“Collection of self-catered suites & cottages on a 900-acre estate in the Black Isle. Converted from a stunning 18th century farm building, elegant decor with fun splashes of colour is a masterful take on British tradition meets refined classic contemporary. Fab for friends, families & weddings.”

The stylish Scottish retreat with its own airstrip
Wood-fired hot tubs, pizza ovens, huge cinema rooms — these days it seems that no self-catering accommodation comes without a few eye-catching extras. But can anything beat renting a cottage with its own airstrip? This is one of the unique attractions at Newhall Mains, a stylish 900-acre farm conversion near Balblair, on the Black Isle peninsula north of Inverness.
