Inverness is known as the capital of the Highlands and Horseshoe Cottage has a perfectly capital position high on a hill with the panorama of the city, the Kessock Bridge and the Black Isle beyond. At New Year it provides a perfect view of the city's firework display!

While the city is just a few minutes' drive and the airport no more than 20 minutes away, its situation is one of restful peace surrounded by quietly grazing sheep and visiting deer. It has a small fenced garden and parking alongside. The house was once a 100-year-old steading and was used as a tractor shed. However, it has now been the subject of an impressive conversion and provides high specification, most comfortable holiday accommodation.

The charming sitting room has views across the fields to the surrounding hills from its large windows that also let in plenty of light. It is beautifully furnished and decorated in neutral, restful tones. A doorway leads through to the dining area of the excellent, well-equipped kitchen, which has all the labour-saving appliances that make your holiday as relaxed as possible. There is also a handy WC on this level, as well as cosy underfloor heating.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a double and a twin. The double room has a king-size bed and handy fitted wardrobes. There are also reading spotlights, so you will have no problem finishing your novel before you drift off to sleep. The twin bedroom, which can be converted to a double, has a cute little shelf above the bed with some cuddly friends for any young children in the party. The bathroom has a combined bath and shower, so all tastes are catered for when it comes to bathing.
