A wonderful, cozy cottage

We spent Christmas in Oak Cottage and it could not have been a more wonderful stay. Veronica was a communicative and helpful host from the get go and really went the extra mile by putting up some Christmas decorations up for us before we arrived. The cottage is just a little bit down the road from Beauly, so it's easy to get to as long as you have a car. The cottage itself is spacious and well-equipped with everything you'd need. You can also say hello to the animals on Veronica's croft which was an extra treat! We wouldn't hesitate to book Oak Cottage again next time we're in the area.

Lovely cottage

This was a really great place. The owner is really nice and welcoming but not in your way. The property has ponies and very friendly dogs that you can interact with or not. The ponies enjoy carrots! The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and welcoming. It’s a great central location for exploring the area. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Cottage

We stayed for two nights, and wished we could stay for longer. The cottage is perfectly located between Loch Ness and Inverness, and is convenient to both. Veronica is an exceptional host, responsive and takes very good care of the property. We arrived to fresh eggs from the Veronica's hens nearby, and a fire set up ready to go. The photos online do not do this cottage justice. It was spotlessly clean, spacious, very well laid out and has comfortable beds. This property is perfect for families and couples. Things not shown in the listing which were a bonus; a big laundry room (great when you have been hiking or road tripping for a week) and fields with animals next door, plus another field for the kids to play around in. Thanks Veronica, we had the best stay in your cottage.

A Relaxing Stay

We spent 2 days at this property in the middle of our 2 week trip to Scotland. It was just what we needed as we were able to relax, cook some meals and still get out to see the sights in the area. The accommodation was very comfortable and did indeed feel like a home away from home. The friendly dogs and ponies were a great bonus!

Lovely house

The house was lovely, warm and clean. The only let down for us is that it wasn't clear that the house is right next to a very busy main road. Us country folk are not used to hearing cars zooming past at all hours. However, it was a good location for being able to visit many places of interest and not too far from Inverness. Thank you for the fresh eggs they were delicious and a lovely touch, especially when you could see the providers scratching around in the field. Definately free range.

Fantastic cottage- great for families

We had a lovely stay at Veronica's cottage- Oak Cottage. It was much bigger than we anticipated, spacious and light and airy. A lovely surprise! Very comfortable and felt like a home away from home. Veronica left fresh eggs, milk and biscuits which were much appreciated. This cottage genuinely has everything you could ever need and more. A large freezer and undercounter fridge. A dishwasher, all the cooking utensils you could ever need. A washer and a dryer. Books and dvds etc. The animals are fantastic and lovely neighbours to have! The secure dog field was great and our dog had great fun in there. People pay alot of money for access to secure fields for their dogs to play so this is such a great addition. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Veronica is a lovely friendly host. We enjoyed exploring Loch Ness and Glen Affric. The local area is beautiful .Oak cottage is truly a lovely place to stay!

Very nice stay. Cold weather but warm welcome

There were four of us plus our dog and we had a wonderful stay at Veronica's Cottage, despite rain almost every day. Plenty of space, well equipped kitchen and of course wonderful surroundings. Veronica lives right next door and would have been available if we needed her. But as everything fitted and everything in the house was well explained, we didn't need to call on her. The dogs (Veronica has two) got on well - otherwise everything was prepared for them not to meet. You should have a car, even if the bus stop is not far away. Shopping is easy in Beauly (8 minutes) or you can drive to Inverness (25 minutes). We had to change our plans twice - but that was no problem. As I said, Veronica is very accommodating and a very good hostess.

We didn’t want to leave!

This Cottage is WONDERFUL! So cozy and warm with absolutely everything you need. Veronica is a great host, she provided us with eggs, bread and milk when we arrived. We had a small dog with us and he had a large fenced area to run about. We had no problem finding the cottage as Veronica gave us detailed directions. Comfortable beds, white fluffy towels and the cottage was spotless! Wonderful log fire to keep us warm and a large TV, DVDs books and games to keep us entertained. Wash/drying room was a suprise! We will definitely book again!

Wonderful place!

Our first time in Scotland and staying here for the first 2 nights was perfect! The cottage is well stocked to provide a feeling of home and Veronica's farm is a peaceful place. She suggested a visit to Glen Affric, which turned out to be one of the top experiences of our 2 week road trip through the Highlands. We all loved this place and highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by VERONICA TERVET

I was born and grew up on the property where the cottage sits. The cottage is where the original family home was, it was rebuilt 10 years ago. It is a passion of mine to share this beautiful area with people from all over and let them see what the Highlands has to offer.

Animals are a large part of my life and are all part of the family, come and feed the lambs, horses, hens, ducks and geese.

Red squirrels and woodpeckers can be seen in the woods beside the cottage. You can walk freely around the wood and enjoy the peace and quiet.
