"Lovely big cottage in a scenic location - comfy beds, plenty of wardrobe storage and a well equipped kitchen - overall a nice place to be."
Only suggestion to owners would be to have a mirror and dressing table in the master bedroom near a plug points to dry/style hair etc - I had to borrow the mirror from the smaller bedroom and balance it against a wall near a plug point which is not ideal other than that, everything was great.

"Lovely bungalow in a quiet and peaceful area even though the A9 is close by."
If you are concerned that it is too close, just Google map it and look at the satellite view and you can see it's not that bad and you can get to where you want to go without having to go through lots of country lanes (unless you want to). Shandwick Inn is a five minute walk where you can get a lovely meal or takeaway. Be warned, their meals are big, but I asked for a doggy bag and it was no problem. The bungalow had all the amenities you need, however, it does not have a tumble dryer, whether this is due to electricity costs or some other reason I don't know. There is a utility room with airers which did dry our clothes as long as you keep the doors closed, it does get warm. All in all we did have a lovely stay at the Glebe. Thank you Colin and Hilary.

"The cottage was amazing and ideal for wheelchair users, however, our son is fully wheelchair bound and we did come across a couple of issues which we mentioned to the owner and he was grateful for this."
We advised that a hook on the garage door to keep it open while using the ramp would be better, the ramp could be made more permanent so it doesn't move and also to have one bed where a mobile hoist could fit under it would be a big help, it was a struggle having to get him on the corner of the bed and drag him up it.

"Excellent accommodation and deserves 5*."
There were 5 staying with a dog and the house was well furnished and equipped. One of our friends is a wheelchair user and a portable ramp was available (located in the garage) and he had plenty of room to move around the house in his wheelchair. Corridors and doors were also wide enough to accommodate the wheelchair. The large garden was well kept and great for the dog to play in.
Good shopping facilities nearby in Invergordon. If staying you can get an excellent meal - sit in or takeaway – at the Shandwick Inn 2 minutes’ walk from the house. See Shandwick Inn - Traditional Highland Inn & Restaurant.
I can highly recommend the house.

"This was our second holiday at the Glebe and we hope to visit again."
The house is in such a tranquil setting, set on beautiful, spacious grounds with such peace and quiet, you feel as if you are in a remote location even though the A9 is only a couple of minutes away. The owner Colin was there to meet us and was a friendly, affable host who was always available if needed for anything.
The inside of the house is decorated to a high standard which you notice as soon as you step into a spacious hall complete with log burner. The open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room is lovely the kitchen is spacious and as the main cook for the holidays I found everything I needed to prepare meals. There is a large dining table for the family to gather around and comfortable sitting area with TV. There also a larger sitting room where we gathered to watch movies in the evening. Both sitting rooms and the master bedroom have access to the patio. The bedrooms are all comfortable, the master bedroom is very spacious with a comfy king size bed, I loved the spacious dressing room and en suite with a good sized shower. The main bathroom is very spacious with a good sized shower and a fabulous deep, free standing claw foot bath which is amazing(I stocked up on bath bombs to use while there!!)
The house has a high standard of cleanliness throughout and also toilet with sink just off the utility room and the large garage has a chest freezer and washing machine. The house really does have anything you require of a holiday home.
The surrounding area is lovely we visited Inverness, Dornoch and Tain and recommend the Sandstone Cafe in Dornoch and Platform 1864 in Tain for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and highly recommend The Glebe.

We loved the wildlife in the field and the birds by the feeder.
We made nice daytrips. There is so much to see. And the A9 on your doorstep makes is easy to get away. You can make nice walks in the area as well. Sometimes a bid steep if you are used flat walks in the Netherlands.
The pub is on walking distance with good food.

"The Glebe is a fantastic place to be, quiet, comfortable and beautifully furnished."
But I may just be being a little picky about a few things that could be improved on.
Not enough little side tables to place your drink on after a long day out.
My 90 year old mother found someone's hair rollers on the floor of her bedroom, so the cleaning does not seem to be as scrupulous as it should be.
No welcome pack, it's always nice to arrive after a long long journey to find a mixture of local bit's and pieces, tea, coffee and milk, and like most other places, a bottle of wine.
No info as what to do with the rubbish, or a visitor's book for your comments.
I'm sorry, I do not mean to put anyone off staying at the Glebe, we enjoyed every single minute, and would like to highly recommend this place to stay at.
If you are looking for piece and quiet with beautiful country side and hills to drive through, this is certainly the place for you.

