It was a perfect home base for all of the sightseeing we did, and it was very easy to pop over to Inverness. The neighbors were very friendly and had helpful suggestions of places to see and things to do. There is a small shop and great restaurant just down the street.Everything is at the house for a good family visit including laundry, books and games.

Sonas House was the perfect home base for our trip to Scotland. I loved every morning waking up to seeing the Firth of Moray outside our window. The house was very well equipped, with just about anything you could need. It was wonderful having a washer and dryer available to wash clothes mid-trip. The owner Coila welcomed us with a bottle of sparkling wine and biscuits and gave us her number should we need anything while we were there. There was also a couple of drawers full of guide books and pamphlets for sites close to Inverness. I highly recommend this home for your next trip. ##### Heather H.
