A warm welcome to Aigas self catering cottages, golf course and farm.

The self catering holiday cottages offer an attractive range of accommodation a short walk from the first tee of our golf course, farm and forest trails.

We have four courtyard cottages in a peaceful setting with good privacy, a short walk from the golf clubhouse area. These Aigas self catering holiday cottages have been renovated in recent years and have a three star quality assurance rating (STB). The courtyard is surrounded by a shared garden area and there is a games room, laundry room, well equipped golf practise area and coffee shop nearby.We also have one cosy hillside cottage in a more secluded setting with a commanding view overlooking the farm. All our properties are traditionally built in stone with slated roofs and have been carefully refurbished and well equipped for family holidays.
We developed our 9 hole parkland golf course as part of a farm diversification project in 1993. The first tee of this par 33 course is a few minutes walk from the cottages and is very popular with Aigas holiday visitors – many people have had their first game here and can’t resist coming back to enjoy the experience time and time again.
The course has matured nicely during the last 19 years and has earned a great reputation in the local area for being challenging and well-manicured in a beautiful setting. The club has a small membership of around 120 members which enables the visitor to enjoy a game at almost any time.
There are a further 25 courses within an hours drive which includes three of the very best Castle Stuart(35mins), Royal Dornoch(1hr) and Nairn(50mins) .
During the summer months cattle and sheep and occasionally ponies can be seen grazing on our fertile pastureland on the valley floor and in the less fertile fields at a much higher level 250 feet above sea level stretching above and behind the Aigas forest. Remnants of the ancient Caledonian pine forest can be found on our moorland at this higher level and the viewpoints looking East across the Beauly firth to the Highland capital of Inverness and West, towards the ever dominant ‘ Beinn a’ Bha’ach Ard’ -makes the walk very worthwhile.
