Bay Farm consists of two specifically designed self-catering holiday cottages, Roebuck Cottage and Swallow Cottage, and built on the site of an old farm steading in 2000. Overlooking Munlochy Bay on the southeast side of the Black Isle, the cottages command superb views across the bay and the forested hills and farmland on the south shore, with the mountains of Strathconon in the distance. Well off the beaten track, and in quiet rural surroundings but within a short drive of Inverness, Bay Farm is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Swallow Cottage is a delightful cottage that offers open plan, spacious and bright living accommodation.

Location is great (even the weather this time)
The only disappointment was one of the double glaze units at the front is blown, and hard to see through - needs urgent replacement. We come for the views of the Loch, sad to have to look through a faulty double glazed unit, luckily the weather allowed us to sit outside a lot. PS we will still be booking again for next year

The views are amazing the photos don’t do it justice. Home from home, love the welcome pack and there is everything you coul ever need. Spotlessly clean, loved the new carpet. We enjoyed the peace and quiet.
Happy with everything. Maybe a laundry basket for taking the washing to the be hung out.

Beautiful peaceful location a bird watchers paradise. Spacious accommodation which is always immaculate and comfortable. We've stayed at Bay Farm Cottages for many years now and have never been disappointed.
Some of the kitchen equipment is in need of updating e.g. can opener was blunt and didn't open cans, a selection of good quality knives for food preparation would be useful.

Stunning location. A minor problem was sorted out by friendly and helpful staff promptly.
The kitchen would benefit from a few cereal bowls

Sadly only a short break this time, but everything at the cottage was perfect. The cottage is always cozy & comfortable whatever the season. The Black Isle has its own climate and usually dry when its raining over in nearby Inverness. Most mornings we were able to sit out on the patio having breakfast at 7.30am listening to the geese on Munlochy bay. As it gradually gets lighter they take off in massive groups, they return again at dusk & it's magical being so close. We had a fantastic exhibition from the dolphins at Chanonry in a stormy squall late Weds. We didnt see them in a whole week back in April! Cant wait to return, booked for March 2018 already! Thanks for everything.
Nothing noted, if you need anything Gillian is only a phone call away!

It was a perfect week. We have now spent something like 13 weeks in these cottages in the last 7 years and I could think of no better place to come for a significant birthday. I hadn't realised there was a walk-in shower in Swallow as well as Roebuck so that was a very welcome surprise. We had a wonderfully relaxed week and the cottage was spotless and well looked after as always.
The only thing we noticed was that there was no garlic press when we arrived - so we bought one and left it there.

The view was charming, cottage very comfortable and the estate staff helpful in changing linen etc after one week. Good place to tour Highlands from.
Back door slightly creaky, carpet bit stained here and there, not sure how warm outside high summer. We had no problems at all but the set-up required all guests to respect the others privacy. We could imagine circumstances where this did cause problems or at least lessen enjoyment Not sure there's much you can do about this but it does likely reduce probability of us returning to this specific property

The location of the cottage is superb and so restful.
I think there could be slightly more cutlery, china mugs and plates as you fill the dishwasher - you run out - also more sharp knives are required for cooking and couple of extra baking sheets.
