Pine Cottage Easterton

Pine Cottage is one of three farm cottages by Easter Dalziel Farm, off the old road to Nairn. They're about ten minutes from Inverness. It's quiet here, out in the fields.

It sleeps six. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. It's got a 3 Star rating, so it's comfortable and clean. You can bring up to two dogs.

The layout is mostly on the ground floor. Two bedrooms and the main bathroom are down here, which is handy. The third bedroom is a twin upstairs. It's up a standard cottage staircase, nothing too narrow.

There's an open-plan living area with a wood-burning stove from the 1950s. It works well. The kitchen has what you need. The garden is shared with the other two cottages, but it's a big space that wraps around, so there are plenty of spots to sit. You'll see sheep and Highland cows in the surrounding paddocks.

You're close to the coast. The Moray Firth is less than a mile away. For a sandy beach, Nairn is a short drive. People often see dolphins from the shore at Chanonry Point on the Black Isle, which is about half an hour away.

Inverness has all the shops. Loch Ness is about ten minutes west of the city. If you're driving the NC500 route, you start right there. Going south, you can be in Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park in around forty minutes. To the east, the Speyside whisky trail is accessible.

There's a famous golf course, Castle Stuart Links, a few hundred yards from the farm turn-off. Plenty of other courses are nearby if that's your thing.

Facilities: parking for your car, WiFi, a washing machine, a TV. Bedding and towels are included. We can leave a cot and highchair if you need them.
