The lounge benefits from a sheltered balcony which ensures you get the best view at any time of the day; open the double doors to really enjoy the breadth of these views. Watching the sunrise whilst enjoying an early coffee is an opportunity that must not be missed. The second king-sized bedroom and shower room are also on this floor.

Within a few miles, you can access Red Rocks at Learnie, the popular mountain bike course, with abilities for all ages and experience. Cromarty on the north side of The Black Isle has restaurants, pubs, beaches and a wonderful place to explore further. The village of Rosemarkie is located a couple of miles from the property, it has a popular beach, cafés and a pub, and the village of Fortrose is also a short drive away, as well as Chanonry Point, a popular for spotting dolphins. If you are keen to see more of these, there are boat trips available from Cromarty or Avoch. The Black Isle offers much for the visitor. Within a few miles, you can access Red Rocks at Learnie, the popular mountain bike course, with abilities for all ages and experience. Cromarty on the north side of The Black Isle offers a wealth of history and many interesting buildings - Hugh Miller, the geologist and writer, lived here and his cottage is open to view, and the Cromarty Courthouse and Museum is well worth a visit. In addition, the village has a pottery and craft shop. A popular spot for seafood and wood-fired pizzas is the Sutor Creek Cafe by the harbour. For those wanting to travel further afield one of the smallest car ferries in the UK makes the journey between Cromarty and Nigg where there is an RSPB bird hide for viewing the many birds in Nigg Bay. The entrance to the Cromarty Firth is guarded by the hills known as the Sutor's - legend has it that these were formed by giants throwing rocks at each other across the water, thereby bringing the shores so close to each other at this point. Despite their proximity, the depth of water allows large ships to pass through to the Firth, and many can be spotted during the busy summer months. Other activities for a day out on the Black Isle include the golf course at Fortrose or a visit to the local breweries, Black Isle or Cromarty. An ideal choice for exploring what the Highlands have to offer is a stay at the tranquil Reyflat Barn.

The little village of Rosemarkie sits on the south coast of the Black Isle peninsula in Ross-shire, Northern Scotland. It nestles in a hollow in the hills, with a beautiful sandy beach in front, and is backed by red sand cliffs which loom over it. Rosemarkie beach is a great spot for fossil hunting, providing a pretty and secluded spot, while the Fairy Glen is a beautiful woodland that is rich in deciduous trees, especially birches, and rowans. This well-kept fishing settlement has an attractive High Street, offering a selection of eateries including pubs, restaurants, and takeaways, along with three convenience stores and a museum. This prime location is ideal for exploring the popular town of Inverness which homes the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, as well as Ness Islands View point and a wealth of pubs, restaurants, cafes, and shops, whereas walking enthusiasts may appreciate a day planned around traversing the many walking, cycling and hiking trails that pepper the Cairngorms National Park.
