Seaside cottage by a sandy beach - dolphins, golf, near Inverness and Loch Ness

Recently renovated comfortable two bedroom cottage with a spacious garden with views of the sea and a sandy beach which is less than a minutes walk away. Watch out for the wild water swimmers every morning. Rosemarkie Golf course is five minutes walk away.

The Boathouse has a brand new contemporary kitchen, sofas, beds, decor and soft furnishings.

Peaceful relaxing area on the edge of Rosemarkie with its local amenities, cafes, restaurants and tourist attractions. Beautiful walk along the beach to Chanonry Lighthouse where the dolphins can be spotted daily as they swim up and down the Moray Firth.

All the amenities of the city of Inverness are only 20 minutes drive away with shops, restaurants, cinema, theatre and tourist attractions nearby e.g. Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, local Distilleries, Culloden Battlefield and much more.

The stunning west Coast of Scotland, the North Coast 500 and world famous golf courses and fishing are all easily accessible from the Black Isle.
New listing of an established and popular holiday home with many repeat customers.

Had a fabulous stay, location excellent, property clean, modern and well equipped. Saw dolphin's from lounge window, although a walk to Chanonry point is best. Excellent communication from Carol. Would recommend for a relaxing break on the Black isle.
