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.
Layout:
Ground Floor:
Comfortable and airy double bedroom, with king-size bed and plenty of hanging and drawer space. The windows run the full length of the room and looks over the veranda to the Goose burn, with the lake over to the left-hand side. The en-suite bathroom provides and electric power shower, wash hand basin, W.C., and heated towel rail.
The open plan dining kitchen has a table and six chairs; French door leads out to the deck with stunning views over the lake. The kitchen is fully equipped with fridge, freezer, microwave oven, electric oven and hob, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, washer/dryer.
A steep spiral staircase gives access to the Upper Floor:
The spacious living room boasts an original (over) 100-year-old fireplace (feature only) with hearth tiles, and the dual aspect windows gives the room considerable light. A door from the living room takes you onto the high-level covered balcony which runs along the front and side of the lounge area.
A second door gives access to the master bedroom, with king-size bed and ample hanging and drawer space. From here, a door leads onto the covered balcony and a casement window with deep sill looking out over the lake to the Douglas pines beyond the dam wall. The en-suite bathroom has a bath, separate shower, wash hand basin, W.C., and heated towel rail.
Outdoors is a covered upper balcony, and ground floor decking area with timber garden furniture views overlooking the lake, and ample car parking.
Caution: Due to the proximity of the lake, the high-level balcony, and the steep spiral staircase which gives access to the living room on the upper floor, we ask our guests to take extra care when staying in The Boathouse.
Heating and electricity included in your rental. We provide all bedding, bed linen and towels, TV, and WiFi (subject to fair usage policy).

This was my 6th stay I believe. I absolutely love it and the location and the wild life. The hose is beautiful.
It is a small moan but one that is reflected in the score. The seat I think is very tired now and truthfully uncomfortable. The windows were not very clean. I know it is difficult with the bats but lots of dog nose marks etc on door glass. Please do not take this as a moan but I would imagine other s may have seen the same.

My fourth fortnight spent at this beautiful, quirky property in a fantastic and peaceful location. Lots of great walks around the estate and surrounding hamlets and villages, without the need to get in the car. A big shout-out to the Housekeeper - the property has always been immaculate when I've arrived and to the estate staff, who keep the grounds immaculate and are very friendly and informative on the resident wildlife, fauna and flora. I can't wait to return again.

Accommodation was very comfortable, however you had to be careful ascending and descending the stairs. Stair surface was slippery.
Shower tray on the top floor was very slow to drain away.

Only small issue was that check out is 10am but the cleaners arrived at 9.20 making our departure quite rushed and stressful (not easy with a 6 year old) as the sat in the car on the drive while we were packing up - such a shame to leave such a beautiful place in a rush.

Another fantastic fortnight in this lovely 'cottage', located in a really beautiful and peaceful location. Already looking forward to the next time.
