Cottage holiday rentals in Talmine

I'm finding it difficult to put into words what being a guest at Cantick Head was like. Magical, inspiring, cozy, peaceful, safe. The cottage is beyond charming. It was tastefully decorated with little bits of history scattered about. It was absolutely spotless clean with comfortable beds and linens that smelled heavenly especially after a day of hiking the nearby trails. A nature and animal lovers paradise. Alan and his family go above and beyond to ensure you are happy. I found the experience to be quite moving and was saddened to leave. Alan is an example of what an outstanding Airbnb operator is and Cantick Head is a top notch accommodation. The price was very reasonable for the experience of being at Cantick Head. Overall, 11 out 10!

The Lodge more than met our needs as a base to explore the northern highlands. The many creature comforts helped to make us feel truly at home. The weather was so kind for the time of year allowing us to make full use of the hottub at the end of long days exploring. Our children couldn't get up early enough to "help" feed the neighbouring Highland Coos. We can't wait to come back next year to see how much they have grown.

We loved our time in the bothy and hot tub, stunning views to wake up to each morning! Bothy was very clean and tidy, we would visit again for sure 😁

Stunning location. The ideal get away for peace and quiet. Eimear and Mackie were great hosts and extremely accommodating. Could not fault the lodge, full of thoughtful finishing touches. Will be coming back again in the future. Thanks again. Marc and Gemma

We noticed that the bathroom doors don't close very well and that from the outside the doorknob on the right is loose and you cannot pull on it! And sadly the jacuzzi/bathtub wasn't hooked up... And furthter was the stay amazing, super beautiful location and we loved it!

From start to finish this was a great place to stay. Very cosy and welcoming. There was a well appointed kitchen and very pleasant dining area, the garden was beautiful with a 'hot tub' which we didn't use and there were plenty of towels and a couple of bathrobes which we did use. Rosemarkie itself is a lovely village which we have visited many times and this house is 2 minutes from a super sandy beach. We would definitely like to stay there again in the future.

Had a wonderful week in Moy cottage. Alasdair provided great detailed directions which got us there no bother. We loved the location, beautiful countryside and next to a farm. The house is big and has plenty of space for our family, modern kitchen, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Kids also loved the games rooms. We also enjoyed getting the hot tub fired up!

Every year we pick a new location in Scotland to celebrate my brother's birthday, and this one was one of our favorites so far. The host left many nice touches around the house, including a bottle of Prosecco, as well as some treats for our dog. The location was perfect for us (30 minutes from the Orkney ferry, walking distance from town center, and near some beautiful locations for short walks). Would definitely book this place again.

My husband and I plus our two dogs stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect for exploring the Highlands. It was easy to find/get inside and was so comfortable and cosy with the fire on in the evenings! Just in case anyone has very small dogs - there were a couple bits of the fence where our dogs (small terriers) could possibly get under so we kept them on a lead at times just to be sure. We had literally everything we needed and would absolutely recommend and stay again!

When you stay here, you’re staying in peace and tranquility. The cottage has everything you need, with everything to get you started such as teas and coffees (just remember your own milk). The owners allow dogs, but you wouldn’t know as when we arrived there were no signs of dog hair (nor smell!). The cottage overlooks farmland and we saw rabbits hopping along whilst we washed up. The owners were lovely, friendly and welcoming, but left us in peace too. It’s a great place for exploring the mountains and coastline and I’d definitely return.

Myself, husband and son had a great wee stay at this delightful cottage. It had everything a holiday home should have from accommodation and facilities right through to the added touches of a pint of milk and a loaf of fresh bread. Thank you for being so helpful throughout our stay with all our questions being answered promptly. We would not hesitate to recommend Veronica’s property.

We loved our stay. Tucked away in your own little corner of a working farm with only sheep and highland cattle for neighbours. What's not to love?

Had a warm and cosy stay at the cottage, which was lovely and clean, and in a stunning area. Plenty of parking space. Plenty of wood given to last the week. Neighbours friendly. We were worried about the road being so close once we got there, but with the cottage being low in the hillside, the sound of the road traffic went over the roof, so it was nice and peaceful. A really lovely village and highly recommend the tearoom at Elphin for food and drinks. We even got to see the northern lights and lots of shooting stars! A great stay!

It was delightful to stay at Liz's place. 3 cottages from the beautiful Lossiemouth Beaches and Sanddunes and a wee walk to Ashers bakery, the Pharmacy and Beachside street of restaurants, pubs and ice cream/Cafe and Sweet shops. The cottage is tiny, comfy, well equipped and peaceful. I enjoyed my stay here very much! Thank you Liz!

Spent a great week here with family, and we all felt at home. The property feels nice and secluded but is only a 10 minute drive from everything you need. loads of options for days out with or without kids and walks within reasonable driving distance. Bea was always easy to contact and very nice to communicate with if needed. highly recommend

Fantastic couple of nights in the lovely cosy cottage in Nairn. Really close to the beach and the town, pretty much everything in walking distance. The cottage was very well presented and everything was clean and worked perfectly. Stayed with the 4 of us and our dog and we were all very comfortable throughout our stay. Highly recommended

Fun place to stay for our night in Thurso. Andy was a great host and provided local recommendations. The house had everything we needed and was located close to town. Would highly recommend and happily stay again.

The perfect base for our stay. Beautiful safe beach for swimming, lovely walks in both directions from Clachtoll. The house was warm and cosy, clean and well equipped. Plenty of information in the house on the local area. Assynt is stunning and it’s a beautiful drive north if you fancy exploring even further up the coast. Lynn was brilliant, the perfect host.

This is a gorgeous cottage with so many good points - outside space is stunning and there is a lovely walk down to the beach. The cottage is well resourced and relaxing. Everything you need to prepare food is easy to locate and its very clean and tidy. I found the cottage fresh and modern and it felt like a home. The bathroom was lush and the wee corner ensuite toilet and basin were cute and handy for my mum. Loved it all.

A spacious and homely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The cottage is located in an outstandingly beautiful area. Remote but with all amenities within a short drive. It is ideally situated for exploring the NW Highlands with many attractions close by. Several stunning beaches within walking distance. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions and left clear instructions as to the running of the house. Highly recommended, look no further!

The cottage is fabulous, tastefully renovated and wonderfully equipped. The underfloor heating meant we were toasty all the time and we had the option of the wood burning stove in the living room to add extra warmth in the evening as well as a gorgeous highland ambience. The bed was very comfortable and lovely views from the windows. Andy & Angela are fabulous hosts who obviously care deeply about the quality of their guests’ stay with them. We were unlucky enough to have a car issue whilst in the area and Andy & Angela went above-and-beyond to assist us in getting it resolved quickly and with minimum drama - we are eternally grateful to them for being so kind and helpful. We love the area and the scenery - the next time we’re back we will only stay here 😀😀😀

We cannot praise Mellissa’s attention to detail or the beautiful cottage highly enough…!! The pictures do not do the cottage justice. The cottage is in the centre of the village and perfect for long walks along the beach and for walking to the pub! The cottage was immaculate and Melissa had thought of all the little things to make it seem like a home from home, complete with a welcome basket, tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh milk in the fridge! The rooms were all spacious and cosy with extra blankets and throws, although this was not needed despite the subzero temperatures we were so toasty in the cottage! We will absolutely be returning as the holiday was so relaxing and the cottage perfect for us! Thanks again, Kara & Graeme

Had a lovely weekend with the family, all thirteen of us, not forgetting the dogs. Will try and return next summer.

Another great stay, thank you. Very clean and well furnished.
