Quiet Getaway

A beautiful stop on our travel through Scotland. The apartment is lovely, quiet Except for some traffic noise), and very comfortable. The welcome basket was a warm touch! Much nicer stay than we would have had in Inverness!

Dolphins and more

Great house in avoch with views over the Harbour and Moray Firth. Boat trips to view dolphins directly opposite. Five minute drive tomfortrose and chanonry point - saw dolphins both times. Cottage very comfortable - felt more like a very well cared private home than a rental. Lovely touches - welcome hamper, lovely toiletries, teabags, coffee etc. Also lovely artwork by owners throughout house. Would definitely stay there again

Can't Wait To Return

Our overall experience (my hubby and I) at this property was great, relaxing & fun. Plenty of room, well-equipped kitchen, a window seat I enjoyed reading & coloring from, fun DVD collection of Scottish films & a tub for soaking at the end of daily excursion. This was a great jumping off spot for us as we love to drive & roam around the country side. Joyful neighborhood walks and a divine chip shop across the way. I loved watching the boats go out and come in as I watched cooking from the kitchen window. The owners are beyond lovely and helpful. Scrumptious places to dine and it's here I discovered my favorite new gin...so far.

Absolut wunderbar

Es wurde nicht zu viel versprochen. Die Wohnung ist ein Traum und der viel beschriebene Fensterplatz genial. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus liegt direkt am Stand, nach Inverness sind es nur 20 Min. Wir hatten die Gelegenheit, ein nettes Gespräch mit Andrew und Lee zu führen. Der Tip mit Ullapool war hervorragend. Vielen Dank nochmal hierfür. Wir lernten Schottland und die Schotten wirklich lieben. Ich hoffe, wir kommen bald wieder…

Taigh Sonas

Taigh Sonas is a very well equipped and comfortable property made a "home from home" by personal touches by Andrew and Lee. It was our first visit to this part of Scotland and is perfectly located for exploring the Black Isle. We loved it and hope to return (ps the local honey from next door but one is fantastic)

Avochs’ Wee Gem

Brilliant stay, clean, comfortable, cosy and compact, home from home. Owners attention to detail is instantly obvious. The welcome pack represents an exceptional attention to detail and hospitality. Wonderful accommodation, we highly recommended it.

Beautifully presented.

A lovely location with harbour views. Beautifully presented with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a welcome hamper. Avoch is within a cycle ride/walk, along an old railway track, to Fortrose and Chanonary Point via a coastal path, which eventually takes you to Rosemarkie and it’s beautiful walks and beaches. We thoroughly recommend Andrew and Lee’s cottage, They are wonderful hosts. Thank you.

Window to the sea

Iovely apartment with a perfect view to Avoch Harbour. Nice and responsive landlord. For 2 meter guys the ceiling feels quite low. But most of the we spent outside in the Black Isle - a spot to relax and calm down.

A beautiful cosy cottage by the harbour.

The owners greeted us with a personalised basket of goodies which set our stay off to a great start. The cottage was warm and cosy, with all the home comforts you could need. It is in a great location, right opposite the harbour and convenient for exploring the local area. We had a great stay!
