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.
Otter Lodge is an imposing stone building set in the valley below the lake, close to the Horseshoe Falls. It used to be the ‘Powerhouse’ power generating station supplying electricity to the Estate, and the water which used to power the turbines can still be seen running beneath the house, through the viewing window in the living room floor. Derelict and roofless for many years, Otter Lodge was lovingly restored and is now an elegant and luxurious self-catering holiday home. It has two bedrooms (one king and one twin) and two bathrooms, sleeping four guests. Accommodation is entirely on the ground floor, making it accessible for those with limited mobility.
Layout:
Entrance Hall leads into an expansive living / dining room with dramatic high vaulted ceiling, giving an extra sense of spaciousness to an already large room, which provides a lounge area around the feature fireplace. The huge Gothic window with window seat is a lovely place to sit and admire the stream flowing beneath the house. Furnished to an impeccable standard with large comfortable sofas, and dining table and six chairs.
French doors lead out to the patio area with outdoor / garden furniture.
The kitchen is fully equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The window at the end of the kitchen looks across the Goose burn to the bluebell wood - a special delight around May time.
The master bedroom is spacious with a king-size bed and plenty of hanging and drawer space.
The en-suite bathroom encompasses a bath, wash hand basin, and W.C.
The twin bedroom comprises two single beds, and plenty of hanging and drawer space.
The second bathroom contains a shower, wash hand basin and W.C.
The outside area has a patio with timber garden furniture, and ample car parking.
