We got lucky with the weather and could enjoy the magnificent views up and down the Moray Firth, either from inside the accommodation or from the benches overlooking the water.For the two of us it was comfortable and well equipped with friendly hosts on call if needed.

A lovely apartment with great views. In a remote location, a short drive from Rosemarkie. The owner has ensured it is well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a short stay. Well worth a visit.
