Self Catering Holiday Cottage in the Highlands of Scotland The cottage is in a small, quiet hamlet two miles up the hill from Evanton village. It is actually part of a converted farm steading consisting of ten cottages, all made of natural stone. Ours is the only one fortunate enough to have a vaulted ceiling and Juliet balcony on the first floor, where the lounge is situated. Bespoke wooden beds and shelves for bathroom basins. Fantastic kitchen with breakfast bar and en-suites with walk-in showers, and one with a slipper bath. A cosy courtyard with heating and lighting and a covered pergola. This is a great place to stay and use as a base to explore, or stop off for a few days while driving the NC500. Whilst our cottage sleeps 4 - one king-size room and one double room - we do have a single fold-up bed (which can be put up in the living room) and a travel cot - both are available upon request when booking. https://swordalestays.com ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33591700/33591604/bfbaae00.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Former Lodge House to Swordale Castle Dingwall - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 95 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=33591604&PinnedHotelID=33591604&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67440000/67430700/67430696/9bfd7f4f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Applegrove - Perfect and cosey 2 bed bungalow in the heart of Fortrose village Inverness - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=67430696&PinnedHotelID=67430696&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36160000/36156100/36156001/0279a5d1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Highlands Luxury Cottage on the Cromarty Firth Dingwall - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available - Fireplace 10 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=36156001&PinnedHotelID=36156001&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71150000/71143800/71143738/96b90af8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Character House in Muir of Ord Muir of Ord - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=71143738&PinnedHotelID=71143738&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100870000/100864200/100864167/302b55f0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kinkell Cottage, a true hidden gem with views to die for!
