About this property

Peaceful Highland cottage sleeping 6 in comfort

The house is let as a whole, with one double and two twin bedrooms. There is a large, well-equipped kitchen and dining room with a lovely open plan sitting room with a log stove. There is a new hard tennis court you can use, and fishing is often available during May, June & July.
Dalmigavie lies at 1100 ft, and is surrounded by miles of empty 'Monahdliath Mountains'. There is a long track from the house up the glen and then into the hills. During the Spring when birds are nesting, we ask guests to avoid walking on the open hill, especially with dogs. Almost every British bird of prey has been seen at Dalmigavie. David and Lorna Paton, look after everything at Dalmigavie, and have been there for 18 years. They live in a cottage close by.

Dalmigavie is 6 miles off the A9 near Tomatin. It is 40 minutes from Inverness airport, and 20 minutes from the station at Carrbridge. Two hours from Edinburgh. A car is needed, and the last 100m to the house is up a steep vehicular track. There are several good golf courses in the vicinity. The coast is 45 minutes away. The weather can be wild and cold, or warm and balmy, sometimes on successive days!

House rules: No dogs allowed in the house accept by prior arrangement. No smoking.
Dogs to be kept on leads outside (sheep, deer, red squirrels) and nesting birds in the Spring - woodcock, curlew, oyster catchers, green plovers, grouse, amongst others.

Please treat the house, grounds, river and hills with care and respect. Once you cross our bridge over the river Findhorn into Dalmigavie estate you enter a little world of your own.


If you enjoy fishing, you can take a day or two of salmon fishing on 4 miles of the Findhorn at Dalmigavie at a cost of £55 per day. Rods are not provided. Let us know in advance in case it is already booked. We can take up to 4 rods at a time.

Beautiful getaway
The house was cozy, warm, and big enough to spread out in. And it’s situated on a beautiful property - just gorgeous and so inviting for exploring. The owner came up to meet us the night we arrived - very nice and accommodating.

Lovely cottage in a great location
Me, my wife and two small children (2 and 4) had a lovely time in the Keeper's cottage – the perfect size for a family of four set in a beautiful location with everything we needed for our long weekend away. The log fire was delightful (and well stocked with coal and wood) and the surroundings of the cottage were idyllic. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful property, definitely recommend
The cottage is at an extremely picturesque location. Lorna was very helpful and friendly. The cottage is up the hill which is a little pushed away. But if you are looking for a quiet getaway this is the place for you. The views from the house are spectacular. We really loved our stay. The place was very clean and well equipped. Definitely recommend it.

A very comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a beautiful location. We enjoyed several walks on the estate which provided amazing scenery from the top of the hills and down to the river, and we enjoyed seeing some of the wildlife in this area. Lorna and David were extremely friendly and helpful.

Peace and quiet with a view
The review only allows five stars, ten would be more appropriate! The property was about as remote and peaceful as you could dream up. Take along a few essential items to eat, light the fire, kick back with a good read or see the Milky Way!

Lodge House
We really enjoyed the beautiful views. We had an extra surprise late one evening with about 12 deer in the front yard. For those not familiar with ticks, info about that would be helpful for future guests. We also had some trouble with the written directions to the cottage - it mentioned then end of the wall when in fact you had to turn right at the sign and the wall continued on.

Magical!!
We loved our stay here and words can’t do it justice. Being able to wake up to deer outside our window, sitting out on the bench with a cup of coffee and watching the river and mountains in the valley. The cottage itself is very well stocked and we managed to cook a Sunday roast (although make sure to bring your own tea/coffee/cooking oil etc and any other essential food items). The cottage is very cosey and we felt right at home straight away, we were sad to leave and will make sure to book another stay in the future!

Peaceful Getaway in the Scottish Countryside
We had a wonderful time staying at this charming cottage in Inverness. The location was perfect, surrounded by lovely countryside and cows. The cozy interior provided everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The fully-equipped kitchen allowed us to cook delicious meals. We loved sitting by the crackling fireplace. The cottage was clean, well-maintained and comfortable. The detailed information provided to us. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable and relaxing vacation in this beautiful setting.

Amazing country gem!
Wow! I cannot believe we stumbled across this property! A cozy, beautiful cottage in the country tucked away from busy life and noise. The surrounding property is amazing for walks and hikes. So much wildlife comes by to visit including deer, pheasants, rabbits, and the numerous fields of sheep. The wood burning fireplace was amazing and the owners kept very well stocked with wood and tinder. The showers were great with ample hot water and pressure. Lorna greeted us immediately upon arrival and was such a kind and welcoming person. We are so excited about our stay and would absolutely come back! Thank you for a nice visit.

A few days in the Scottish countryside
My wife, myself and our adult son stayed at the cottage for a few days. We absolutely loved it. The house was immaculate, and the surrounding property was equally impressive. Upon booking our stay, I didn’t realize that we would be able to roam about on thousands? of acres freely. We climbed the hill behind the cottage and enjoyed an afternoon in the high country. Saw lots of wildlife, and were taken back by the number of pheasants about. Of course, the lambs were adorable. Deer could be seen from the kitchen window in the evening. Our host, Lorna, dropped by briefly and gave us an orientation as well as offering us mountain bikes and other recreational options. Highest recommendation!
