Beautiful and peaceful

We had a wonderful stay in this cottage at the top of the mountain. The home was comfortable, homely and well presented. Loved the views, the wary sheep, walking in the surrounding areas, the enclosed fireplace and the silence. Would highly recommend.

Wondeful, Unique and Silent

Wonderful stay in the most unique location. The silence in the evenings was second to none, great walks in the forest (are these old mountain bike tracks?) amazing wildlife (golden eagle spotted) and most interesting historical area. Deli in Beauly was delish!

Peaceful and restorative

The cottage is obviously well loved and has a marvellous feel. And location! Furniture is comfortable, kitchen has what you need (and the slow cooker was very handy!) The host was very quick to respond when we had an issue (which was dealt with efficiently and effectively). We would happily stay again!

A fairy place to stay

It's a beautiful cottage. The surroundings are magical. There are no sounds accept nature. You will see a lot of deer around the cottage en several birds of prey. The pigs near the cottage are a treat exspeciall

Country cottage experience

Road leading up to cottage required maintenance such as grass in middle of road poisoning/cut and overhanging trees cut back as they were scratching vehicle . Location is amazing lovely views .cleaning could be a lot more thorough but it was OK. For a house that accepts pets carpets not ideal wooden flooring more hygienic but that's just my opinion. Internal fixings and finishings need tidied up but overall it was a pleasant stay .loads of wildlife seeing red deer each morning and late evening and plenty of birds of prey. My small complaints wouldn't stop me booking this place again .

delightful cottage

Moalnaceap Cottage is lovely. It is truly on its own and the silence of the surrounding countryside is deafening!! It is very cosy and comfortable and we were blessed with beautiful weather too. Spotlessly clean throughout. When we arrived it was late afternoon but the cottage was warm and welcoming which is so nice after a long day driving. We had a lovely holiday staying here enjoying the peace, fresh air and views from our garden chairs and I suspect we will be returning. The track up to the cottage is to be approached with sensible driving but it was perfectly fine and we do not have a 4x4. Catriona's instructions were very clear on how to find the cottage even tho we doubted ourselves as we left the road behind us. The surrounding area is also beautiful and a treat to drive on such quiet roads. The bluebells in the surrounding area were as I remember from years ago when they covered woodland and ground in abandon and seemed to go on and on (and I'm not that old!!) Beauty is a very nice town and has some very individual shops which are great to browse in and then have lunch in the local deli (Gluten free cakes and lunch available if required) watching the world go by. I would highly recommend this very comfortable cottage. Julie, Steve and Percy the labrador May 2019

Driving up the driveway seemed to go on forever. When we saw the yellow door, we realised we weren’t lost. What a beautiful peaceful location. The accommodation catered for our needs. We have two very loud autistic children and they were able to express themselves fully to the sheep. Unfortunately the deer only came out while they were asleep but we got a chance to see plenty. It was a great place to use as a base and tour the area. There is definitely plenty to see and do.

Stunningly remote

We used Moalnaceap Cottage as both a base for exploring the Highlands and as a cozy retreat in itself for our honeymoon. It's a fantastic, well-maintained property with charm and privacy. We adored our time in Crash of Aigas and are already planning a return trip!

Remote and peaceful

Lovely cottage but quite remote, up a very long gravel track. Thank goodness for google maps! The cottage itself is ample in size for 4, apart from the kitchen, which is tiny. It was fine for cooking pizzas, or a one pan meal, as we were just there for a weekend, but we’d have struggled to cook for a whole week. There is no wardrobe in the twin bedroom, so we had to use the back of the door for hangers taken from the double room wardrobe. The mattresses on the single beds were good quality but haven’t been turned so they dip and slope quite steeply, meaning we could only really sleep in one position; if you turned over you ended up rolling down the slope! The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped with a highchair and stairgate for our toddler, and a disabled friendly fold down stool and handrail in the shower. Communication from owner and cleaner is excellent. The cottage suited our needs perfectly for a weekend visiting family.

What a view!

A cosy cottage at the top of a hill surrounded by woods and fields. The first drive up the hill might be an experience but then one gets used to it (just take your time). Moalnaceap has everything you need to enjoy your stay and is a great place to tour the Highlands: Inverness, Loch Ness, the Black Isle, Glen Affric, Ullapool and Assynt... There's so much to do and see!

Wunderschöne Lage

Die Lage ist einfach wunderschön und man hat keine unmittelbaren Nachbarn. Genau wie wir es wollten. Einzig der doch etwas dolle Hundegeruch von den Vormietern hat uns manchmal etwas gestört. Aber da Haustiere erlaubt sind kann das kein Minuspunkt sein.

Disgusting cottage- PLEASE STAY AWAY

On arrival the smell on opening the door was disgusting, floors dirty, kitchen filthy, kitchen pots,pans, plates, cutlery absolutely disgusting not been washed, kids bed had blue throws over them that were covered in dog hair and the same room had bugs crawling over the walls, had to clean the place before letting our children in and the next morning we have to leave when my son woke up with ticks that had bitten into his stomach so stays for about 20hours instead of 4 days and the owner doesn’t care and told me if I contact her again I would get reported for harassment. I would give it a zero rating but doesn’t have that option. Please STAY AWAY FROM THIS COTTAGE. Definitely one for environmental health to visit. No refund offered so had to go through my bank

Unieke plek!

Heel fijn verblijf gehad in dit huis op een prachtige locatie. Zelfs herten gezien laat op de avond. Mooi schoon huis wat van alle gemakken voorzien is. Niet super luxe maar voor ons meer dan fijn! Locatie is uniek. Weggetje naar het huis toe is ietwat stijl en was met de motor een beetje een uitdaging. Gelukkig had het al enige tijd niet geregend. Wij gaan zo weer terug!
