About this house rental
Enjoying a quiet setting on the edge of the picturesque village of Strathpeffer, this detached architect-designed house has been equipped and furnished to ensure as comfortable and relaxing a holiday as possible. Just a few minutes walk from the centre of this beautiful spa village, Peffer Lodge makes an ideal base for exploring the many activities and attractions of this scenic part of the Highlands.
Mountain biking on the local forest trails, walking and climbing, water sports, fishing and golf with a challenging 18-hole course in the village are just some of the wide variety of activities. There is also an equestrian centre about 7 miles away where you can enjoy horse riding. For the less energetic, take a stroll along one of the many beaches of the Moray Firth where you may catch a glimpse of the resident dolphins or meander around some the many picturesque fishing villages. Culloden Battlefield, Loch Ness and the Highland capital of Inverness are all less than an hour’s drive. Further afield, take a trip west to the Isle of Skye, Eilan Donan Castle and NTS Inverewe Gardens or north to the stunning land and seascapes of Sutherland and Caithness – often known as Europe’s last great wilderness. Shop, pub and restaurant 0.25 miles.
Available all year: changeover day is normally Saturday, but the owners can be flexible. Departing guests are asked to be out before 10am and new guests to arrive after 4pm. Short breaks are available off peak . Please enquire.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not allow parties, events or get togethers. If this rule is broken we may have no choice but to ask you to leave. Parking is restricted to 4 cars and 4 cars only.
We request that our guests keep noise to a minimum and no noise between 10.30pm and 8.30pm please.
We have neighbours and although we do our best to accommodate guests it is very important that our neighbours are also respected.
Absolutely no smoking indoors.

Really nice house. Very happy with it and would stay here again.
Garden was bigger than the pictures made out. Table tennis in the garage was a real bonus.
Listing could be improved, to mention the 5 bedrooms better. 3 twin rooms - one of each floor. 2 double/king, both on middle floor. Top floor has 1 twin and 1 lounge.
Perhaps having single beds that could be easily pushed together to form a double would be helpful.
Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed - except a pizza cutter.

Perfektes Domizil
Es war ein perfektes, geräumiges Domizil für 8 Biker. Es fehlte eigentlich nur eine Kaffeemaschine, die wir uns im Tesco besorgt haben. Wir mussten uns zuerst an die Heizung- und Warmwasser-Einstellung gewöhnen, was uns nach kurzer Zeit gelang.

Groot, praktisch en gezellig huis
Prima familiehuis waar iedereen ook voldoende privacy heeft. Prettige keuken met voldoende mogelijkheden om voor groot gezelschap te koken. Fijne houtkachel. Slaapkamers met goede bedden. Kortom heerlijk huis om kerst te vieren.

Schönes und geräumiges Haus
Ein sehr gut ausgestattetes und modern eingerichtetes, geräumiges Haus auf einem schönen Anwesen. Leider war die Küche bei unserer Ankunft nicht besonders gut geputzt, das Ceranfeld war fettig und im Backofen auf den Backblech klebten noch Käsereste von der Pizza der Vormieter... Nach einer kleinen Putzaktion, im Haus ist alles an entsprechendem Zubehör vorhanden, hat dies unserem Aufenthalt keinen Abbruch getan und wir haben uns mit acht Personen sehr wohl gefühlt.
Schöne Ausflüge und Wanderungen in der atemberaubenden Landschaft haben den Urlaub zu einem Erlebnis gemacht und unisono waren wir uns einig, dass dies nicht der letzte Urlaub in Schottland war, gern auch wieder hier in der Peffer Lodge.

Sleeps ten comfortably with lots of living space. Looks quite new. Furniture from IKEA. For a high end holiday let, I’d look for more attention to detail, including kitchen equipment, and top level cleaning. The outside of the house and windows could do with attention. There’s a table tennis table in the garage: why not also provide serviceable bats and remove some junk? There is an attractive private lawn and patio. One downside for us was the strimming and lawn mowing at 9am on Sunday morning. Why not do that on the changeover day?

When the 8 of us arrived from Edinburgh for a 5 day stay, there was leftover food in the sink, the top shelf of the dishwasher had dirty silverware in it that needed to be washed, there were wet towels hung over the drying rack, the master bath had mold in it, the washing machine didn’t work, and we constantly had to push the “boost” button in order to have hot water for showers. I called the caretaker and owner regarding some of these issues and they offered to launder our clothes because we had a strict itinerary that we needed to adhere to and no outfits to wear because we had planned to do laundry the day we arrived. Well, our clothes had been washed by the caretaker, but was brought back to us at 10:30pm wet in bags, and we had to wake up to catch a ferry to Orkney at 4:30am! 😱 We had to make a shower schedule (4 people to shower in the evening, and 4 people to shower in the morning) because the hot/warm waterheater would shut off and we were stuck taking cold showers practically our entire stay! In the end, a new washer was delivered in the late afternoon prior to our departure date and we were able to wash a load of clothes prior to heading back to Edinburgh. All in all, we loved visiting the quaint towns and beautiful sites, but am not sure I would want to stay there again.

Very nice and comfortable house
We stayed with 9 people in the Peffer Lodge. We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable with a good equiped kitchen with a large table to sit and eat and a nice and cosy living room. All the bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable to. On the third floor there is another sitting room we used as an extra bedroom. The garden is great and big. Strathpeffer is a nice little town. We used the house as a base from where we went to different parts of North West Scotland and Cairngcom to watch birds.
