Perfect getaway
The cottage is lovely, clean, and tidy. It's got a handy drive-in with a gate. The kitchen is well equipped, the shower room is very good and the bedrooms are very comfortable. The beach is a 5 minute walk, with a great cafe 'Crofters' providing excellent food. Opposite the cottage is a small grocery store with further stores in the nearby villages

Haus mit allem, was man braucht
Gute Küchenutensilien vorhanden (Messerset, das Schneiden kann, ausreichend Töpfe und Pfannen, Weingläser, Flaschenöffner etc.). Küche geräumig und Gasherd mit 4 Feldern, viel Stauraum in den stabilen Schränken, die auch befüllt sind mit Geschirr etc. Wohnzimmer extra mit Kamin dann oben drei Schlafzimmer, davon zwei große und eines klein Dusche im Bad ist schön groß und gut nutzbar (Armaturen in Takt, Glaskabine), Bad groß genug, Abwasser-Ablauf manchmal etwas langsam Morgens Vögel der Umgebung aktiv (Möwen, Krähen, Tauben) Es fehlte an nichts! Gastgeber erkundigte sich nett nach dem Befinden, bot sich als Ansprechpartner an, falls was wäre Sehr kurzer Fußweg zum lokalen alten Pub Nicht weit zu einer lokalen Brauerei, die gute Biere braut (Cromarty)! Einkaufsmöglichkeit (Spar-Shop) etwas eingeschränkt (Angebot und Öffnungszeiten) direkt in der Nähe oder mit Rad / Auto schnell in den Nachbarort (Co-op, auch lokale Produkte) Zum Strand wenige Minuten zu Fuß, Mit dem Auto ca. 1/2 h nach Inverness Busverbindung dorthin auch vorhanden (Haltestelle am Spar-Shop) Haus hat um EG Fußbodenheizung, sehr angenehm Treppe im Haus etwas steil, aber gute Halteoptionen vorhanden Haus nicht geeignet für Menschen, die nicht gut Treppen laufen können, da alle Schlafzimmer im OG sind Danke an den Vermieter! Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und er hat immer schnell reagiert auf Fragen!

Lovely Stay in Rosemarkie
The experience was great from start to finish. All communication with Rob was excellent. The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived. It had all mod cons and is in a fantastic position tucked away in the beautiful Rosemarkie.

Groom Cottage
The Owner was very accommodating, helpful and friendly. The Property had easy parking and was ideally situated for both the beach, walks and shops, as well as being walking distance from Chanonry Point and the chance of seeing the Dolphins - which we did! Quiet location, beautiful cosy cottage with a spiral staircase.

What an amazing place! Couldn’t fault it at all, and couldn’t have gotten a better location. Rob is a superb host. Plough Inn is great for a wee drink with the locals and the Crofters Bistro is great for a meal. Thanks Rob and hope to be back very soon.

Groam Cottage Rosemarkie
Groam Cottage is a lovely cosy, warm cottage minutes from the beach in a quiet village. The cottage is within walking or cycling distance of Chanonry Point where dolphins can be watched at close quarters. A bonus as you can visit multiple times without any hassle, as they don't quite show every day. Beautiful walks to the Fairy Glen waterfalls and to caves along the beach from the door as well. Great cafe/ restaurants in Rosemarkie. The cottage was very clean and had great communication with Rob.

Groan cottage Rosemarkie
A lovely stay helped by glorious weather. Saw the dolphins, some went in the sea and we tried to find the caves. Only negatives were steep stairs in cottage and loud seagulls, neither of which can be helped I would imagine. Otherwise perfect for all three generations of our family.

Great stay at Groam Cottage
Had a lovely stay in Groam Cottage despite a couple of wet days. Cromarty, Groam House Museum and the Church in Nigg village are all 'must sees'. But, for us at least, seeing the dolphins at Chanonry Point only metres from the shore was a unique experience and definitely one of the highlights!! About an hour after low tide seems to be the best time.

A lovely cottage in the heart of Rosemarkie
Groam Cottage is perfectly located on the main street in Rosemarkie, just a couple of minutes walk from the beautiful sandy beach. It was the perfect location for a family get away. Clean, warm and a great host, Rob, who was quick to respond to any communication. Such a beautiful part of the world. Thank you

Excellent Cottage
This is a beautiful cottage, set in a lovely little village. An ideal place to get away from it all. Everything you could possible need is provided, it's a real home from home. The photographs don't do it justice. The lounge is lovely and cosy, we stayed in October and although we were fortunate to have lovely sunny days the evenings we're cold and we could light the log burner and spend cosy nights in. Communication with Rob is easy and he ensured we had everything we could possibly need. I would highly recommend this place if you want to stay somewhere quiet on the black isle.

This beautiful cottage is located on The Black Isle, it ideal for touring the Highlands and the surrounding area. The property is well equipped with good quality kitchen equipment. With three bedrooms it is able to easily accommodate a family of 5 although we were 3. We loved this cottage, its location, and the accommodation.
