Kingillie, built in the eighteenth century has lawns enclosed by mature trees and is surrounded by fields with the magnificent Beauly Firth in the distance. The house has a historic feel and is newly decorated with style. It is south facing, bright spacious and comfortable. The tranquil setting is reached by two long private drives. It has easy access to Inverness and Beauly and is in the heart of the Highlands.
Next to our Victorian dining-room is the centre of Kingillie House - the homely kitchen set around the farm table stretches through arches into the sitting-room. The kitchen is well equipped with an Aga, a 4 door cooking range, a gas cooker, plus two dishwashers. The space is lovely for cosy meals and relaxing on sofas around an open fire. The elegant Georgian staircase with our clan Fraser tartan carpet leads up to several bedrooms each with their own distinctive character. Five of the bedrooms have kingsize beds. Upstairs there is a triple bedroom and downstairs one twin with bathroom opposite. The three newly refurbished bathrooms, one shower-room and separate WC are shared.
If you bring a dog, please keep it under control as there are sheep in the nearby fields. We do not allow smoking in the house or parties or events.
We have generous private parking. Check-in time is after 4pm. There is a key safe so you can let yourselves in when you arrive.
Kingillie House is in the countryside close to lovely walks, lochs and hills. Loch Ness is a 20-minute drive if you fancy some Nessie-spotting and visiting romantic ruined Urquhart Castle. There are swimming pools and adventure parks including paintballing. Nearby Reelig Glen boasts some of Britain's tallest trees. We suggest a drive to Majestic Glen Affric with its stunning views and lochs and Dolphin cruises to see bottlenose dolphins, seals and porpoises on the Murray Firth. You can walk up the hill opposite and with an ordnance survey map link on to the Great Glen Way to walk into Inverness or to the West. We are 40 minutes drive from Nairn beach and Rosemarkie beach both beautiful spots for walking, swimming and picnicking.
Inverness with its shops, restaurants, pubs, theatre, cinema and Hootananny traditional Scottish music venue is an easy ride away by car, bus or taxi. Nearer still is pretty Beauly village with bespoke shopping (and supermarkets), traditional tweed and tartan shop Campbells, a range of eateries, and a ruined medieval priory. There are three championship golf courses less than an hour away. We have whisky distilleries galore to visit.
Inverness is served by an international airport, train station (with direct routes as far south as London) and bus links both local and UK-wide. The nearest train station is at Beauly village. Within easy walking distance are bus stops for Inverness, Beauly and other Highland destinations.
Located in Inverness, this vacation home is in the city center and on a river. Inverness Museum and Art Gallery and Eden Court Theatre are cultural highlights, and some of the area's landmarks include Beauly Priory and Glen Ord Distillery. Traveling with kids? Consider Campbells of Beauly, or check out an event or a game at Fairburn Activity Centre. Discover the area's water adventures with kayaking and fishing nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with ecotours and hiking.
