ROWAN GLEN
Rowan Glen can be available when the owners are away sailing. It is situated at Upper Braefindon, in a rural setting, away from busy roads, and with good privacy.

This modern self catering home is situated on the peninsula known as the 'Black Isle', because of the fertility of the soil, between the Beauly Firth and the Cromarty Firth. It is within easy reach for day outings without stress to all parts of the Northern Highlands.

THE ACCOMMODATION
The property has a large sitting room with open fire, large kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, double oven, fridge etc., utility room with washing machine, tumble drier and freezer, and separate dining room. There are 2 double bedrooms (one with en suite bathroom), and one twin bedroom with additional third bed if needed, and family bathroom. There is gas central heating and a large airing cupboard.
Duvets, duvet covers and pillows are provided, but we do need you to bring your own top and bottom sheets, pillow cases and towels.

The bungalow is in 6 acres of its own grounds. From the patio door of the kitchen the two large natural ponds, one with boat house and rowing dinghy, are immediately close by. There are also mature larch and birch trees. There is a tree house for adults or children (climb up at your own risk). There is a full size croquet court and a summer house some distance away within the grounds. There are lawns, an extensive maze and woodland paths through which to wander.

THE SETTING
There is hardly any need to leave the Black Isle in order to have an excellent and varied holiday at Rowan Glen. There is a network of waymarked footpaths over hills and through forests. The Black Isle Wildlife and Country Park is 10 minutes by car. There are sandy beaches, an RSPB reserve, and boat trips to see the famous dolphins.

The old fishing village of Cromarty, with its fascinating Court House Museum, is on the tip of the peninsula. The local munro mountain, Ben Wyvis is within half an hour of Rowan Glen. Our weather in this area of Scotland is by reputation mild and sunny, with less of a midge problem than in other localities further west.
