What our guests say…

Without question this is a wonderful place to stay. You can't beat it for total peace & quiet, but convenient for Inverness or touring Westwards or further North. Marvellous wildlife & birds in the grounds. At certain times there are seals in the bay when the tide goes out. We especially love the Geese visiting the opposite shore in the evenings. Glorious sunsets looking over Ben Wyvis. A walk through the Ormond castle forest track & the Redwood trees on Rosehaugh estate is a must. Can't wait to go back!

"We had a fantastic stay. I did a lot of research for a cottage where we could take Martha our young Labrador along but was not a typical "dog friendly" cottage. i.e. I wanted a "home from home" place that wasn't all cheap furniture and throws and Roebuck definitely lived up to my expectation. The location was amazing with walks right from the door and the water front just a couple of miles away. It's never too cold for a Labrador dip in the water even in the north of Scotland."

"We really enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of being at Roebuck Cottage once again. It was so different from our last stay at Roebuck! The weather was very good for this time of year and It was lovely to see the autumn colours appearing in the countryside. We had a lovely holiday as we did earlier this year at the Boathouse and previously at Otter Lodge in October last year. We look forward to many more visits."

"Roebuck Cottage could best be described as "magical". A lovely retreat to take in nature, recharge, and get invigorated. Perfect for exploring the Black Isle and parts nearby. Even took a day trip up to John o' Groats, Dunnet Head and Thurso which was a beautiful way to see lovely portions of the Highlands. Our stay was superb. We had a party of four and with two and half baths, there was never a problem with morning showers or using the facilities. Idyllic all around. Highly recommend."

"Roebuck cottage was simply a home from home. It was clean, spacious and literally had everything we needed for a family of 5 and a dog. The view is to die for. We would loved to stay again next time we visit Scotland. Thanks Christina "

"Roebuck is in a quiet, secluded position with a delightful outlook. There is an abundance of wildlife in the neighbourhood and pleasant walks from the doorstep. It is a 5 minute drive to basic supplies and takeaways, 10 minutes from a range of good produce outlets, restaurants and a selection of coastal walks. Being on the Black Isle sunshine hours are much higher than the national average. The accommodation has comfortable, spacious bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen and warm, bright living areas. Access is easy and parking at the property, making it a very relaxed retreat."

"This is a beautiful, peaceful place that let us enjoy the Highland countryside - from the pheasants to the scenery! We enjoyed the layout and the ability to accommodate a 3rd child in the one room. Having 2 full bathrooms and a half bathroom was a pleasant surprise for us."

"Great location, amazing view across the bay, just up from the beach with the sounds of the seals and the sea birds reaching up to you as you eat outside on the patio area. Pine martens, deer and red squirrels in the woods around the cottage and only a few miles away from Inverness and little coastal villages. The inside of the cottage is very large and has everything you need in it. Highly recommend it!"

Cancellation Policy
The Holidaymaker is liable for the total hire charge unless written notice of the intention to cancel the booking is received at least eight weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday. The deposit paid to confirm the booking, and other monies paid, will only be refunded if the Owner is able to re-let the holiday cottage for the period of the holiday let. In the event of re-letting, the Owner will retain the sum of 100GBP to cover administrative costs and (subject to deduction of that sum) refund to the Holidaymaker the balance of monies received from the Holidaymaker, or the sum received from re-letting whichever sum shall be the lower. Every effort will be made to re-let a cancelled booking, but the Holidaymaker is advised to take out holiday insurance to cover that eventuality.
