Holiday like the royals! The Scottish Highlands have long been a "holiday home" to The Royals. There is a reason for this.

The natural light from the many windows and skylights in Dormie Cottage provides a light and comfortable feel, but also a cosy and warm environment. Lovingly remodelled in a contemporary traditional style, you are sure to feel right at home.
When the Scottish weather permits, enjoy outdoor dining by blending the indoor/oudoor living spaces by opening the large patio sliders of the living room to the backdrop of your large lush back garden and private patio area.
In the colder months, make sure you grab a bunch up of our freshly cut logs from our stacked and stocked log shed....prepare the fire, and cozy up for a relaxing and memorable night! The sound and smells of a crackling log fire are unbeatable and just one more reason why you should chose Dormie Cottage for your stay.

Summary: We loved everything about our stay at Dormie Cottage! It was perfect for us and the best part was the fireplace! This is a great place for two adult groups traveling together as the bedrooms are very private and on opposite ends of the house. It is accessible, has two great bathrooms with a full stocked kitchen. It has a great living area, both inside and out. It was so nice on a chilly day to roam the Scottish Highlands and return to a large kitchen and a warm fireplace! The house is set back from the road and is very quiet and peaceful. If you have the chance, book this place! You won’t be sorry!
