To our highland holiday cottages on the Black Isle, home to the Moray Firth dolphins
We would like to welcome to this magical place. Hillockhead farm is more then just a place to stay and we hope you will come to share the experience. Enjoy the freedom of self catering in these light spacious cottages overlooking the Moray Firth. It's not just somewhere for a Summer holiday, enjoy the brilliant autumn colours or sparkling Winter scene - see the accommodation page for Winter discounts. Spring is a wonderful time to visit with snow capped mountains and long, light evenings.
Whatever time of year, something about the expanse of sea, sky and light and the sense of peace and beauty ensures people return home feeling refreshed and revitalised.
The Black Isle is renowned for its scenic beauty and mild dry climate where pretty villages and lovely safe beaches wait to be discovered.
This area of the scottish highlands is a haven for wild life, birds, wild flowers and sea life, including Britain's largest school of wild dolphins, which can often be seen from the door of your holiday cottage.
The selfcatering holiday cottages are set in the heart of the scottish highlands in beautiful surroundings with stunning views overlooking the Moray Firth.
The traditional sandstone steading (barn) has been converted to form four individual cottages, ranging from 1 to 3 bedrooms. Pines, Dolphin, Swallow and Stables are all self contained and individual in character, each occupy a corner of the building
Three spacious and well equipped self catering cottages, Juniper, Rowan and Chanonry form the Longhouse, all have panoramic seaviews through large patio doors.
Outside there are extensive level and lawned play areas and shared barbecue. Outdoor and indoor games equipment is provided.