"The property was great for space and in a quiet location."
The property location described by Sykes needs amendments. It's actually 30miles from Inverness not 25 and its approx. 6miles from Tain not 15. Site also states pub 5.9miles... No.. there is a pub/Inn about 400mtrs.away!
Unfortunately the cleaning could have been better, tables and headboard of the bed needed dusting and the grill rack in the oven needed some serious elbow grease applied before use.
The main let down though was the shortage of utensils/crockery in the kitchen considering it is supposed to be for up to 6 people. Why have 3 bread knives which are only good for cutting bread and don't have a cooks/chefs knife at all. There needed to be more pans and larger plates(only 2).
Don't get me wrong, it's a nice bungalow in a really quiet and convenient location but for anyone intending to do a lot of self catering, it needs some serious additions to the equipment provided.
There were only two of us staying there and we found the shortage of kitchen equipment inconvenient at times.

"The bungalow is spacious and in a quiet rural location with views down to the Cromarty Firth."
The master bedroom and the bathrooms are huge. the 2 other bedrooms squeeze in a double bed (one has a wardrobe the other only has bedside cabinets.) The kitchen is really spacious and well equipped. WiFi works well as does the Freeview TV. Underfloor heating was good too. You can watch the deer most mornings at breakfast. The Shandwick Inn provides takeaway meals with huge portions and is a 5min walk away. The railway line is next to the house but we never really noticed the trains at all as they pass within a few seconds. Nice walks/drives from the bungalow. Close by were some llamas and emus, and 10mins drive away near Nigg were fields of deer. Shandwick beach is really nice and deserted. Also the drive up to John OGroats and Dunnet Head is really scenic (takes about 2hrs). Slight negatives: coffee table had biscuit crumbs on it and the fridge had milk/cream spillage dried onto the shelf when we arrived and the patio doors/windows didnt look as if they had been cleaned in months so had to clean some myself to appreciate the views better. Also the garden could do with a bit of tidying up so that it reflects the internal appearance of the bungalow.

This cottage was well equipped for the two of us, but we did think that it could have done with more crockery and cutlery if it was going to sleep the 6 it was designed for.
The cottage was well placed to explore the north of Scotland. We even headed up to John O'Groats on one day and visited the Queen Mother's Mey Castle. It was also only 90 minutes to cross to the west, which we did on one occasion to head up Stac Pollaidh for stunning views and to explore this exceptionally beautiful area, especially the coastal road to Lochinver.

"The Glebe was a perfect location for us to tour the NC500 and it has bags of space."
Information leading yo to arrival was spot on. The Shandwick Inn was great for food and only a few mins walk from the property.
Our constructive criticism, for a premium price cottage, is that it needs some TLC and small touches to match the premium price. Some examples:
- bath towels that are thin and don’t even wrap around you
- pillows on bed were wafer thin
- booked for 5 adults but only 4 outside chairs of very average quality
- no guide for operating some of the amenities
- no guide book re local places to visit etc
- no welcome pack ( milk, bread, etc) which we have found on most self catering places
- wall outside has numerous loose bricks
On there own, small things but we are judging this on the price paid in comparisons to other places we have stayed this year alone.

The garden was an unexpected bonus - much larger than I was anticipating & with great views. The WiFi was more than adequate for four people using it simultaneously. We had no problems with the Internet whatsoever. The property is well located to easily access all that this delightful area has to offer, whether that be wild countryside, stunning coast, historical attractions or the city of Inverness. The photos & blurb on the website just don't do this place justice.

Minor details around the house that could be improved:No wastebin in main toilet, a little maintenance to doors as some were catching on floor and kitchen patio door was a little hard to unlock/lock. Might benefit from mirrors in all bedrooms. Extra toilet rolls in each bathroom wouldn’t go a miss. A nice welcoming gesture for the owners to consider is a small welcome pack ie: bottle of wine nibbles or packet of biscuits (as other cottages we’ve been too we’ve received welcome pack of milk, eggs, small food hamper & wine. Just something to consider)

You can walk to the pub have a fantastic meal or even a take-away! The cottage’s garden was far bigger than expected so for The Girls (my 2 peedie dogs) it was fantastic. The first morning I woke up to 9 deer in the field directly in front of the aspect which was once in a lifetime moment, & sporadically they would come out of the Forrest in the following mornings, just magical. The Red Kites found the dogs fascinating whilst playing in the garden they’d fly in circles around us making us know they were there by calling. The only couple of things that would make it perfect as there is plenty of room would be a freezer for frozen goodies & a dryer as I think if you had more than just myself drying clothes on the airer it would be challenging, however I did manage. I honestly didn’t want to leave the cottage I found it so homely, however appointments in Inverness meant we had too, I’d love to come back for a holiday & it will be first on my list for travelling South now. We hope to be back to this special cottage very soon.
