Scotland self catering rental Peediequoy Cottage nr Inverness

Peediequoy Cottage
near Muir of Ord
Black Isle

Sleeps 6

Peediequoy is Orcadian (makes a change from Gaelic!) for 'little field' and this trim and immaculate detached house now stands on the field where the owner's daughter used to keep her pony. It has a truly ideal situation just a mile or so from the famous Tore roundabout (look out for red kites!), about 7 miles north of Inverness, from which excellent roads bear you off in all directions to Skye, Ullapool, John o'Groats, the Black Isle or Loch Ness.

The house itself is as excellent as its location, spacious, comfortable and superbly equipped, standing in a neat grass garden with ample off road parking, secure storage for bikes etc, patio area (furniture) and barbecue and with superb views across the fields to the Beauly Firth. The downstairs accommodation comprises sitting room, separate dining room with french doors to the garden, well fitted kitchen and shower room, while upstairs are three bedrooms and a further bathroom. You would be hard put to find a better appointed holiday home.

The nearest shops are at Muir of Ord (3m). Oh, and another example of Peediequoy's perfection - you are equidistant from the distillery at Muir of Ord and the Black Isle Brewery - do not go home without taking a case or two of their splendid brew!

Peediequoy is actually on the Black Isle, the peninsula between the Cromarty and Dornoch Firths. Here you will find quaint villages, (Cromarty in particular is quite lovely) sandy beaches and, of course, the prime dolphin watching site in Europe at Chanonry Point. For major shopping and all entertainments, Inverness is within a 10 minute drive. It's a city with a real buzz, great facilities and excellent eating places and from there you can explore along the Moray coast, or even dip into the central Highlands, Aviemore and the Cairngorms.

An hour's drive will also bring you to the mountains of Torridon and the west coast, so pack your boots. Walking, climbing, riding, golf, fishing, sailing, all activities are well catered for round Peediequoy.

Bed linen, towels, oil central heating and electricity are all included in the rental. Sorry, pets are not accepted and smoking is not permitted in the cottage.
