SHORT TERM LICENCE: HI-20018-F

Lovely 2 storey family home built in 1811 is located in the quiet village of Evanton, 1/2 a mile off the A9. Plenty of space both inside and out for up 6 people. The property was updated in 2017 keeping its homely feel of warmth and relaxation for a perfect quiet stay.
Situated central to the village and on the NC500 route. Amenities within walking distance. Perfect location, 16 miles from the Highland Capital of Inverness. The village has the backdrop of the breathtaking heights of Ben Wyvis and is a perfect base for traveling further afield, returning to the warmth and comfort of this well-maintained home.

The location and the house were outstanding. We are traveling to various locations in Scotland and this was our favorite due to the lovely and well equipped home and its location. It was an easy walk to get groceries and to access walks in the area.

The house was absolutely perfect for my family’s stay over Christmas. It was spotless, comfortable and very spacious. I loved the wine, chocolate and biscuits left alongside a Christmas card, that was very kind.

We had a great time here at this location. Only suggestion would be clearer directions on how to operate stove and provide some non-stick pans for quicker cooking & cleanup. Otherwise would recommend this place and stay here again! Thank you for a great stay in Scotland

We loved the location and our host recommended a fun local pub and restaurant. And a beautiful walk. It was an easy commute to the sights around Inverness. We couldn't figure out the clothes washer and she popped right over to help us out. A+

Beautiful village, spacious home

Donna was extremely responsive, going above and beyond by stopping by with dish soap, and shipping the shorts I left in a drawer (oops!). The place was perfect for my family and my mom--we all had the space we needed, and the walks suggested were just what we were looking for. Would not have discovered the Black Rock Gorge if not for staying here, and this is a memory we'll have forever. What an incredible place! Sweet town. Not a lot of places to eat, but we weren't there for that. Make sure to check out the community woods (friendly walkers in there) and The Storehouse. Perfect for exploring this region of the Highlands!

Lovely Stay in Evanton

Great spot that is in a quiet town but still close to Inverness, Loch Ness, Dornoch, etc. Donna is a great host and left plenty of info about local restaurants, etc.. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area!

Ein sehr schönes Cottage in den Highlands

Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was das Herz begehrt. Parken vor dem Haus auf der Straße stellte nie ein Problem dar. Es parkte dort niemand vor dem Haus. Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig ist, dass in keinem der Bäder eine Steckdose ist. Haarefönen stellt somit eine kleine Herausforderung dar.

Wunderbares Haus

Das Haus hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Es ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Lage an der Straße hat uns erst skeptisch gemacht, der Verkehr ist aber erträglich und stört kaum. Alles ist sehr schön eingerichtet. Der große Garten ist wunderbar, bei Sonne (in Schottland leider nicht so oft) kann man hier wunderbar und windgeschützt liegen. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben, allein, es fehlte die Zeit.

Couldn't have asked for more

We as family of 5 adults had a great holiday here. Never felt away from home and overall experience of staying was just too good. The walk in the woods, lovely community around, amenities at just 30 seconds walk,scenic view just outside the town and much more makes it an ideal place to stay. Thank you Donna, you are a great person and wonderful host!

Cute and quiet

This was our "home base" while exploring the highlands. It is about 20 minutes from Inverness. The place was so cute and clean and had everything we needed. The back garden area was a perfect place to enjoy a bit of peace after a full day of exploring. Highly recommended.
