One amazing anniversary trip!
My husband and I decided to go to Scotland for our 10th anniversary, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. I have heavy Scottish heritage through my maternal line, and have always felt drawn. Turns out even picking this place was a draw... There is a crest above the fireplace that said "MacDonald of Clanranald", which would have been started by the brother of my Glengarry line. It was meant to be! The views from Mor Carraig are awe-inspiring. We had incredible weather and loved the sunrises. We visited a lot of different places all over the Highlands. Being US travelers that are used to driving everywhere... It's a great jumping off point. The roads can be a little scary though. Mor Carraig itself was great. We enjoyed sitting in the conservatory, and the living room was very comfortable in the evening. The cooking supplies could use a refresh (pans, cooking utensils, pizza cutter), but otherwise the kitchen worked great. Something to note is that one of the pictures shows a dryer in the utility room, but it's not on the description and it's not there. That's my bad for not looking at the description closer... But just make sure you are prepared to hang your clothes! There's racks for that purpose, and we made use of the conservatory to help speed it up as well. We would most definitely stay again! Thank you so much!

Beautiful house & area
So homely, easy to relax here and whatever the weather there is always plenty to do. Walks are easy to access from the door, dolphins up the road, castles, waterfalls, fossil beach on the Black Isle and always reading or games in the conservatory. Inverness itself is so convenient but you feel as if you’re fully in the countryside. Our second holiday here and hopefully not our last.

Perfect Highland Holiday
We had the perfect family Highland holiday in Mor Carraig with our young son (1yo) and his grandparents (70s). The property is as described and the photos do not do the viewing justice. The owner was quick to respond to queries we had during the holiday. We are already trying to plan when we can return for another holiday there!

Lovely house, great views of Loch Ness and easy to get to local shops and Inverness. Only downside was the sofa and lounge chairs in the conservatory which need a good clean as they were quite dirty.

We loved our stay at Mor Carraig! Wonderful period house with bags of character. The view of Loch Ness from the sun room is unmatched. Very prompt and friendly responses from the manager when we needed him. Would definitely stay again.

A much needed break
The house is set in a private but not secluded position with excellent views over loch Ness towards the mountains. The conservatory might get a bit cold, it was the middle of winter after all, but the main house is cosy and warm with plenty of fuel for the open fire if you care to use it. The kitchen is well appointed and the utility room set out so washing cloths is easy. All in all, an excellent place to stay and recharge. Both the owner and property manager were easy to reach for the few issues that came up and things went very smoothly.

Serenity and Beauty at its Finest!
Our stay was exactly what we needed..tranquility, beauty and comfort! The cottage was perfect in every way, a cozy retreat away from the hustle of the city and close enough to be convenient. Comfortable beds and bedrooms, a nicely appointed kitchen and utility room, 2 bathrooms and a cozy living room and conservatory with awesome views makes this home 5 stars and then some! Thank you for letting us stay, we hope to be back someday soon.

We love this cottage. Tucked away up a private road, it's really quiet. You can spend time just watching the changing scenery over Loch Ness and the deers and the rabbits playing in the garden. It is so relaxing.

The property is lovely clean and cosy, the situation of the property is stunning surrounded by fields, trees and overlooking Loch Ness. We woke up to seeing deer in the back garden, absolutely beautiful place and ideal as near enough for going and exploring areas near by. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again.

It is such a shame that the owner had no pride in this property. It is a lovely place in an unrivalled position. Sadly when we arrived the place was dirty, the curtain in the bedroom was hanging off the rail, the bedding is old and lumpy. These are all thing easily put right if you have the desire to do so.
