Lochussie Cabins, Lochussie, Maryburgh, Ross-Shire

Lochussie Cabins offer an escape just outside the bustling town of Dingwall, strategically positioned for venturing into some of the Scottish Highlands' most picturesque locales. The allure of the Black Isle is a mere stone's throw away, while the famed waters of Loch Ness beckon for a day of exploration. For those with a penchant for dramatic landscapes, the West Coast is within easy reach, presenting opportunities for extensive exploration.

Each cabin at Lochussie is meticulously equipped to ensure a seamless blend of comfort and convenience. Central heating can be easily adjusted via a control unit located under the TV, guaranteeing a warm environment regardless of the weather outside. Additionally, hot water is instantly available with the turn of a tap, providing a hassle-free experience for all guests.

Designed with practicality and comfort in mind, the cabins are ideally suited for families, accommodating two adults and two children comfortably. The sleeping arrangements include a king-size bed and a fold-out double sofa bed, with additional storage provided by two drawers beneath the main bed.

For those interested in the local culture, the area does not disappoint. Several distilleries are within a short drive, many featuring visitor centres where guests can indulge in tastings and tours, diving deep into the heritage of Scottish whisky. Alternatively, for a day out that combines stunning views with a touch of adventure, guests can embark on a train journey along the Kyle Line from Dingwall. Known as one of the most scenic railway journeys in the world, it offers panoramic views and a unique perspective of the rugged Scottish landscape.

Guests seeking a more laid-back experience may choose to spend their days at the cabin, where the tranquility of the setting serves as the perfect backdrop for relaxation. It’s not uncommon to spot red kites gliding gracefully overhead, adding a touch of natural splendour to the peaceful ambience of Lochussie Cabins.

Lochussie Cabins thus serve as more than just a place to stay; they are a gateway to experiencing the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Scottish Highlands, providing both adventure and relaxation for an unforgettable getaway.

Holidays with Kids


Family holidays are special times that children will remember for their entire lives. Have a look at our list of ways to keep the kids amused and create those special memories.

1) Family games.

Many self catering properties have an on site games room or provide a supply of board games. Challenge the kids to a game of pool or table tennis or spend an evening playing a variety of family games together.



2) Day trips.

Check out the area you are staying in before you go away. Find out what attractions are local to your accommodation. Plan day trips to nearby beaches or theme parks. It is a good idea to buy attraction tickets in advance to save money and you can take packed lunches to save a few pennies too.



3) Outdoor activities.

Find out about local parks or outdoor areas. Take along ball games for a family kick about. You could plan treasure hunts or print out identification sheets and get the kids to find plants, leaves or wildlife and tick them off their lists. Kids will love being outside and all the fresh air will wear them out too, leaving you to have a relaxing evening to yourself.



4) Go to the beach.
   
Kids will have so much fun spending the day at the beach. Build elaborate sandcastles and go for a paddle in the sea. Explore rockpools and teach them about marine life. Search for fossils and unique shaped pebbles, the perfect keepsake to remember their holiday.



5) Scrapbooking.

Buy a scrapbook before you go away. Kids can keep a visual record of their holiday by saving attraction tickets, collecting leaves etc and collating their memories together in one place. This can be looked back on for many years to come.



Spending time together as a family is invaluable.
