About this property

Traditional stone built cottage, beautifully renovated,uninterrupted Sea view

Converted in May 2017, Shore View cottage is ideally located in a small village near Inverness, and has been renovated to the highest standard. The Cottage has interuppted views over the Beauly and Moray Firths which are home to a school of Bottlenose Dolphins.
The Cottage is very tastefully fitted with high quality flooring and furniture complete with a wood-burning stove.

Being by the sea, there are lovely beaches nearby and the city of Inverness is just 10 minutes away - you can go there by a regular bus service if you want to leave the car behind. Close to the cottage is the Dolphin and Seal Centre where you can find out all about these amazing mammals and even listen to them 'talking' to each other on the hydrophones - an incredible experience. The village of North Kessock has a pub and shop, all within easy walking distance.

Loch Ness is 30 minutes away if you want to explore this beautiful loch and perhaps take a boat trip and try to catch sight of the infamous monster! There is lots to do in the area: dolphin cruises on the Moray Firth, a pony trekking centre 10 minutes away, lots of restaurants and traditional live music bars, the Black Isle Wildlife Park and golf courses at Inverness and Fortrose. This is a lovely cottage for a highland holiday.

Perfect North Kessock Stay!

Our desire to be near water but close enough to local sights was met beautifully at Hazel’s cottage! So well appointed and kept, we enjoyed our time (albeit too short!) and terrific memories made!

A lovely cottage by the sea

The cottage is absolutely lovely and I wish we could have stayed longer. Hazel Bell is very responsive. The house provides all you could wish for, including the opportunity to sit out (even in a cold drizzle) and look at the sea. Our stay was short, but we loved every minute of it.

Beautiful home and location

This is a fantastic home to stay in. It is well laid out with comfortable, cozy rooms. The kitchen was very well stocked and clean. The bathrooms had plenty of towels and varieties of soaps and lotions and shampoos. Just really nice. We ate at the hotel down the street and had an excellent meal, at Hazel’s suggestion. The views of the firth were lovely. Highly recommend!

Excellent Property

Can't begin to say how much we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage by the bay. We didn't lack for anything, attention went into every detail was so appreciated and thoughtful. The location is a real plus - easy access to points north and west, plus into Inverness. The view from the front rooms is exceptional. Christina

North Kessock Dream cottage

Hazel has maintained and decorated her property to the highest standards. Everything you could possibly need has been provided. The location is superb-just what we hoped it would be. Access was so easy and Hazel personally welcomed us. Our only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. If we ever get an opportunity to visit this area again we will definitely book here and stay longer.

Such a wonderful time spent here at Hazel’s cottage! Everything was top notch! The decor, the provided amenities, the box of chocolates that welcomed us♥️. The village provided beautiful views of the loch, delicious meals, and pleasant strolls. I’m already planning a return to Hazel’s cottage. And what a sweetheart she is!

great communication with host before and during visit. The location is as pictured, right on water and amazing sunrises and sun sets. House and room pictures and description were accurate, full kitchen, with master en suite downstaris and other bedrooms and full bath upstairs worked perfectly for our group of 4 (spouse, brother and sister-in-law), we used the third bedroom upstairs with two twins for our luggage. Nice restaurant (good food, we ate dinner there three times), small grocery store and shops within a few minutes walking distance. Good location just outside of Inverness city center with easy access to areas of interest including Loch Ness, salmon fishing and Highlands. Had one issue with understanding Scottish dryer and Hazel was on phone quickly and talked us through it (who knew there would be a water basin that needs to be emptied in bottom of a clothes dryer?). Would defineately stay again if /when we get back to Inverness.
