This cottage is in the perfect location for a couple or young family wishing to discover the waterways and countryside of the Highlands. The grounds of the estate will be your first adventure, with walks and wooded areas to roam and an array of wildlife to meet. Set off from the grounds to discover Loch Morie and venture out into the Highlands. For days out, the vibrant city of Inverness and the rugged coast of the east of Scotland are within easy reach by car.

Inside, the rooms are deceptively spacious. A bright sitting room is the perfect place to relax in after a long day of adventure. The kitchen is well-equipped to rustle up family meals, while the dining room is the ideal spot for a celebratory dinner, overlooking the grounds of the estate. Upstairs, a romantic double bedroom can also be made into a delightful twin, and for children staying, there's a bespoke French-made sofa  in the lounge that converts to bunk beds.

Outside the property, the scenery is breath-taking, as are the spectacular grounds of the estate. You can even do a spot of trout, charr and salmon fishing by arrangement if you would like to take advantage of this activity while away.

The April Cottage is absolutely fantastic. The setting is just absolutely amazing, be sure to hike or drive the road up as far as it goes in the estate. Wonderful for anyone who wants to be away from the world and in nature. Lot's of off the track walking to do, we loved the rowing boat in the smaller loch that you have to take a small hike to fromRead more hut 3. Magda was amazing, truly wonderful to our toddler, and so kind and hospitable to us! Would definitely stay again. Hide

Very clean and comfortable cottage. Kildermorie superb and owner and staff delightful, welcoming and helpful on places to go - into idyllic Scottish countryside and things to see. Heidi and Rosie particularly pleased to see us. Have already booked for next year. Only 4 Golden Eagles this time so 4 to beat! All in all, superb.

Amazing location but beware of the road into the estate - currently in a really bad state with almost unpassable pot holes - not for the faint hearted. If you want peace, quiet, scenery to die for then this is the place.
