"Lovely property, very very clean and well equipped, with some real charm."
However, during our stay, the property had no vehicular access for 50% of the holiday. This was due to planned groundworks, which we were not told about. Had we known that it was such a long walk from where a vehicle could be left, we would not have booked this property. We also had no broadband for 50% of the stay, which didn't help. In summary Dunollie House is a charming property, but no good if you need to use a car.
Unfortunately, these works were started early without our knowledge. They were not meant to impact your stay at all! Thankfully the road is now fully open again. The broadband outage was due to an issue with a sub transformer and was dealt with as quickly as possible given the property's rural location. Very unlucky for both to happen during your stay!

We had such a lovely family holiday, celebrating mum's 60th birthday at Dunollie House.
Garden was beautiful, my son had plenty of space to running around and play football.
The house has plenty of board games which we enjoyed, especially bird bingo and Disney monopoly

"Fantastic house in a really good location."
Dunollie had everything we needed and to a great standard. The Byre was fantastic and is like having an extra bit of luxury on top of what is already a great house with the 2 bedrooms there. It was perfect for us as our kids are old enough to leave in the main house. Location was perfect for Glen Affric, Loch Ness area, Black Isle, Inverness. There are no facilities in Milton but Drumnadrochit has a large Scotmid and Inverness is less than an hour away. Really enjoyed our week at Dunollie and would highly recommend.

"Lovely comfy big cottage."
Plenty of space for up to 6 adults or children.
Shame we weren't warned the dishwasher didn't work, several days of wasted attempts to use it. We didn't find out it was broken until we met the cleaning team as we left!
Also care needed on the approach track with little room for mistakes.
Still worth recommending a visit.

"The cottage was beautiful as described and the welcome pack was really lovely after a long drive."
The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped, everything that you would want.
The surrounding are was outstanding, so much to do and see.
Only one thing I would suggest is that a grab rail in the shower would be helpful to those less mobile like myself and perhaps a stool in the bathroom as there is plenty of room for one.
Other than the above suggestion I cannot fault the cottage.
A lovely peaceful place to stay.

"Beautiful, well-appointed property."
Very clean and comfortable. The area is peaceful. Birdsong, along with the rush of the water from the burn running on the other side of the (very narrow) access road, helped make it even more relaxing. The kitchen is large and has everything you need to prepare meals. The clothes washer and dryer are easy to use and if the weather is cooperative, there is a line to dry your clothes as well. It was just the two of us, so there was more than enough room. I imagine it would be just as comfortable for a family or a small group. We didn't use the byre, but did peek inside and found it very charming. As it was March, we used the wood burner in the sitting room a couple of nights, which made for a nice cosy environment. The bed was very comfortable and hearing the rushing water through the closed window lulled us easily to sleep. Shower room is large and water pressure is wonderful. We enjoyed sitting in the conservatory in the afternoon, as the sun really warmed it up quite nicely. Parking is ample, but the access road is narrow, which has been mentioned, so be aware of this if you have a larger vehicle. Otherwise, it's perfect! Short drive (or approximately a 20 minute walk) to Drumnadrochit where you can find a Scotmid Coop, a few restaurants and a petrol station. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a nice, peaceful place to spend their holiday.

Also. The log burners are lovely especially for the cold nights. I loved spending the afternoon reading away in the sun room. I would only say that the road up is very tight and not suitable for large vehicles.

"This cottage is absolutely idyllic, quiet, tidy, a nice welcome pack, great location for visiting the area, everything we need to cook, the washing machine, tumble dryer and wood burner are very appreciated after a muddy hike in the area."
Beds are really comfortable, house is very nicely decorated. Special mention for all the tiny Nessies and other above the wood burners.. Everything we need is in the guiding book Just a tiny small comment: we tried to use the kitchen wood burner but the mechanical draft for the smoke evacuation didn’t work and the fire alarm was triggered, we evacuate the smoke as we could but it could be very panicking for people who doesn’t know how to deal with wood burner, maybe it’s just stuck but we didn’t succeed to open it… thankfully there’s the other one in the living-room.

Very clean throughout and great shower water pressure. Lots of clothes storage. Beautiful part of the country and only 20 minute light walk to Drumnadrochit means everything close by for days out. Great central location for travel further afield too.

"We stayed for 2 weeks in the Dunollie house."
Everything was top cleaned and well prepared (wood burner with wood and paper ready to go). But then we noticed, that neither in the conservatory nor in the living room , was there absolutely no window that you can open. Windows and door are sealed. So when you start the fire, there is no way in the morning , to get fresh air in those rooms. You have to open the main entrance or the window in the dining room.
No connection between the Byre and Dunollie house. So for a party with more than 4 you have to step out of the Byre and get around into Dunollie house. That couldn't be seen from the pictures.
Very nice welcome with champagne and goodies.

"We absolutely loved our week at Dunollie House, the grounds were immaculate and everything was very well maintained inside and out."
In reality Dunollie House is even more beautiful and the grounds much larger than the photos show. Everything there is spotlessly clean, very cosy, beautifully furnished and we had absolutely everything we needed there. Actually a perfect place to stay and feel at home, but of course also a good location to explore the area and go on trips. The access road is not the widest, but it is not a problem as long as you are careful - we made it with the big rental car and driving on the "other" side without any damage.

I was particularly pleased with the lovel kitchen which was equipped with everything needed to cook meals when eating in. The only thing we found a little disappointing was the fact we did not have access to the byre which we thought our friend might have been able to make use of the bathroom in there making things a little more private. All in all though we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hestitate to recommend it to friends and fsmily.

"Dunollie House is the finest Sykes Cottage we have ever stayed in."
Every effort has been made to equip and maintain the house and garden to the highest possible standards. We loved this place. Visitors requiring three bedrooms should note that Dunollie is actually two self-contained houses, Dunollie and The Byre, with separate key safe access to each house. We loved having our own separate bolt hole away from the children, but those with younger children may need to make different arrangements. Nonetheless, Dunollie is a magical place and we couldn’t have been more impressed with the house and garden, reception on arrival and the friendliness of staff on our departure. Thank you for a fabulous holiday in a beautiful location.
