Balnaird Farmhouse, a charming detached stone cottage dating back to 1868, is situated on the outskirts of Strathpeffer, a picturesque spa town in the Scottish Highlands. This rural retreat accommodates three guests across two beautifully furnished bedrooms, making it an ideal destination for families or small groups. The property has been thoughtfully renovated to offer modern comforts while retaining its historic character, providing a perfect base for walkers eager to explore the stunning countryside. After a day of outdoor adventures, guests can unwind in the cozy sitting room or the inviting sunroom, enjoying the serene atmosphere.
The kitchen at Balnaird Farmhouse is fully equipped for self-catering, allowing visitors to prepare and savor home-cooked meals together at the dining table. The layout of the cottage promotes quality time among loved ones, whether it's sharing breakfast or reminiscing about the day's activities. Upstairs, the two bedrooms—a King Size room and a Single room—are tastefully decorated and share a ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor cloakroom, ensuring comfort and convenience for all guests.
Outside, the garden features outdoor furniture, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or dining al fresco while soaking in the refreshing country air. Strathpeffer itself is steeped in history, originally known for its natural springs and as a popular health resort in Europe. The town has preserved its heritage, with landmarks like the restored Pump Room and Spa Pavilion, which now serve as community hubs and cultural venues. Additionally, the Highland Museum of Childhood, located in a former Victorian train station, offers insights into the experiences of growing up in the Highlands, while Castle Leod, the seat of the Clan Mackenzie, invites visitors to explore its rich history and artifacts.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the area surrounding Strathpeffer is a paradise, featuring numerous walking trails and natural attractions. Rogie Falls is renowned for its salmon viewing opportunities, set amidst beautiful forest walks. More experienced hikers can take on the challenge of Ben Wyvis, a prominent mountain offering breathtaking views, while the smaller Little Wyvis provides a more accessible option. Adventurers can also engage in wild swimming in Loch Achilty, enjoy fishing at Tarvie Lochs, or rent bikes in Strathpeffer to explore the scenic landscape. Nearby Dingwall adds to the experience with its historic charm, shops, pubs, and restaurants, making Balnaird Farmhouse a perfect choice for a secluded Scottish getaway.
