Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Conon Bridge, Northern Scotland

Surrounded by breathtaking Ross-shire countryside, this beautifully-presented property is perfect for family getaways. Set on a working farm, the cottage enjoys views towards Ben Wyvis and the Cromarty Firth, with wonderful walks on the doorstep and the modern city of Inverness just 12.5 miles away. After a long and tiring day, return to this spacious cottage for a cosy night in the open-plan living area or an al fresco dinner on the patio.

Finished to an impeccable standard, this spacious property boasts light and airy rooms, wooden flooring, oak furniture and tasteful neutral decor. Downstairs, a fabulous open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the perfect space for entertaining. Many hands can make light work of mealtimes in the oak fitted kitchen, which offers ample preparation space and is fitted with a large range oven.

Dine at the oak table nearby before sinking into the fantastic sofas in the lounge area beyond, where you will find a TV, stereo system and plenty of games to keep you entertained. Also on the ground floor are two twin bedrooms with an interconnecting door, perfect for children, plus a bathroom with bath and separate shower and handy utility room for drying off those muddy boots. Heading upstairs, the king-size bedroom is located in the eaves of this cottage and benefits from plenty of space, light and an en-suite shower room.

Outside, a patio area with garden furniture enjoys breathtaking views across spectacular countryside as far as the eye can see. With a lawn beyond, this is the perfect place to enjoy an al fresco glass of wine while children play safely nearby. There is a handy shed for storing bikes.
