“Millness Croft Stole Our Hearts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Being this was our, my husband and I and our dear friends, first visit to the Highlands,
we of course searched for a special place!
One that would really fulfil our every expectation; great location, luxury, cosy atmosphere, etc.

After quite a search (I was very picky :)...) we found Millness Croft...
The website made for a very good first impression and invited us to contact the owners
Neil & Justine Akeroyd!

We booked our trip to Millness Croft for the beginning of January!
All went very pleasant and Neil helped us in every way possible!!
(information, payment, Tesco delivery, etc)

When we arrived at the Millness Croft we were instantly amazed by the beautiful surroundings and the lovely cottage and were warmly welcomed by Neil.

We stayed at the Grant Cottage and were enchanted by it's cosiness,
the lovely woodburning stove (allready burning an ambient fire for us)...
The cottage is really out of this world!!
They thought of absolutely everything ... and not to forget to mention the cleanliness of the cottage! Outstanding!

Our tesco delivery was already stowed away in the cabinets and frigde!
The "welcome-package" includes the essentials (very convenient); the fresh free range eggs are delicious!!

The location of the cottage is just perfect for sightseeing the Highlands but also for a lovely walk in the surroundings of the cottage... it's surrounded by beautiful nature at your doorstep...

E.g. we went to see Plodda falls... a real magnificent walk (we went by car, because sadly we found out about plodda falls a bit to late ;)...)
A bit further away (but really worth your trip) the Isle of Skye, we went to the Talisker Distillery (Tip!!) and the route along the west coast is gorgeous.
We of course visited Urquhart Castle with the beautiful views of Loch Ness (within 10 minutes drive), Fort Augustus, Eilean Donan Castle, Inverness (Tip: In Inverness we enjoyed a lovely diner at the Filling Station ; An American Diner - style restaurant with very tasty dishes)!
and we also went to Ullapool in search for the best Fish and chips... (Tip: The Seaforth Bar Restaurants) On our way to Ullapool we stumbled upon Rogie falls by accident, but definitely worth the visit if you like waterfalls!!

I could write on and on... but you'll just have to take our word for it and find out yourselves.
Neil & Justine haven't said one word to much on their website!

We had THE most wonderful time, mostly thanks to Millness Croft and the friendliness that comes along with it!

We will definitely visit again... one week was way to short!
Can't wait to see it all in summertime!!

Thank you so much Neil & Justine!

As the title allready said; Millness Croft stole our hearts!

“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

There is nothing bad you can say about Millness Croft. Beautiful cottage, lovely scenery, etc
The owner,Neil, is incredibly accomodating, to the point of putting some outdoor toys in the enclosed garden for our two children. The cottage is warm and cosy and very well equipped.
Go - you will not be dissapointed. Also make sure you got to Urquhart Castle - just brilliant!

“Amazing get away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

Spent the first week of Nov in Chisholm cottage and from the minute you walk in the door you get the wow factor.The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly need.We had amazing weather sun every day and even temperatures as high as 17 which enhanced the many trips we made.We visited Ullapool,Plockton,Fort Augustus,Inverness,Urghart Castle,Plodda falls,Affric Glen and still spent a lot of time chilling in the cottage so not surprising we didn't want to leave.Enjoyed our week so much looking to rebook a break for next March.

Room Tip: Very peaceful location

“Lovely week of R&R”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent just under a week in Chisholm in October, it's a very well appointed cottage, very warm, clean and all that you would ever need for self catering break. Attention to detail on all the furnishings. The location is ideal for exploring the local countryside, we had a days walking in Glen Affric and another locally. Inverness is less than half an hour away with all you need including m&S for super duper ready meals that mean you don't have to leave the comfort of teh cottage.
The owner Neil, was extremely helpful during the booking process and welcomed us to the cottage on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble.
Highlights - pine martens outside, no rain all week and the fantastic free range eggs. I would say the double bed is a bit on the small side for a 5 star but the comfort and linens more than make up for it.

I would certainly recommend this to a couple who want a bit of peace and quiet from hum drum of work and recharge the batteries in very comfortable surroundings with the choice to go explore or stay in your cosy cottage equally appealing!

“Excellent quality and good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

I find it odd that the (admittedly) very small minority of people who don't give these properties high marks comment on the fact that there is a road close by and that the properties are relatively close together. Both of these facts are undoubtedly true but there is nothing to stop them doing what we did and asking all the right questions before deciding to book. Neil couldn't have been more accommodating about our queries and replied promptly, enclosing photos of the cottages. We were then able to make a considered decision and are pleased that we did choose to stay at Millness Croft. Our cottage was probably one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in and our standards are high!! The comments about the kitchen being small are quite frankly, rubbish. There was everything we needed in the property to have a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and the standard of fixtures and fittings are extremely high.
Neil is an very nice chap and we both took an instant liking to him. It is obvious that he genuinely wants to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. (Justine was away during our stay).
Ignore the adverse comments about the road - we live on a farm and there was no more traffic at Millness Croft than we experience down our lane!
We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending these cottages for a lovely stay in peaceful countryside close to Loch Ness. All those people who go back year after year cannot be wrong!
