Mor Carraig - Stunning Views Of Loch Ness - Perfect For Families And Couples

Mor Carraig is a traditional highland cottage, situated on an acre of grounds, with stunning views of Loch Ness and the mountains beyond. Dating back to the 1850's this cottage has been renovated and maintained to an exceptionally high standard making it the perfect holiday getaway for families and couples alike. Soak up the relaxed, friendly atmosphere of the Abriachan rural community with the knowledge that the amenities and convenience of Inverness, the highland capital, are only 9 miles away. Mor Carraig has a lovely cosy sitting room, perfect for a romantic evening by the open fire or for the family to enjoy spending time, just being together. Don't forget your bath salts and aromatherapy oils and experience the pure indulgence of sinking slowly into the large deep tub, leaving the stress of modern life far behind. The spacious, warm and comfortable bedrooms will welcome you to a perfect nights sleep and during the day you will be drawn to the splendid conservatory complete with lounge and dining furniture. There could be nowhere more perfect to have your breakfast and take in the magnificent views of Loch Ness. Morning Coffee will never be the same, enjoy a leisurely lunch or best of all, an evening sitting around the dining table with your family and friends chatting and at the same time being spoilt by the ever changing and never ending views. French doors from the conservatory take you to the garden, ideal for a relaxing afternoon, alfresco dining and the children will just love its freedom.

Roomy and Picturesque

The property is spacious and beautiful. The views are spectacular. The location is perfect for exploring the area and close enough to town in both directions to give you options for wating, shopping, and getting out. Local trails come near to the street the house is on making it easy to explore. We loved our stay.

Perfect Stay

We absolutely loved our week at Mor Carraig! We came to Scotland on holiday and this was the perfect home base for our adventures. The view was so lovely from the conservatory. We spent a lot of time in there, playing card games, sharing meals. The property managers were a pleasure to communicate with. The kitchen was well appointed. We would happily return anytime. Make sure to check out the trails just up the road. Dores Beach was stunning and would be a great spot for having lunch al fresco.

Great place to stay

The house was fantastic; we really enjoyed staying here. It was great to light a fire and play card games in the living room while it was freezing cold and snowing outside. The view was awesome. We had a little trouble finding the place in the dark, with signs covered in snow. Maps sent us a couple houses down, but it was a fantastic place to stay.

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!

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.

Superb location

Family home with all the necessary amenities. Plenty of room for everyone. The views from the conservatory are to die for, uninterrupted views of Loch Ness. The main sitting area with its panelled walls and open fire offers a cosy warm and feels very ‘Scottish’. The kitchen and utility room are large and have everything you need for your stay. Bedroom downstairs was very roomy, however the downstairs shower room has a high step into shower and we found it too high for my elderly mother. The owner is looking into redesigning this, to make it more user friendly. The two rooms upstairs are large and I must confess we moved the bed in our room to see the views when we woke up, rather than facing wardrobes. Plenty of wardrobes and drawers for clothes in both bedrooms. Bathroom is large, with a large bath and walk in shower. Garden front and back is large enough for for children and dogs to safely play as it is gated. Overall the home is perfect for visiting other areas. A car is essential here and in Inverness there are plenty of supermarkets. The owner is very prompt at replying to any problems. We noted in the conservatory three windows had blown spoiling the view, but I sent him a message and he thanked me and said he would get someone over. In fact I feel that unless to inform owners good or bad; things cannot be changed. You certainly cannot say this is not good value because it is. It’s warm, welcoming and homely. I would highly recommend it.

Unloved

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.

Beautiful Loch Ness

We spent 3 weeks at Mor Carraig over Christmas. The location is unbeatable. There were a couple of issues with the property that perhaps could be attended to and it would then be perfect!! There is only one full bathroom, the 2nd bathroom is just a shower cubicle with a toilet off the kitchen and cannot reasonably be classified as a 2nd bathroom and consequently all occupants need to share the one upstairs bathroom which in turn is problematic. The bedrooms are cozy but the beds in the two upstairs rooms are small doubles and my Husband is over 6 feet and we struggled to get a good nights rest. Just for maintenance the main oven door does not close properly and the oven on the right is not working or I couldn't figure out how to operate :)
