Property code: CA131

This unique property is located on the edge of Muir of Ord, an enchanting Scottish village on the western boundary of the Black Isle. The building once served as a schoolhouse to the village, and less than half a mile from the door you'll find a local shop, bakery, fish and chip shop, restaurants and a golf club. Only 13 miles from the Highland capital, Inverness, everything you'll need is close by, be it peaceful walking country or busy city shops. A trip out on the water to look for Nessie is certainly on the cards, as Loch Ness is only 16 miles from your door. 

Tastefully updated yet retaining its traditional charm, the interior is pretty and inviting. On the ground floor, an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is complete with oak flooring, high ceilings and stylish pendant lighting. The kitchen area is contemporary and well-equipped, contrasting beautifully with the antique dining table and chairs. Gather for meals here before sinking into the sofas for popcorn and a DVD, wood burner crackling beside you. The master king-size bedroom is well furnished with a wrought-iron bedstead and ornamental fireplace, and benefits from a contemporary en-suite shower room too. Also on the ground floor is the spacious family bathroom, cheerfully decorated with a quirky purple roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle. Venturing upstairs, you'll find another stunning bedroom, furnished in rich blues with a beautiful antique bed that is a small double.

 Stepping outside, al fresco dining is a must on warm summer evenings as there's a delightful patio set up with garden furniture. Take your evening drinks out here while the sky turns pink, or have a wander around the acre of garden that the house sits on. There's an unfenced burn (a Scottish stream) that runs through the garden, so please ensure that children and dogs are supervised; rest assured that the garden is enclosed so there's no easy access to the nearby road.

A beautifully restored property, with many original features and antique extras. Very nice that it hasn't been made too modern. The downstairs bed was soooo comfy, and the shower was great. My partner had trouble filling the amazing freestanding bath. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Fantastic place to stay in the Highlands. We really loved our time here, it's a great location with access to the stunning countryside and walks - plus the beautiful Singleton distillery nearby. We visited with our nervous Nelly dog and it was lovely and peaceful for her even on NYE. Thank you to the host.

We stayed in Evelix whilst attending a course in the area, and really enjoyed returning to this lovely, characterful house each evening. It is comfortable, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed during our time there. We appreciated the eggs and lovely homemade cake which Cherry, the owner, had left for our arrival. We would love to comeRead more back and stay again soon! Hide

Just spent a lovely five days at the old school house. Cottage has everything you would need for a relaxing break. The garden was safe and secure for our dog, he rarely strays out of sight so I felt comfortable letting him enjoy the space. Muir of Ord is a quiet spot, bad girls bakery was a lovely treat and worth a visit.

The house and garden was so beautiful. It was such a lovely place to come back to at the end of each day. The fireplace made it feel extra cozy. The shower is amazing! We had a marvellous time and loved seeing the highland cows over the garden fence. The location is perfect, we saw many gorgeous places in Scotland. We truly had a wonderful holiday.Read more I would love to live in a house like this in the Highlands one day. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you so much x Hide

Lovely cottage. Good size for 4 people. Beautiful main bathroom. Dog friendly but had to keep on lead in garden as he could get through gate. Only problem we had, it was way too hot and although it was the holiday season the owner himself came out and it was sorted.
