Snaptrip says

Quarryfield is a highly praised holiday cottage in Inverness, receiving glowing reviews for its welcoming housekeeper, Jane, and its array of amenities suitable for all ages. Guests celebrate the property's suitability for large gatherings, with special mentions of the well-equipped kitchen, sports facilities, and the luxurious, en-suite bedrooms. The stunning views and ideal location for exploring The Highlands add to the property's charm, making it a memorable stay for many.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard upheld by the housekeeper.

The location is highly regarded for its stunning views and proximity to Inverness, with easy access to local shops and attractions. The peaceful setting is also appreciated for its natural beauty.

Comfort is frequently highlighted, with guests praising the luxurious beds and spacious rooms. However, one mention of the heating being difficult to control slightly impacts the otherwise excellent feedback.

Facilities are generally celebrated, including the kitchen, sports equipment, and entertainment options. Some minor maintenance issues and the absence of a music system are noted, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive experiences.

While the reviews reflect a thoughtful and accommodating housekeeper, there is no specific mention of gifts being provided to guests. Therefore, it is not possible to score this category accurately.

About this property

Munlochy 1.3 miles. Rising from the picturesque countryside of Munlochy, near Inverness, Scotland, this magnificent holiday home is truly a fantastic base for responsible hen and stag groups, families and, due to the array of close courses, golfing holidays. With a conservatory catching the light, a long drive and a backdrop of trees, you will instantly feel the luxury of this stay. Entering through the glass doors of the conservatory, notice how spacious and airy this property is. Finding yourself in a games room, you will be welcomed to test your skills at pool or recline on the L-shaped sofa and catch up on your favourite TV shows, before heading through to the sitting room with ample seating, an abundance of windows, a beautiful stone fireplace as well as all of the furniture decorated with tartan, continuing the theme of a Scottish holiday, a traditional feel that is added to by tall ceilings and wooden roof beams. Leading on from the kitchen is a large dining area with a central table, the perfect place to have a social meal, and it is worth noting that there is a cook available to hire for this property if you don’t wish to be self-catered, plus the added wonder of a large Christmas tree and decorations here around the festive season. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with so much space and all of the home comforts you will need to create the perfect breakfast and whilst you wait for dinner, why not utilise the handy utility room? There is also a downstairs WC and basin available for guests. When it comes to the bedrooms, there are nine to choose from, all king-size with zip-links that can be set up as twin rooms on request, with an en-suite bathroom, shower room or a private bathroom, so there will be no queues for morning showers or a relaxing soak in the bath, and each room offers a wonderful view to the countryside surrounding the property, and the décor is delightful, sporting Anta fabric, again in keeping with the Highland theme. This property goes above and beyond when it comes to facilities, offering a large garden with vast parking, an amazing hot tub to relax you after a long day of golf, a lawn space to picnic whilst enjoying the rolling hills of the surroundings, a large tennis court, a half-moon patio of alfresco dining and socialising and a climbing frame for children.

Despite this property having so many activities available, there is much more to see within the local area, for example you could take a leisurely stroll up to the Munlochy Bay Viewpoint, where you will have expansive views out to the bay and the Moray Firth where there is a possibility of seeing dolphins. With such a close proximity to Inverness, this house offers local cafes, crafts and produce, access to hikes and walks, as well as a greater variety of restaurants, pubs, shops and activities in Inverness, including a trampoline park and Inverness Botanical Gardens. The main attraction of this area, however, is golf, with the local area boasting some of the best courses in the country including Royal Dornoch, Nairn Golf Club, regularly hosting the Walker Cup, and Brora. There are also local courses such as Fortrose and Rosemarkie. With so many activities to keep you busy, Quarryfield is the perfect base for a magnificent Highland adventure.

The Capital of the Highlands, the city of Inverness, is the gateway to the countless delights of the Highlands of Scotland. Towering mountains, dark lochs, great forests and precipitous sea cliffs are all within easy reach. Of particular note is the legendary Loch Ness, which is surrounded by some truly breathtaking scenery, although most visitors are usually on the lookout for something a bit more mysterious! Just outside the city is the Culloden Battlefield at Culloden Moor (National Trust). The site of the last major battle fought on British soil, there is an award-winning display depicting the battle, whilst a walk on the field serves as a poignant reminder of the clansmen who lost their lives. Inverness itself has much to offer, museums, an art gallery, fine theatre and leisure facilities, not to mention shops, pubs and restaurants. The River Ness flows through the city and both the river and neighbouring Moray Firth are home to a diverse range of wildlife and marine life including red kites, along with dolphins, which can sometimes be seen from the shore, or on trips from the harbour.

    It was everything we needed and more! We had a family of 12, aged between 17 and 82, and it catered for everybody. The snooker table was brilliant and although the cues could do with replacing, we took our own so it didn’t affect us. Tennis, Darts and table tennis also kept us entertained too. There were facilities for a bbq, as well as easily cooking for the entire group. The laundry facilities were excellent. The views were breathtaking - being able to stand or sit out in the back and take in the views of a morning is something I am going to miss! The one improvement I would suggest is to add a TV into the main living room for those families that do like to watch TV, as currently the only TV is in the snooker room, but again it didn’t affect us too much as there were lots of other ways to remain entertained, as we took and played board games around the dining table. I would recommend this place to any large group and I won’t hesitate to book again if we were looking to visit the area again. Jane, who looks after the property, took care of everything for us on arrival and was very kind in showing the first arrivals around the property. She was always only a text away if we needed anything but left us to enjoy our holiday - she was amazing!

    It had everything we needed and the layout really suited our group. Jane was lovely, very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

  • Lyn

    From the bedrooms on the ground floor for the grandparents to the large open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room area to the snooker and table tennis tables. There was so much space and entertainment for all, we even played tennis outside in the middle of January! The views are beautiful from the house and it is so easy to find. A special mention to Jane, who helped us organise the weekend and made sure everything went so smoothly.
