Very enjoyable stay - great location and the log fire was welcome after much of the daytime spent exploring the outdoors. Very spacious too.

Beautiful Cottage

How pleasantly surprised I was walking into this beautiful cottage.Everything was catered for. Everthing was to a high standard.I only stayed 2 nights would have stayed longer.Location was excellent and very quiet.The only advice I would give the host is to hold onto their cleaner . She did an excellent job.I will definitely return.

What a GEM!

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!
