Origionally The Thatched Croft comprised of a traditional single story croft house and barn. The house has been recently
renovated, an extension added and the barn converted to give a luxurious two bedroom cottage.

All of the rooms in the croft provide spectacular views across the Moray Firth.
Some of the original features have been replicated, from hand made sash windows to wood clad walls and ceilings, and
the croft has wooden floors throughout. But with the rustic charm come none of the discomforts, the croft is insulated to
modern standards, has a well equipped kitchen and bathroom, as well as central heating and a wood burning stove to provide
a really cosy place to stay.

There is a small vestibule on entering the house to store hats, coats, boots and all the essentials for
enjoying the wonderful outdoors.
A cosy seating area around the wood burning stove is situated to one end of the original house; with TV,
DVD and cd player as well as a selection of games and books to provide relaxing evening activities. Additional sleeping
is provided in the form of a double sofa-bed.
The seating area leads onto the kitchen. With a Range-style electric cooker and a good selection of kitchen
gadgets, the chef of the family should feel right at home. The fridge freezer is on hand to store the catch of the day, and
the whole family can gather around the kitchen table at meal times. There is even a dishwasher to help make clearing up easy,
after all who wants to spend their holiday washing dishes?
There is also a washer-dryer for your use, after a day at the beach with the kids, it is invaluable!

Children, Pets and Smoking
We are totally child friendly, the wide open spaces with very little traffic are brilliant for kids to explore
to their hearts content. For smaller children we can provide a travel cot or mattress protectors, high chair and fire surround
on request.
Unfortunately, we cannot accomodate pets, we have several cats, which tend to roam fairly freely, and would
rather not take the risk of any pet getting injured should they have a disagreement.
We ask that you do not smoke in the house.
