Lovely 2 storey family home built in 1811 is located in the quiet village of Evanton, 1/2 a mile off the A9. Plenty of space both inside and out for up 6 people. The property was updated in 2017 keeping its homely feel of warmth and relaxation for a perfect quiet stay.

Family trip

This was a lovely house in a picturesque area of the highlands. Perfect for our stay. It was 25 minutes from Inverness. We were able to see many of the beautiful sites in the highlands. Definitely worth the stay.

Couldn't have asked for more

We as family of 5 adults had a great holiday here. Never felt away from home and overall experience of staying was just too good. The walk in the woods, lovely community around, amenities at just 30 seconds walk,scenic view just outside the town and much more makes it an ideal place to stay. Thank you Donna, you are a great person and wonderful host!

Splendid Evanton

Our family loved our stay on Balconie Street. The house was thoughtfully appointed and anticipated our every need. We loved the nearby restaurants and village shop. The walks through the forest were glorious, particularly the view of the gorge. We will certainly stay here again!

We had a great time here at this location. Only suggestion would be clearer directions on how to operate stove and provide some non-stick pans for quicker cooking & cleanup. Otherwise would recommend this place and stay here again! Thank you for a great stay in Scotland

Cute and quiet

This was our "home base" while exploring the highlands. It is about 20 minutes from Inverness. The place was so cute and clean and had everything we needed. The back garden area was a perfect place to enjoy a bit of peace after a full day of exploring. Highly recommended.
