A beautiful house in the most amazing location, right on a gorgeous sandy beach.
A beautiful house in the most amazing location, right on a gorgeous sandy beach.We had a brilliant time on our second visit to this house, with lots of time spent on the beach and watching for dolphins from the balcony, as well as on the brilliant Ecoventures boat trip from nearby (by small ferry) Cromarty.The house has everything you need and is so comfortable.

On the Beach is truly special.
On the Beach is truly special. The view from the upstairs lounge is mesmerising. Well thought out House for families with loads of space for everyone. To allow dogs is another plus, our 2 dogs were on the beach first thing with our grandchildren, simple pleasures but Shandwick beach is perfect, the noise from the surf calms the soul. Utter bliss. My 12 year old granddaughter loves up north as she calls it, we visit every year and can’t wait for next year.
