The Rosehaugh Estate is a private landed Estate on the south side of the Black Isle, well off the beaten track but within a short drive of Inverness. The estate offers two unique and historically interesting properties, The Boathouse and Otter Lodge, both beautifully renovated to provide luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in this lovely corner of the Highlands of Scotland.
The Boathouse stands on a hillside just above a small lake. It is a cantilevered, two storey oak framed building with a half-timber gable and pink Rosemary roof tiles. It has been beautifully renovated and sympathetically extended. Furnished to an exceedingly high standard and fully equipped to provide a truly exceptional and charming self-catering holiday retreat. This incredibly special cottage has two king, en-suite bedrooms, sleeping four guests.
