Fantastic House, really clean, spacious and extremely well equipped. The added horses and pony at the end of the very large garden was a real bonus. I had imagined the garden play equipment would be too small for my girls but my 10 and 12 year old seemed to enjoy it. The bedrooms were very large and comfy. 3 Bathrooms a real bonus when there are 4 females in your family.
The Sun room was delightful had many a morning coffee in there watching the girls in the garden with the horses. Also made a great place for the children to play games or do puzzles whilst the adults relaxed in front of the tv at the end of a busy day.
Good location for seeing the highlands, we visited Loch Ness, Landmark (just literally up the road) is a great outdoor adventure park for children of all ages.
Highlands folk museum a FREE attraction with lots to keep children amused, again only about 20 mins away.
We arrived on the day of the Nethy Bridge Highland Games which was terrific really bought the village to life, which although was great, did make the village seem a little flat when it was over. Nethy Bridge is a lovely quiet place, not much in the village to do, (although does have a very well stocked spar, and butchers) which for us was great, when we wanted adventure we hopped in our car and knew we had this lovely tranquil house to return to after all the hustle and bustle of the day.
I would recommend this house to anyone wanted to get away from it all in a lovely peaceful environment but being able to see the attractions the Highlands has to offer without having to travel too far.
If I had to find a fault it would be the shared access to the garage. We were unaware of this prior to booking and although not major issue could present a problem if you wished to garage your vehicle. However there is plenty of space on the driveway (we parked 2 large cars without no problems).
The only other thing was the football table being housed in the garage wasnt really able to be used, could poss be re-sited in the very lovely sun room.
Over all excellent house, good location and would love to come again.
