Superb position by the sea, Fortrose and Rosemarkie have all the shops you might need.
The Black Isle is a new area for us, chosen for its reputation as a bird watching site. The incoming winter migrants are spectacular and the coastline beautiful. The area is also historically significant and interesting. Braefoot cottage is ideally placed to make the most of a relaxing holiday.

An easy 10/10
Quite simply a perfect break. We had a minor issue with a fitting on arrival but OOH customer service is excellent and someone attended very quickly and sorted it all out within 5 mins of arriving at the cottage! The cottage is beautiful with lots of fabulous design touches inside - I liked the art and the kitchen chairs. The Moray Firth is right outside and it’s a stunning 30 min walk to Chanonry Point - one of Europe’s best dolphin spotting places. We weren’t disappointed and saw them 5 out of 6 days on our stay. Very, very good food. We had both a coffee break and an evening meal at IV10 and also really enjoyed the freshly baked sandwiches from The Bakhoos (especially the cheese!). We had haddock and chips from McGintys one evening - I think that’s their name - and the batter was lovely and crispy. Usually it takes a couple of days to settle into a holiday after work, but even half an hour into the stay I was so relaxed watching the lapping shore that I forgot everything. A couple of pointers - binoculars are a must! Also walk along the other side of the beach strip after Chanonry Point to Rosemarkie, where there are a further two cafes for sitting back and watching the sea. Just a perfect break if you need to escape and get back to simple things like walking and reconnecting with nature. We’re already considering another stay despite the 9 hr drive!

A gem
First class accomodation in a wonderful setting. The village is surprisingly able to support a variety of really good shops and cafe/restaurants/take aways. There are interesting walks and a perfect beach within 10 metres of the property. We had superb weather but there are lots of unspoilt villages with interesting museums. Don't miss Cromarty , the Nigg ferry and Pict Stones trail. Culloden and Cawdor Castle are both excellent. One of our most enjoyable holidays.

A sunny week in Fortrose
The cottage was absolutely perfect. Very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. Very clean and well maintained. The location was excellent, overlooking the shore and harbour. We enjoyed watching all the activities on the water from the garden and pottering about along the shore. Handy for the local bistro, pub and bakery and for walking to Rosemarkie and Avoch.
