    We had a great stay here. The studio was comfortable and parking was nearby for free. Shops were a short walk up the street. Check in and out were easy.

    The room is very cozy and well equipped, there's everything you need.. Rachael is an awesome person and an even better host. I rarely met someone who was so open and friendly towards me and made me feel right at home. Avoch is an awesome place to...

    For a tiny place, it really does the job well. It's a shower room, bed and microwave, plates, cutlery and kitchen bar to sit on stools at (looking out on to the gorgeous characterful alleyway). So it's not large, but has everything that you...

    I had passed though Avoch (pronounced "Auch") a few times before, not realising what a hidden gem is it is. The property is literally a minute's walk from the shore, and 4 minute's walk from the harbour. Packed with quaint tiny fishermens'...

Newly refurbished, compact, cosy en-suite double room with own entrance. Just 30 seconds walk from the seafront in the peaceful village Avoch. One guest recently described the area as magical. Approximately 1 minute walk from the room to nearest shop and bus stops to Inverness and Cromarty.
I moved to the Black Isle from the Black Country. I love meeting people from different backgrounds. I enjoy walking my dogs, Vincent and Deborah (Labrador and Golden Retriever) and swimming in the sea and I'm always happy for guests to join me! I am also happy to recommend local walks, places to visit and places to eat. I previously worked for National Trust Scotland at Hugh Miller's Birthplace Cottage in Cromarty and now work as a Postie in nearby Rosemarkie Village.
Avoch is a picturesque fishing village on the Moray Firth, just 20 minutes from the Highland Capital Inverness in one direction and Cromarty in the other. 2 George Street is an old Fishermans Cottage on a narrow street in the Dock area of the village. Nearby attractions include Chanonry Point, one of the best places to spot Bottlenose Dolphins in Britain, (There are dolphin spotting trips available from Avoch Harbour), The Fairy Glen Waterfall at Rosemarkie and Munlochy Clootie Well.
