Converted in May 2017, Shore View cottage is ideally located in a small village near Inverness, and has been renovated to the highest standard. The Cottage has interuppted views over the Beauly and Moray Firths which are home to a school of Bottlenose Dolphins.
The Cottage is very tastefully fitted with high quality flooring and furniture complete with a wood-burning stove.

Being by the sea, there are lovely beaches nearby and the city of Inverness is just 10 minutes away - you cango there by a regular bus service if you want to leave the car behind. Close to the cottage is the Dolphin and Seal Centre where you can find out all about these amazing mammals and even listen to them 'talking' to each other on the hydrophones - an incredible experience. The village of North Kessock has a pub and shop, all within easy walking distance.

Loch Ness is 30 minutes away if you want to explore this beautiful loch and perhaps take a boat trip and try to catch sight of the infamous monster! There is lots to do in the area: dolphin cruises on the Moray Firth, a pony trekking centre 10 minutes away, lots of restaurants and traditional live music bars, the Black Isle Wildlife Park and golf courses at Inverness and Fortrose. This is a lovely cottage for a highland holiday.

    great communication with host before and during visit. The location is as pictured, right on water and amazing sunrises and sun sets. House and room pictures and description were accurate, full kitchen, with master en suite downstaris and other bedrooms and full bath upstairs worked perfectly for our group of 4 (spouse, brother and sister-in-law), we used the third bedroom upstairs with two twins for our luggage. Nice restaurant (good food, we ate dinner there three times), small grocery store and shops within a few minutes walking distance. Good location just outside of Inverness city center with easy access to areas of interest including Loch Ness, salmon fishing and Highlands. Had one issue with understanding Scottish dryer and Hazel was on phone quickly and talked us through it (who knew there would be a water basin that needs to be emptied in bottom of a clothes dryer?). Would defineately stay again if /when we get back to Inverness.

    This host thought of everything! It smells and feels almost like a spa retreat! The home is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable, and beautifully located with water views. The proximity to Inverness if perfect. Highly recommend this home!

    We had an amazing stay at Hazel’s Sea Cottage. Everything was better than expected. Wish we could have stayed longer. We will most definitely stay here again if ever back in Inverness.

    Hazel was great, easy to communicate with and was there to settle us in at check-in. The location can’t be beat. Our favorite place so far on our Scotland trip.

    Hazel was a wonderful host! She came around to check that every thing was going well and to see if we needed anything. The home was spotlessly clean and was in a quiet but beautiful location. The little pod outside was a bonus to sit and have a coffee in the morning or decompress prior to bed. There was a little basket of snacks which was a welcome surprise. Kitchen was well stocked with all appliances, dishes, cutlery and spices and condiments. Location was easy to travel back into Inverness, or venture out on day trips. There is small shop just a short walk down the road for anything you might need. We would highly recommend Hazel's place for anyone wanting a perfect home in northern Scotland!!!

    This super clean cottage is decorated in a classical style. Comfortable bedding and linens. We thoroughly enjoyed a drink and appetizer in the “Pod” while watching a stunning Scottish sunset. Hazel promptly communicated through email and we were sorry our schedules didn’t allow us to meet. Meals at the Hotel North Kessock and White Cottage were delicious, reasonably priced, and serviced by pleasant staff. Thank you, Hazel!

    This property was the best vrbo we have ever stayed at. Good location. Good view. Well furnished. The “pod” outside was a fun addition. Loved our time here.

    Can't begin to say how much we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage by the bay. We didn't lack for anything, attention went into every detail was so appreciated and thoughtful. The location is a real plus - easy access to points north and west, plus into Inverness. The view from the front rooms is exceptional. Christina

    Pictures do not do this beautiful cottage justice. It is in the most perfect location and Hazel is the most outstanding hostess who has thought of all of the details. I would not hesitate to book this proprerty.

    Our desire to be near water but close enough to local sights was met beautifully at Hazel’s cottage! So well appointed and kept, we enjoyed our time (albeit too short!) and terrific memories made!
