“Great place to stay.”

Only a couple of minor things that need fixing. Slightly leaking tap in the kitchen and new rubber seal in sink plug in bathroom otherwise everything was terrific

“Just spent a lovely week in Pebbles Cottage with amazing views over the Loch.”

The outside covered space with seating was great as the weather was hot (21c) and it provided us with shade during the midday heat. The owners dog, Jura, would visit every day and we had a lot fun playing out on the front grassed area with the dog and her toys. The Cottage was very clean and tidy and the walk in shower was lovely. Plenty of walks around the area and the drive up to Strathconon on Sunday morning was breath taking with lovely scenery. Looking forward to a return stay soon. Allan and Marina

“We were a family of 4 with one of my son in a wheelchair.”

We had a good time at Pebbles cottage. The location was great, along the scenic Loch Achilty. The access into the cottage was slightly difficult for a wheelchair, but the cottage is not designed or advertised as a Wheelchair friendly one, however we liked the location so decided to go for it and managed. The property was in clean condition, the owner was very friendly and welcoming and gave us very useful suggestions about local areas to explore. She was quick to respond to anything we needed. Property is a great location for people with interest in fishing, and water adventure and for walking and exploring nature. Cottage did had some minor maintenance issues and kitchenware needs up keeping. As there were lot of dogs of guests as well as the owner around, when we visited, we had to cope up with the occasional dog mess, which could be helped with some gentle reminders for the guests to keep the lawn clean. Overall, we had a good time and would recommend.

“Very comfortable, nice and quiet, well equipped (and everything worked).”

Mrs Rose and Mrs Smith were very friendly and the location is an excellent base. The only minus was lack of mobile phone reception (although some may see that as an advantage

Ian September 2020

“The cottage is in a great location for visiting many scenic sites and is well located for some good hikes.”

It’s situation is rural but close enough to Dingwall and Strathpeffer if you need a supermarket or fancy a coffee, lunch or evening meal at the deli cafe in Strathpeffer. We had a great Staycation here and would recommend this cottage and its location. The WiFi works well and the facilities are comfortable and adequate.

- Jacqueline, August 2020
Steven August 2020

“We had fantastic holiday.”

Great setting right beside the loch. The kids spent hours swimming and playing in the loch and the grass area just outside the cottage. The owners were lovely and let us borrow their paddle board, bike and rowing boat. Would definitely go back again.

Neil October 2019

“Pebbles Cottage was perfect!”

It was clean, comfortable and cozy for me, my two children and dog. The location by the loch cannot be underestimated, it truly is stunning. Mrs Rose is great. She made sure we had everything we needed and nothing was any trouble for her. If you're looking for a peaceful break in a beautiful setting, I can't recommend this place enough.

. and we were all more than satisfied, the owner were very lovely and kind people. Will be staying here everytime we travel to Inverness area. Thank you so much for a more than perfect stay!

Neil September 2018

“Make sure you take a good stock of supplies with you,if you run out of something you will be better off travelling the extra distance to Strathpeffer as the local general store in Contin is extortionate.”

- Neil, September 2018
Keith August 2018

“Lack of shelving in the bathroom.”

No shaving point. Very cramped kitchen. Storage areas needed. No DVD player as stated. I would suggest that the hot water needs looking at. Far to hot and no warning of this above the sinks.

- Keith, August 2018
James June 2018

“My Friend and I had a wonderful holiday riding our motorbikes in stunning scottish scenery & glorious sunshine.”

The cabin provided the perfect location to stay giving us a choice of places to ride to. It's was clean comfy and well equipped apart from the bathroom which lacked shelves to put things on when washing or having a bath. The shower was ok but not very powerful. Parking was great for cars or motorbikes and we were made welcome on arrival & departure by the owners. Overall would highly recommend for a holiday.

- James, June 2018
Alexander May 2018

“I would like to say we were delighted with the facilities at the cottage, the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful.”

The setting of the cottage in front of loch was wonderful, the site was kept clean and tidy, we would recommend these cottages to anyone every thing was just perfect for us. Alex & Mary Stirling.

Hilary September 2015

“Liked sitting on the covered patio listening to.”

.absolute peace. We know the area well, having visited often since the late 1970s, but this lodge tops our list by a long, long way. The owners have a lovely light management touch - there if needed, otherwise discreetly absent. Delightful in all respects.

- Hilary, September 2015
Margaret July 2015

“We enjoyed the tranquillity of the setting of Pebbles Cottage and the space around the house.”

We felt relaxed and are currently planning on returning to the same house for next year.

Oliver August 2014

“This is really a gorgeous and calm place with a lovely loch in front of your door!”

Excellent accommodation and the location is ideal for everything; hiking and sightseeing because it is located near to the most lovely places and cities in Scotland. If you want to have calmness and nature as well as the possibility to see a LOT of other inspiring things in day trips - go for it!

- Oliver, August 2014
Ann June 2014

“Pebbles cottage was just perfect, a beautiful cottage overlooking a lovely Loch.”

Welcomed in the morning by hungry ducks wanting to be fed which of course we obliged. Accommodation was to a high standard and we wanted for nothing. The owner was on hand to help if needed and is a lovely lady with two adorable children. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting a super cottage in a lovely area. Look forward to our next visit.

About the location

STRATHPEFFER

Inverness 20 miles.

Often compared to a Bavarian Mountain resort, the picturesque spa village of Strathpeffer owes its growth to the discovery of water springs during the 1700s, and was declared in 1819 to be the healthiest drinking water in Britain! The original Spa Pavilion has been magnificently restored after a period of disuse and now serves as a venue for a variety of events, including concerts, dances, dramas and exhibitions. The former Victorian railway station, which in times past brought many visitors from near and far, has now been beautifully restored to house craft workers and their shops, and is also home to the Highland Museum of Childhood. Visit the restored Pump house (also a Tourist Information point), take a walk along a forest track, or enjoy the views from the nearby pictish hill fort at Knockfarrel. Whatever you decide there's plenty on offer for all the family.

Note: One well behaved dog only welcome at the property.
