About
us Dalvourn Holidays is owned and operated by
the Forbes family whose forebears have lived in the
Strathnairn valley for over two centuries. We are therefore
proud to welcome our guests to our modern country cottages
and to our ancestral homeland.
Mountain View, Rowan Ridge and Woodpecker Pad are luxury, 3 bedroom, self-catering holiday homes, each sleeping 2 to 6 people (see
Small Party Discounts).
Built in 2002, these cottages are ideal for couples,
families or other parties seeking an idyllic base for
their holiday in the Highlands of Scotland.
Situated on the 200 acre Dalvourn Farm,
Farr in the beautiful Strathnairn Glen just east of
Loch Ness, these self-catering cottages are set in a
secluded birch woodland. There are extensive on-farm
nature walks and
mountain bikes are available for hire on site.
COTTAGES AND LOCATION
This is an excellent location for your holiday in the
Scottish Highlands. There is so much to see with Loch
Ness, Inverness, Culloden, Nairn and Aviemore, as well
as historic sites - like Cawdor Castle and Urquhart
Castle - and famous golf courses, all within easy reach.
You are deep in the Scottish Highlands yet close enough
to Inverness City shopping centre, restaurants and pubs,
Eden Court theatre, cinemas and sports facilities to
make your holiday one to remember. Inverness –
6 miles; Loch Ness – 11 miles; Culloden Battlefield
– 8 miles; Nairn beach – 20 miles; Aviemore
Ski centre – 26 miles.
We have made Dalvourn Holiday Cottages
special so you can really relax and make the most of
your holiday. These self-catering cottages have all
the modern appliances and facilities you would expect
from a high quality establishment to ensure you spend
the maximum time enjoying your holiday and the minimum
time doing the chores. See The Cottages.
Much thought and care has gone into the positioning of the cottages to provide the best views of the surrounding mountains and landscape. Half a mile away, in the rural
village of Inverarnie is Inverarnie
Stores – a
well stocked grocery shop and Post Office.
Beginning at your cottage, there are
three and a half miles of beautiful woodland and riverside
walks on Dalvourn Farm. These connect with extensive
forest walks/roads within Forest Enterprise woods allowing
you to walk or mountain bike for miles into the hills
on quiet forest roads. There is a wide variety
of wildlife and birdlife with red squirrel, deer, golden
eagle, red kite, osprey, buzzard, owl, hawk and woodpecker
frequently seen.
We look forward to welcoming you, and
your party, to our cottages at Dalvourn Farm and are
confident you will be refreshed and revitalized by your
time in the Highlands.
