1 / 21Tollie Cottage
Ardross, Highlands
A delightful detached cottage for four at Ardross with countryside views, a wood burner and half an acre of private enclosed garden for the dogs to run in, three dogs welcome.
Tollie Cottage is set in half an acre of grounds, surrounded by fields, with the heights of the heather strewn Highlands beyond, and its large private enclosed garden is ground where three dogs can run freely. This delightful detached dog friendly cottage at Ardross sleeps four and has lovely countryside views.
Inside, the design is intentional. The living space curls round, bringing light from outdoors through the sitting area, dining space and kitchen, with natural colours and wood details throughout, and there is a TV with a view, a sweet table for planning the next day and a cosy wood burner that the dogs will make their own by the first evening. The peaceful downstairs double has French doors out to the patio, the family bathroom with its modern shower is next door, and the twin is reached by stairs from the lounge.
Outside, the patio wraps around the cottage, with a gas BBQ for supper in the open air and the enclosed garden beyond, where the dogs run while the morning coffee is poured. A welcome basket is waiting on arrival, and the cottage is dressed for the season at Christmas.
The area is famous for fishing and walking and most other outdoor pursuits, so three dogs will never be short of a new path to try. The Cromarty Firth is there to explore, Inverness is 27 miles away for a day of shopping, and to the east stands Cawdor Castle, the 14th century fort that may have inspired Macbeth.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Tollie Cottage dog friendly?
Tollie Cottage is genuinely built around dogs — up to three are welcome, and the half acre of enclosed garden gives them serious room to roam. The patio wraps the cottage, the fields beyond handle the walks, and the Fyrish Monument is right on the doorstep for a proper day out together.
Are dogs allowed at Tollie Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth checking directly with the owner to confirm availability for your dates. What's clear is that the cottage is set up for dogs as a core part of the experience, not an afterthought.
What should I know before visiting Tollie Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes up to three dogs and has half an acre of enclosed garden, so they'll have plenty of space to let off steam without you worrying. It's a smaller two-bedroom cottage best suited to two people or two couples whose dogs are a priority, rather than larger groups. The nearest town for supplies is Alness, about 4 miles away, so it's worth stocking up before you arrive.
