About this property

Rural cottage in stunning location.

1 Tullochclury is a semi-detached house (owners next door) situated half a mile down a forestry track with walks, cycling and mountain biking from the front door!
This property is ideally placed for touring the Highlands with Inverness 12 minutes by car, and the Cairngorm National Park just minutes away.
The area is perfect for wildlife with many species of birds as well as red squirrels visiting the garden feeder. If you walk 300 yds along the track you come to the beautiful Moy Loch where you can have fun spotting otters and osprey competing for the trout.
The house is warm and cosy with central heating and a wood burning stove (wood provided) and so is comfortable any time of the year. There is a bathroom (with shower over the bath) as well as a wet room (shower only)
A short drive away Dolphins can be seen from the beach or there are Dolphin watching boat trips from Inverness.
Tomatin distillery is 3 miles away where tours of the distillery are well worth a visit.

An excellent place to stay from the cleanliness, the location, and general presentation of the property, let alone the occupants of the wood displaying in the garden every day! Very well hosted by Jon & Diana and their care for our wellbeing couldn't have been greater. Our only complaint, ... the double beds could be wider, but on the other hand, very good for close relationships!

Rest, walks and day trips in the Highlands

The home was comfortable, gracious and a perfect setting for quiet time, long walks and day trips to highlights of the Highlands. We visited Loch Ness, Dunrobin castle, Inverness and Aviemore, but also enjoyed the fields and trails available right out the front door. A lovely home ina locely spot.

The perfect holiday house in the highlands!We had the most wonderful stay at Tullochclury and can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The house itself is spacious and well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals, and the living areas were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The beds were comfortable, and the peaceful surroundings meant we slept better than we have in months!One of the highlights was the location. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a base for outdoor adventures, this place has it all.The hosts Diana and Jon were also outstanding: friendly, responsive and always available if we needed anything!Thanks again Diana and Jon for our very good holiday!

Dream Holiday

John and Di’s home in Loch Moy was the definition of a dream. The location is very central to many highlands landmarks and the home is the coziest long stay we have ever experienced. Our stay was peaceful and euphoric - between the wonderful views of the wee lambs and the beautiful landscape, we couldn’t have asked for a better place. John and Di are also a beyond lovely couple, they are kind and generous with their time (as we are yappers) and shared some great tips with us! The house is located on great walking trails dotted with so much unique flora and trees that we spent most of our days at the house in the brush, identifying flowers. We absolutely loved our time at John and Di’s and cannot wait to plan our next stay if they will have us! Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts.

Perfect Stay

The home was just as lovely as its description. Maybe even better. The hosts were welcoming and so sweet. Meeting our arrival with a welcome spread that was delicious, extra books to read and a fishing pole for our son who loves to fish. The house was very clean, which is important to us. The location was stunning and not too far from eating and shops in Inverness. Would definitely stay here again.

Very lovely cottage and lots of things to see around

If you love to be in the nature and to calm down - than this is a lovely place to watch wildlife (deers, squirrel, birds,.. ) and lots of sheeps with their baby lambs. The highlands with lots of possibilities are nearby, but also Inverness and the isles in the north. The owners John and Diana gave us a very warm welcome. Thank you very much!

Lovely home in nature

The home exceeded our expectations. It was so well equipped and in a lovely natural setting. The bed rooms were comfortable and perfect for our group. We were able to easily cook in the kitchen and the dish washer made clean up easy. My elderly mom enjoyed being able to sit in the sunny dinning room and enjoy the birds, squirrels and even a pine Martin in the back garden. We went for walks to the loch and watched the sheep and bunny’s in the field. The home is close to so many interesting sites. We went to Loch Ness, Culloden Moore, Cairngorm National park, Inverness. John was a friendly and host and made the stay very pleasant. I highly recommend this home and area for a visit.

Nestled amidst serene landscapes, the holiday property exudes an aura of pristine tranquility. Its meticulously manicured gardens and immaculate exteriors welcome guests with open arms, promising a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Inside, every corner boasts impeccable cleanliness, with polished surfaces gleaming under soft lighting. From the plush furnishings to the tasteful decor, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create an ambiance of understated elegance. Truly, a haven of beauty and serenity awaits within these walls. Jon was an exceptional host and was always a quick call away when needed. I would certainly visit again and recommend others to do the same if looking for a pleasant getaway/short break from your busy lives.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

I took months looking and thinking about where I wanted to stay. I saw maybe 30 that I thought might work. A short time before leaving I sat down and looked at all of them again and this one spoke to me as a top choice. I told myself "I am going to say yes and fill out the forms and if it comes back to me as available I am taking it" It came back a yes, and I could tell it was going to be good from the way the owner wrote back. Upon arriving, it was everything and more I could have wanted. We all loved every minute there. PS We are very seasoned travelers.

Fantastic Property

This is a truly impressive house. The short title of the listing is absolutely correct; it is a stunning location. You are practically in your own forest with a Loch just a minute's walk. There are lots of walks around the house, and it is completely peaceful. There is an abundance of wildlife in the garden, including pheasants, Red Squirrels and hundreds of birds. We also saw the odd deer and a couple of sheep (although the owner encouraged the latter to return to their field!). The house is an ideal base for the highlands. Inverness is 20-minutes away, which gives you access to Loch Ness and the Black Isle. You also have easy access to Speyside and the Cairngorms. There is so much to see around here. The house has everything you can possibly need. It is immaculate inside and Jon was incredibly friendly, making sure everything was fine for us. We will return to this house. We had an amazing time. It is a place that would be ideal to relax, but similarly is a base to do lots of exploring and then relax in the evening, watching the clouds go by and the colours changing as the sun sets.

Our Fabulous Highland Holiday

Arriving at Tullochclury we were greeted by wonderful Jon who kindly explained the ins-and-outs of the property to us (heating, Wi-Fi, the all important nuts for feeding the amazing wildlife in the back garden!). The property is spotless, wonderfully furnished and of a very good size. We thoroughly enjoyed curling up on the sofa after having lit the wood burner, and watching the red squirrels, chaffinches & pheasants in the rear garden. The house is in the perfect location, just far enough away from the A9 to enjoy that feeling of isolation but just close enough to enable easy access to all the amazing things you can enjoy in the area. We thoroughly recommend Urquhart's Restaurant in Inverness; a walk around Loch an Eilein; dinner at Muckrach Country House Hotel (as recommended by Jon, so a big thank you Jon!); river tubing with the Rothiemurchus guys and Chanonry Point for some dolphin watching. There's so much to do in the area it's crazy. We'd like to return and enjoy a distillery tour, the Strathspey steam railway, Fort George & kayaking on Loch Morlich for a start. Jon & Di are both wonderful, warm & caring hosts who furnished us with information about the many different activities available in the area, and who were always very helpful with any queries we had (including where the local Osprey might appear at nearby Loch Moy... and we saw one!). Ace holiday. Thank you Jon and Di. :)
