Dallas is a large beautiful private country estate covering some 9,000 acres of heathery hills, woods, moor and farmland, lying in that fertile area neighbouring Inverness, warmed by the Gulf Stream, where the Grampian Mountains flatten down gradually into the long sandy beaches and secluded rocky coves of the coast of the Moray Firth.
Tucked away within the Dallas Estate, about 7 miles from Forres and 10 miles from Elgin, are two comfortable and cosy traditional stone cottages and one substantial farmhouse - modernised, but still with log-fires - where you can combine a wonderfully relaxed country holiday with the pleasures of an unspoilt coast only 20 minutes drive away.
The three properties (Woodbank, Dallas Farmhouse and Mulundy) are within a short distance of fishing (permits available). Visitors can walk for miles in relaxed surroundings over the estate, golf on numerous courses and with a car, visit a host of interesting places nearby such as Culloden, Cawdor Castle, Inverness, all the small fishing villages along the coast or the Whisky Distilleries that proliferate along the River Spey. Further afield, Loch Ness and Fort William, Ullapool, the famous gardens at Inverewe - even Skye for a couple of hours - can be visited. Inverness and Aberdeen airports are 40 and 90 minutes away respectively and car hire is available.
Heating in Mulundy is by open-fire and oil-fired central heating. Bed-linen & towels are available for hire. Pets under control are welcome.
