Luxury Self-catering on the Black Isle
The name Drummondreach has been associated with this area and farm for a few hundred years. In Scottish, drummond means “at the ridge” and reach is a suffix meaning “belonging to”. So here, you belong to the ridge. The first half of the name is easy to pronounce. It’s drum-on-d. But how do you pronounce the -reach? Is it reach, like reach for the stars? No. It’s ree-ah-ch and that last sound you make by aspirating the c and the h at the back of your throat. It’s not necessarily the easiest sound, but it’s fun to try it. The word “steading” means a farm and its buildings. In fact, this building was a stable.
Drummondreach Steading is a three bedroom, two bathroom cottage, sleeps six and has a cedar barrel sauna for your enjoyment.
Available to let for your holidays in the idyllic and evocative Scottish Highlands.
The cottage is located in a rural area just 25 minutes from Inverness and 10 minutes to Dingwall.
The cottage is referred to as “Skylarks” for purposes of booking.

Absolutely beautiful place everything you could possible need can not say a bad word against this place fantastic for the dogs the views were amazing saw the red kites everyday would recommend to everyone
We had a great week in this beautifully converted steading in a peaceful setting. Lots of light and lovely views inside with great outside space. All the fixtures and fittings are tasteful, high quality and very comfortable. We enjoyed the area more than expected with easy driving to the northern flow country and west to the big hills. We are planning our return soon
Just back from a wonderful week at Skylarks, Drummondreach! There were 6 of us plus our wee dog. This property was to a very high standard, everything was top notch. Very comfortable beds with clean fresh white linen. Bathrooms with top quality fittings, as was the kitchen. We have stayed in many many self catering lodges/cottages but I have never been in one so well equipped, it even had a huge array of spices & cooking, baking equipment. Games, books & dvds. One thing that made it special was the range of Ordnance Survey Maps!! From the moment we walked in, it felt like a home from home. The view from the property was spectacular, no matter the weather. I must also mention the outdoor sauna, a perfect place to de-stress & unwind! I would say if you are looking for somewhere to relax, this is it! If you are looking for somewhere to explore this magnificent part of the country, this is it! I cannot speak highly enough of this property, you really just need to bring your clothes & yourself!
