Guests can entertain themselves in the games room which offers a large TV, seating area with sofa bed, table football and a selection of board games. There is an additional seating area downstairs as well. Within the large south-facing garden there is a picnic area with deckchairs and a secure enclosure for children and dogs. Off-road parking accommodates up to 3 cars. The host lives at the property in a self-contained flat with its own entrance. Guest access Muir of Ord is approximately half a mile away. It has a train station, small supermarket, bakery, two pubs, a petrol station, library and several cafes. There is a large Tesco in Dingwall and a medium sized Co-Op in Beauly (both about 10 minutes drive away). A bus route between Dingwall and Inverness passes the house. From Muir of Ord station guests can travel to The Highland capital of Inverness, the stunning west coast of Scotland or north-east to places like Tain, Dornoch and Golspie. There is also the Chapleton Horse Riding Centre nearby. It would be worth booking in advance if this interests you. Other things to note You'll notice there are two listings for this property. During the summer months we offer the whole house for let. During the off season, the host lives onsite. Pets Guests can bring upto two well-behaved dogs, however they must stay downstairs and not be left unattended at the property. When in the garden, please make sure they are on a lead or within the enclosure as there are farm animals in the adjacent fields. Please note, there isn't fencing around the entire site, so children and dogs should be kept in the enclosure when unattended. Technology The house has wifi accessible throughout the whole house. Speeds usually range between 10-14 mb. There is a 32 inch Toshiba smart tv downstairs and a Panasonic Viera 42 inch tv with Amazon Fire stick upstairs. There is no tv aerial but live tv and catch-up can be accessed through various apps on both televisions. There is a Netflix account on both and freeview apps are set up on each device. An Amazon Alexa device is in the kitchen, where guests can login with their account details. Covid 19 We've signed up to the enhanced clean protocol on Airbnb. Hand sanitiser is provided throughout the house. Sustainability Here at Highfield House we are very keen to embrace an eco-friendly philosophy. The property is heated through an air sourced heat pump, which keeps it cosy throughout the Scottish winters. The hot water is also heated using the heat pump, using 100% renewable electricity. We also have a heat composting bin in the garden for all food waste. This produces compost much quicker than a standard compost bin. You can put any food waste in here and a food caddy is provided in the kitchen. We're very conscious about re-cycling here. Items to be re-cycled include plastics, cans, tins, paper and cardboard, but not glass. I take glass to the bottle bank after each stay. We use environmentally friendly products within the house for some of the cleaning and washing activities. Washing up liquid, laundry detergent, fabric softner/conditioner, hand soap and dishwasher tablets are provided for guests. Buying food and drink products locally is also something that we encourage (plus it’s very tasty!), please speak to your host for recommendations.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.

Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
