The Dower House:
Set at the foot of the Black Isle (a sheltered spit of land just north of Inverness), The Dower House was built as the retirement home for the owners of baronial Highfield House. While Highfield fell into disrepair, The Dower House flourished and was remodeled into a cottage orné, an adorable, single-story doll’s house. The cute exterior belies a more spacious interior. The dining room and sitting room open up from the entrance hall. Mena has played on the interesting architecture and decorated the house in a most appealing, flowery, feminine way, adding attractive Victorian furniture and all the special touches that make you feel you are staying with friends. Robyn’s delectable food has earned him a two AA Rosettes. Robyn and Mena also rent their self-catering cottage in Strathpepper. An enjoyable day trip is to explore the villages of the Black Isle of which the historic port of Cromarty is a highlight. You can enjoy magnificent Highland scenery on the train journey from nearby Dingwall to Kyle of Lochalsh. The local distillery at Glen Ord offers tours and samples. Traditional Scottish tweeds and woolens are available in nearby Beauly.

it is not often that I feel compelled to put pen to paper about somewhere that I have stayed. But the Dower house is special enough for me to make the effort. My job requires me to travel the world, I currently live in Singapore and to say I am a bit jaded by plastic chain hotels even of the better class, is an understatement. This hotel is as far away from that as you can get. It is crammed full of character and style, you feel instantly at home and gentle serenity envelops you as you walk t...
