Caldon Cottage is an immaculate holiday accommodation located in the picturesque conservation town of Cromarty, Ross-Shire, Scotland. This charming cottage comfortably sleeps six guests across three well-appointed bedrooms and is designed to cater to families and groups alike. Notably, the cottage features a wood-fired hot tub, a pizza oven, and a cozy wood-burner, providing a unique and inviting atmosphere for relaxation and enjoyment. Nestled amidst Georgian architectural beauty, Caldon Cottage is just a short stroll from the coast and a historic Stevenson lighthouse, making it an ideal base for exploring the Northern Highlands.
The outdoor space at Caldon Cottage is particularly impressive, featuring a large enclosed garden that allows pets to roam freely. The 18th-century border walls create a sheltered environment, enhanced by Cromarty’s mild climate, facilitating enjoyable outdoor living. Inside, the cottage is equipped with a well-stocked kitchen and ample space for family gatherings, including a living area centered around the wood-burning stove. Accessibility is a key feature, with a downstairs bedroom and a Stannah Stairlift providing convenient access to the family bathroom and additional upstairs bedrooms, which include a kingsize double and a flexible zip-and-link arrangement.
Cromarty itself is steeped in history, having been established as a Royal Burgh in the 1200s and flourishing as a major town in the Northern Highlands by the 18th century due to its salt-fish processing and maritime trade. Although the town faced decline in the 1800s, it has since revitalized, boasting a vibrant community with excellent eateries, a community cinema, and a variety of independent shops, including what is touted as the best coffee shop in the Highlands. The town’s strategic location at the entrance to the Cromarty Firth, an area rich in natural beauty and historical significance, adds to its appeal, with opportunities for dolphin watching and boat trips available for visitors.
The surrounding Black Isle region offers further exploration opportunities, with nearby attractions such as Fortrose and Rosemarkie, known for their cafes and the renowned Chanonry Point, a prime dolphin spotting location. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy some of the best mountain biking in the UK at Forestry Scotland’s Learnie Red Rock site, while the Black Isle Brewery stands out as Scotland's only organic brewery. The North Coast 500 touring route also skirts the area, serving as a gateway to the majestic Highlands. With a blend of historical charm, natural beauty, and modern amenities, Caldon Cottage serves as an exceptional destination for a memorable holiday experience.
