ROTH-ACH – open for bookings from 1 May 2010


Roth-Ach is a detached house set high above the village of Avoch on the Black Isle and enjoying spectacular, unbroken views across the whole of the Inner Moray Firth. The 10 minute drive from Inverness takes you down the spine of the Black Isle through rolling countryside and breath-taking coastal views.

The house, while being very secluded up a quiet side road, is nevertheless conveniently situated within a 2 - 3 minute walk of the centre of the charming fishing village of Avoch with stores, post office, pub and eateries and the busy little harbour just on the other side of the village from where dolphin spotting cruises start.

Terrace & Decking - this shows the patio and decking
The interior has been completely renovated by the new owners with the emphasis on comfort and convenience. The large modern kitchen and dining room look out over the view to the south from a picture window. Here you will find all that you need to make your holiday as relaxing as possible – dishwasher, American fridge/freezer, wine-cooler and state of the art induction hob and oven. The adjoining utility room has washing machine and tumble drier.

The lounge offers a large HD television, WIFI, CD and IPod docking unit and a wood-burning stove perfect for autumn/winter evenings. It leads to the spacious new conservatory to the west of the house which in turn opens out onto a large secluded patio.

Three of the four double/twin bedrooms (two with en suite the other with private bathroom) enjoy gorgeous views over the Firth with seabirds wheeling below, the occasional vessel ploughing up to Inverness and frequent sightings of seals, dolphins and red kites. Ospreys stray here on occasions from the Cairngorms on the other side of the firth and provide an aerial display. To the east, the lighthouse at Chanonry Point at the end of Fortrose & Rosemarkie Golf course is clearly visible with beyond it, Fort George. All of this is set against a backdrop of the Cairngorm Mountains. The fourth bedroom is downstairs with wheelchair access from the front door and its own bathroom also on the ground floor.
Outside we have been working on the large sloping garden to provide a seating and barbecue area by means of patio and decking. Access to this area is from the lounge with floor to ceiling sliding doors and steps down to the patio. Below this easily accessible is a lawn walkway and below this orchard and shrubberies with pathways laid out for ease of access (still to some extent work in progress)
