listing is absolutely correct; it is a stunning location. You are practically in your own forest with a Loch just a minute's walk. There are lots of walks around the house, and it is completely peaceful. There is an abundance of wildlife in the garden, including pheasants, Red Squirrels and hundreds of birds. We also saw the odd deer and a couple of sheep (although the owner encouraged the latter to return to their field!). The house is an ideal base for the highlands. Inverness is 20-minutes away, which gives you access to Loch Ness and the Black Isle. You also have easy access to Speyside and the Cairngorms. There is so much to see around here. The house has everything you can possibly need. It is immaculate inside and Jon was incredibly friendly, making sure everything was fine for us. We will return to this house. We had an amazing time. It is a place that would be ideal to relax, but similarly is a base to do lots of exploring and then relax in the evening, watching the clouds go by and the colours changing as the sun sets.

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus mit freundlichen Vermietern in einer atemberaubenden Umgebung

Das Ferienhaus liegt trotz naher Autobahn sehr ruhig und naturnah. Wir konnten mehrfach täglich drei Eichhörnchen, zwei Fasane und viele verschiedene Vögel vom Esstisch aus beobachten. Zudem liegt der Loch Moy direkt um die Ecke, ist schnell zu Fuß zu erreichen und lädt zum Angeln ein oder man wandert um ihn herum. Es ist eine traumhafte Landschaft. Das Haus ist sehr sauber sowie sehr liebevoll und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und man findet alles was man braucht. Unsere drei Kinder (5, 0, 0) und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Trotz der gemeinen Midges musste jeden Tag im Garten gekrabbelt und Fußball gespielt werden, bis es wegen der Midges nicht mehr zu ertragen war. Die Vermieter sind unglaublich freundlich und herzlich und haben uns sogar Brot, Wein, Chips und selbstgemachte Marmelade als Überraschung in die Küche gelegt. Sie wohnen direkt nebenan und stehen bei Fragen oder Problemen immer zur Verfügung. Wenn sich jemand darum sorgen sollte, dass es komisch sein könnte, dass die Vermieter direkt nebenan wohnen, dann können wir bedenkenlos versichern, dass es gar nicht auffällt. Wir fanden es sehr angenehmen und haben uns gefreut, wenn wir die Vermieter nach einem Spaziergang getroffen haben und mit ihnen Smalltalk halten konnten. Von dem Ferienhaus aus sind viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zwischen 30 min und 1 h sehr gut zu erreichen. Es gibt so unglaublich viel zu sehen, dass unsere neun Tage wie im Flug vergangen sind und eigentlich viel zu kurz waren. Wir kommen wieder.

Aufenthalt bei Jon Nähe Loch Moy

Jon war ein sehr netter Ferienwohnungsbesitzer. Wenn ich eine Frage hatte, konnte ich immer zu ihm kommen. Er gab mir auch Ausflugstipps. Toll fand ich die Sachen zu essen, die wir vorfanden. Etwas umständlich war das Schloss, das wir öffnen mussten, wenn wir zur Ferienwohnung kommen wollten und wegfahren wollten, aber Pille-Palle.

Ein tolles Haus in sehr ruhiger Umgebung

Obwohl unser sowieso sehr kurzer Aufenthalt durch mehrere unglückliche Ereignisse weiter verkürzt wurde, war es uns jeden Tag eine Freude in dieses Haus zurück zu kommen. Es wartete eine tadellose Wohnung inklusive Gesellschaftsspielen, einem gefüllten Bücherregal, 2 sauberen Badezimmern (oben Badewanne, unten Dusche) und einem Wasserdruck, wie wir ihn in Großbritannien noch nie erlebt haben. ;-) Mit viel Liebe zum Detail wurde wirklich an alles gedacht. Die Besitzer waren sehr herzlich, hilfsbereit und haben uns unseren Aufenthalt wirklich wortwörtlich versüßt. So wartete bei Ankunft bereits ein kleines Welcome-Package auf uns und die Kinder wurden eines Tages beim Spielen mit einem Eis überrascht. Ein besonderes Highlight war die Futterstation für Vögel und Eichhörnchen direkt vor dem beheizten Wintergarten mit Esstisch. So hatte man zu jeder Mahlzeit ausreichend Unterhaltung. Sogar ein Fasan und ein Wiesel kamen fast bist zum Fenster. Gerne empfehlen wir diese wunderbare Unterkunft und kommen sehr gerne wieder. Liebe Di, Lieber Jon, Vielen Dank!

Fantastic Family Holiday - Wonderful place to stay

Tullochclury is a fantastic holiday property and is exactly as described. The owners Jon and Di couldn't have been more pleasant, helpful and discreet and made us feel very welcome and completely at home. The property has everything you would need and is a wonderful place to relax. The loch 300m down the track is beautiful and is perfect for morning and evening walks. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. You are 3 mins off the main A9 but it feels like you could be hours from anywhere. With Inverness just up the road and mountains, bike trails, wildlife parks and more all within 20 minutes drive, it was perfect for our family. We came up with my folks (77 and 83) and also our children ged 4 and 5. The whole family enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. The downstairs double bedroom and bathroom opposite was great for my parents. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to going back again. Thank you for having us Jon and Di, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Matt, Jenn, Archie, Harry and Alma and Dave. :-)
