Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Alness, Northern Scotland

This quintessential Scottish property is an easy walk to the atmospheric shores of Loch Morie. It belongs to the stunning 19,000-acre Kildermorie Estate, an area of rugged hills, moorland, lochs and river, providing the perfect Highland getaway for a couple or young family. The cottage has been lovingly decorated in keeping with its surroundings.

It retains gorgeous period features, is snug with pretty furnishings and antiques, and the rooms are airy and light-filled, bringing the wide, sweeping atmosphere of the landscape in. Step into the cottage to discover the delightful living space, a calm, tranquil area with snug sofas for restful evenings discussing the day’s adventures. There’s even a bespoke, French-made sofa which converts into a set of bunk beds to accommodate young children.

The handy country kitchen is where you’ll create family meals to satisfy weary hikers, and you can head through into the pretty dining room to enjoy them, a peaceful space with light pouring through from windows at the front and back of the house. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a spacious double bed that can be separated into two twins if needed. The room is simple with romantic details and looks out over the incredible vista of the estate.

Outside the cottage, you can enjoy the grounds of the estate at your leisure, stepping out with your morning coffee or doing a spot of Highland stargazing before you head inside for a restful night's sleep.
