view of farm and cottage

This purpose built holiday cottage was completed in May 2000 and has been finished to a high standard. It is situated on a hill farm in the Strathdearn Valley close to the River Findhorn, 12 miles south of the city of Inverness. The Millennium Cycle-way passes through the farm.
Due to the traditional and environmentally friendly methods of farming techniques practised and special habitats actively managed, the farm has a good and varied population of breeding birds (particularly waders). It is an excellent situation for bird watching with over 100 different species of bird being seen in or around its location. A list is provided in the cottage for those interested.

Due to the excellent location of this property
there is plenty to do and see no matter what your interests.

Inverness is an excellent shopping centre and now boasts a new swimming pool (the Aquadome) and Sports Centre. Inverness Museum is interesting to visit and will give some insight into what Inverness was like in years gone by. Adjacent to the Museum is the Art Gallery which has constantly changing exhibits. For the real 'tourist' there is always a trip to Loch Ness to try to spot that elusive monster!

However if you are the outdoor type there are all sorts of sports available in Aviemore. Loch Insh is worth a visit if you enjoy or would like to try water sports and then there is all the countryside around if you would rather a gentle stroll or some quiet fishing. Fishing permits can be purchased for locally stocked lochs where you can fish for trout.
There is a steam train running from Boat of Garten to Aviemore, and Carrbridge (only 7 miles from us) has its own adventure playground with water slides and outdoor centre to keep youngsters amused. Cawdor Castle and Culloden Battlefield are a short drive away.

The farm itself is ideally located for those who wish to go walking, cycling or bird-watching.
