Seacot Cottage in the heart of the Highlands

Built in 1920, Seacot is a comfortable, traditional cottage in the former fishing village of Clachnaharry beside the Caledonian Canal in Inverness.
Seacot is perfect for family holidays and staycations.
There are 2 cozy bedrooms, a reading nook, 2 sitting rooms, electric fireplace, well equipped kitchen and a family dining room.
From the bedroom you can enjoy stunning views across the Moray Firth where the canal meets the sea.
You may even catch a glimpse of the bottle-nose dolphins!
Seacot is perfectly located as the start and finish of the famous North Coast 500; one of the world’s top coastal touring routes.

Very clean and comfortable house, walking distance to the pub two doors down, and an Esso/small grocery 5 minutes the other direction. The only two suggestions I have for the owners are to clearly state that bedrooms are upstairs and that there is no parking on the property itself (we used the canal parking lot down the street a bit).

We enjoyed staying at the cute cottage! However, the listing implied that it has a view of water—it did not

Nice location with a pub 2 doors down
A very nice place to stay. We didn't have a car, and the path by the nature reserve (starts behind the house) is a pleasant walk to the center center.

Felt like home. Roomy enough for 6 people did not feel crowded. Only complaint is the washer/dryer unit took 4 hours per load and clothes were still wet

Cute cottage
We loved our stay at Seacot! After over a week in a small hotel room in London it was so nice to have a whole house to ourselves. The canal walk behind the house was lovely and the house itself was cute and clean. Highly recommend!

Inverness Bliss!
My two friends and I had a great time at the Seacot cottage. It was impeccable, beautifully decorated, comfortable and a great location for us. Excellent setting by the water, yet walkable into town- lovely walk along the canal path. I highly recommend! Helpful and attentive hosts too!

A Lovely Cottage
Check in was easy. There is parking in back of the house but you can literally par on the road right in front of the house. Hosts were responsive and the location is great!
