    It is a bit out of the way and requires a taxi to and from restaurants if you intend to enjoy wine with your dinner.

    Beautiful property with exceptional views. Lovely accommodations in the cottage. Perfect for our group of 4!

    The location was outstanding. Our hosts Alasdair and Dreisdre were amazing. They took care of all the details and even the little stuff like each of our individual preferences for breakfast!! Alasdair even printed and gave us a detailed itinerary and map for places to visit including the "secret" ones that are not part of the tourist traffic! My wife Monika liked a beautiful artefact in their house and Dreisdre actually gifted it to her!! This goes beyond anything that we could imagine. Our twin boys Jai and Veer also loved the place and fell in love with Scotland. We will come there again and again.

    The Old Drynie House is such a charming mansion, with so attractive a view of the Moray Firth glittering beyond its perfectly cured lawn and its majestic trees, that it would constitute a worthy destination in its own right. The house is warm, welcoming, perfectly equipped, immaculate. Deirdre and Alasdair were kind, friendly, thoughtful hosts. They gave us plenty of helpful advice and made us feel at home. It was a privilege to meet them.

    Nothing to mention here. We appreciated all of it, everything was perfect.

    Let me first mention our hosts, Deirdre and Alasdair: they do so much more than one would expect to be done for strangers like us! Starting with this amazingly good and abundant breakfast prepared and wonderfully served by Deirdre, moving to the detailed and very helpful information we got from Alasdair on what to visit in the region, continuing with the help to book restaurants, and I could continue for another hour. The rooms were very nice, the bathroom obviously recently renovated and the beds very comfortable. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

    Very good location, close to Inverness, but in a peaceful situation. Lovely grounds that you can walk around, as well as going down to the shore. The rooms were extremely comfortable, and we were made to feel very welcome by Alasdair and Deirdre. We felt that every need was catered for. Superb.

    Nothing! The only challenge was the single road that takes us to the house. Easy when you're alone, and a bit challenging when you meet other cars.

    The family suite was very large and made us all feel home. The bathroom was also very large and modern. Tea, snacks and water were provided daily as well as a "Just in case box" that proved to be useful. Breakfast was incredible! Very generous portions of high quality food and fresh fruits were served in a beautiful room by our host Deirdre. Alistair was extremely funny and gave us great pointers every morning regarding the attractions to see and roads to take. Our 3 night stay was perfect. There were clear signs to tell us where to go as soon as we got off the highway.

    We had booked a prearranged a tour and did not have our own transport. Because the property is amongst the beautiful forests it is preferable to have your own transport as Inverness is not within walking distance

    The property is situated in the most beautiful surroundings. It is very quiet and peaceful and our hosts were extremely helpful and hospitable. The breakfasts had a great variety , were delicious and the portions enough to laat you the day. The room is a good size with everything you need. We received fresh bottles of water every day and fresh milk for coffee and tea in the room.
