The house is let as a whole, with one double and two twin bedrooms. There is a large, well-equipped kitchen and dining room with a lovely open plan sitting room with a log stove. There is a new hard tennis court you can use, and fishing is often available during May, June & July. Dalmigavie lies at 1200 ft, and is surrounded by miles of empty 'Monahdliath Mountains'. There is a long track from the house up the glen and then into the hills. During the Spring when birds are nesting, we ask guests to avoid walking on the open hill, especially with dogs. Almost every British bird of prey has been seen at Dalmigavie. David and Lorna Paton, look after everything at Dalmigavie, and have been there for 25 years. They live in a cottage close by.
Dalmigavie is 6 miles off the A9 near Tomatin. It is 40 minutes from Inverness airport, and 20 minutes from the station at Carrbridge. Two hours from Edinburgh. A car is needed, and the last 100m to the house is up a steep vehicular track. There are several good golf courses in the vicinity. The coast is 45 minutes away. The weather can be wild and cold, or warm and balmy, sometimes on successive days!
House rules: No dogs allowed in the house accept by prior arrangement. No smoking. Dogs to be kept on leads outside (sheep, deer, red squirrels) and nesting birds in the Spring - woodcock, curlew, oyster catchers, green plovers, grouse, amongst others.
Please treat the house, grounds, river and hills with care and respect. Once you cross our bridge over the river Findhorn into Dalmigavie estate you enter a little world of your own.
If you enjoy fishing, you can take a day or two of salmon fishing on 4 miles of the Findhorn at Dalmigavie at a cost of £55 per day. Rods are not provided. Let us know in advance in case it is already booked. We can take up to 4 rods at a time.

Wow! What a beautiful place to call home for a couple of days!! It was cozy and felt like home. Perfect for a family of four with teens! We enjoyed the views from the window and going for walks by the river. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area! It was well appointed with everything we needed and the wood burner was so cozy when it snowed a little :)
Very cozy place with a spectacular view of the valley. Nice and quiet with deer roaming the property. Close enough to Inverness but far enough in the countryside to relax.

Wonderfully equipped cottage in a beautiful remote location outside of Inverness.
Six of us (3 couples; same family) stayed in this cottage and it was perfect for us.
This location was stunning! We loved how off the beaten path it was and wish we could have stayed longer. I would highly recommend this location to families. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful estate!
This property was beautiful on the inside and out. Plenty of beautiful sites to see and explore. We had a fantastic stay. It was very clean, the shower was warm, and the fireplace was cozy. We would stay here again if ever in the area!
This property was simply amazing. The house has a lived in, homey feel and the views are breathtaking. We had a heard of local deer right outside our windows in the morning, and the property gives lots of opportunities for exploration with fishing and bikes right on the premises. We definitely hope to be back to this property in the future!
The house was cozy, warm, and big enough to spread out in. And it’s situated on a beautiful property - just gorgeous and so inviting for exploring. The owner came up to meet us the night we arrived - very nice and accommodating.
We couldn't have better things to say about this property. The drive in is a little tricky and small but beautiful. Goats everywhere, deer at dusk, peasants. It was the best. The cottage was comfy and cozy, we each had our own bathrooms which was so nice after staying in cramped hotels during our trip. We want to come again in a few years and highly recommend!
Stayed for three days to get away from it all and this place met all of our expectations. Surrounded by beautiful countryside right on the Findhorn river, nature all around us. Had the most relaxing time. The house is large but cozy, comfortable in every way, the bed we slept in, in the main room was the most comfortable I have ever slept in so had a good restful sleep. Host was lovely, discreet, and helpful. We would love to come back again.
Me, my wife and two small children (2 and 4) had a lovely time in the Keeper's cottage – the perfect size for a family of four set in a beautiful location with everything we needed for our long weekend away. The log fire was delightful (and well stocked with coal and wood) and the surroundings of the cottage were idyllic. Would definitely stay again!
Great location, stunning views and a very cozy living room. It was clean and warm and having an evening fire after a long walk in the woods felt like home. Would absolutely return.
Location is outstanding. Feel like in another world. Cottage is very cosy and very well furnished. Ideal for families specially with young children.plenty of out side place to walk run around or just sit down and relax .
Will definitely book again

Thank you for your welcoming review. I am so glad you had a relaxing time here and do hope you return in the future
We stumbled upon this property by accident and this turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Everything about the cottage was amazing. The place was extremely cosy and felt right at home. Will be definitely recommending this place to friends and family.
A very comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a beautiful location. We enjoyed several walks on the estate which provided amazing scenery from the top of the hills and down to the river, and we enjoyed seeing some of the wildlife in this area. Lorna and David were extremely friendly and helpful.

It was lovely to see you back at Dalmigavie again. Thank you for your positive review and hope to see you again in the future.
Quiet, peaceful, serene, beautiful slice of heaven in Scotland. The cottage had plenty of space, everything we needed & then some. Spacious rooms, great gathering place in the living room, all the amenities we needed. The host & managers were very nice, helpful, offering tips for walks, visits into town & more. Plenty of wildlife on walks of the property & great place to just soak in the views with your morning tea. Tomatin is a quaint, small Scottish town with a nice distillery & a cafe/store. We hope to return here in the future.

You must go here!
Awesome location, charming cottage for our group of 5. We had all the comforts of home in this highland retreat. Lorna, the caretaker, made us feel right at home. Short drive to Inverness and surrounding sights plus very secluded, nature filled area. We so enjoyed our stay. 5 stars.
