Scotland’s majestic Highlands with their beautiful peaks, forests and sand-fringed lochs form the backdrop to Millness Croft, a 120-acres of bewitching beauty and the setting for three luxurious cottages, all of which overlook the moor, forest and burn (small river), but not each other. Although just a short drive from the cosmopolitan city of Inverness and the world-famous Loch Ness, Millness feels a truly a world apart. Owners Justine and Neil Akeroyd stumbled on Millness when seeking the perfect location to ‘down shift’ and focus on the early years with their much longed for IVF twins. Whilst there’s no doubt they've found a magical place to bring up children, the fantastically well-equipped and cared for cottages illustrate that they continue to work just as hard!
The Akeroyds’ experiences of travelling with twins are reflected in the range of equipment provided in the cottages. Parents appreciate the well-equipped kitchens, which come with everything you’d expect plus more in the form of microwaves, coffee makers, food blenders, dishwashers, satellite TV (with Cbeebies!), elegant Denby crockery for adults and fun plastic crockery and cutlery for the kids. They are also equipped with wireless broadband, wood burners, and large gardens with pretty patio/BBQ areas - ideal for relaxing on the long, light summer nights. Of all the features, perhaps the grounds are the best. Guests are encouraged to explore, make new four-legged friends with the cows and newborn lambs, and collect their own free-range eggs for breakfast.
Reviews Show Location Map Guests often find that simple pleasures like gazing at the endless blanket of stars that fill the sky thanks to the lack of light pollution, paddling and messing about with fishing nets in the shallow waters of the burn (a fair distance from the cottages), and wild deer spotting can be the most memorable. Further afield, Inverness is emerging as a cosmopolitan city with great shopping thanks to a new shopping centre and old Victorian arcades, and fantastic food and drink, ranging from award winning Michelin starred restaurants to street cafes. Castle, museums, dolphin watching, aqua-dome and football are also great family entertainment. Of course Nessie hunting, is an essential part of any family break at Millness Croft, since its just minutes from the enigmatic Loch Ness. Bike hire with tag alongs can be pre-booked, as can beauty therapy, hairdressing, pony trekking, home cooked meal delivery and babysitting.

Justine and Neil have thought of everything to make sure you have an amazing holiday. It was great to have a whole new selection of toys for our one-year old to play with, which they provided, and all other baby equipment leaving the car free to bring your own goodies. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom spotless. The cottage is really warm and cosy. The area is also great with toddlers as there are lots of forest trails that aren't too strenuous with a baby backpack on your back, and lots of wildlife to see up close including a pinemartin who comes for his bread and jam every evening!
