Driving up the driveway seemed to go on forever. When we saw the yellow door, we realised we weren’t lost. What a beautiful peaceful location. The accommodation catered for our needs. We have two very loud autistic children and they were able to express themselves fully to the sheep. Unfortunately the deer only came out while they were asleep but we got a chance to see plenty. It was a great place to use as a base and tour the area. There is definitely plenty to see and do.

Stunningly remote

We used Moalnaceap Cottage as both a base for exploring the Highlands and as a cozy retreat in itself for our honeymoon. It's a fantastic, well-maintained property with charm and privacy. We adored our time in Crash of Aigas and are already planning a return trip!

Beautiful and peaceful

We had a wonderful stay in this cottage at the top of the mountain. The home was comfortable, homely and well presented. Loved the views, the wary sheep, walking in the surrounding areas, the enclosed fireplace and the silence. Would highly recommend.

Wondeful, Unique and Silent

Wonderful stay in the most unique location. The silence in the evenings was second to none, great walks in the forest (are these old mountain bike tracks?) amazing wildlife (golden eagle spotted) and most interesting historical area. Deli in Beauly was delish!

Peaceful and restorative

The cottage is obviously well loved and has a marvellous feel. And location! Furniture is comfortable, kitchen has what you need (and the slow cooker was very handy!) The host was very quick to respond when we had an issue (which was dealt with efficiently and effectively). We would happily stay again!

What a view!

A cosy cottage at the top of a hill surrounded by woods and fields. The first drive up the hill might be an experience but then one gets used to it (just take your time). Moalnaceap has everything you need to enjoy your stay and is a great place to tour the Highlands: Inverness, Loch Ness, the Black Isle, Glen Affric, Ullapool and Assynt... There's so much to do and see!

Idyllic Solitude at Moalnaceap Cottage

Wow! As soon as we got here we instantly chilled. We’d already had week’s stay in beautiful Oban and thought we were pretty relaxed from that but Moalnaceap Cottage took it to another level. The peace, the views, the solitude and even the weather (we got suntans) made this the best holiday we’ve ever had. Beauly is lovely with the friendliest people and service you’ll get anywhere in the world. Really sad to leave; really looking forward to coming back.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

With the cottage being in a commanding position on the fringe of Aigas Forest with no neighbouring properties in view, it offers a perfect place to enjoy the rich wildlife, such as deer, badger, pine martins, red kites and perhaps you will be lucky enough to see a peregrine or osprey.

Beauly offers enjoyable local amenities and Inverness is about a 25 minute drive a way for a great day out.

Keen walkers and outdoor types will be pleased to discover the unlimited local forest and hill walks available in the area and can start from your doorstep.

Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle are about a 40 minute drive away or take a road trip to the Isle of Skye.

Glen Affric is a short drive way, one of the most beautiful glens in Scotland.

Golfers have the convenience of Aigas Golf course whose Club House is situated no more than 1.5 miles away, where you can enjoy refreshments after a round on their attractive fairways.
