Highly recommend Clematis cottage
Lovely cottage, plenty of room for the 5 of us, 2 really big bedrooms , our 15yr grandson was happy in the smaller 3rd bedroom, the bunk beds in there were full size single beds which is unusual. The kitchen and living room both good sized , really long garden, our boys loved the playroom at the bottom of the garden. Perfect location for shops cafes chippy and to visit Chanonry point,to see the Dolphins and Rosemarkie. There is a path opposite to Fortrose beach. The cottage was spotless clean and we wete left everything we could need and more.

Great Spot
Stayed here on our first night in Scotland while we where headed north and couldn't be happier. The place was clean and comfortable for our party of 7 total (4 adult and three kids). Great location and backyard. Met with our cousin and family nearby and backyard was nice to relax and hang out in. Wish we had more time here but had to travel on. Highly recommended if looking for a place near here. Owner also let me back after check out to use the bathroom. Thanks Again!

Outstanding
We had the best experience ever!
Property was outstanding from all points of view, well equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms, Super comfy beds and nicely decorated Bedrooms.
The garden was little peace of heaven.
You can clearly see that the owner put a lot of thought into decorating the house.
And the owner was unbelievable!
He helped chase after the driver after destroying our mirror while driving by and fleeing the scene, when we were doing the checkout.
A real life hero!
Thank you for everything!!!
Lovely property with every amenity provided. Great base to explore the attractions of the Black Isle. Simon is very quick to respond to any queries.

Wonderful Fortrose
Excellent - what can I say , arrived to the fire all laid for me to light and the heating on so the property was cosy. After getting lost initially finding the property the locals we’re more than helpful . IV10 the Bistro across the road , I wish you were across the road from me !! The Anderson , we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome . Simon our host , for coming out on New Years Day to enable the wood burner to stay on , amazing !!
The dogs loved it , the garden , the coziness of the fire 😊
It was escapism , relaxing , friendly , charming and we can’t wait to come back !!

Hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen
Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Über die Hintertür hat man sogar einen kleinen Garten. Die Betten sind fantastisch. Es liegt an der Hauptstraße von Fortrose ist aber trotzdem Nachts sehr ruhig. Der kleine Ort liegt am Meer und ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt um den Norden oder Inverness (12 km) zu erkunden. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war absolut problemlos und sehr zuvorkommend. Wir haben leider nur eine Nacht im Haus verbracht, können es aber uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.
