Troya

Settled amid rolling countryside in the quaint village of Daviot near Inverness, is this superb, single-storey holiday home, Troya. This detached property enjoys a backdrop of rich woodlands and boasts a large garden, ideal for a family of eight. Travel along the single-track road to be greeted by ample off-road parking, with enough space for five cars. Step inside to discover the contemporary interior and kick-off your walking boots, ready for a ramble in the forest. Admire the underfloor heating as your step through to the sitting room, bathed in natural light; here you can curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea and good book. Discover the bright and airy kitchen/ diner, white-washed for a refreshing look and hosting an island to keep the chef company as they make use of the electric oven and induction hob. Take a seat at the dining table to tuck-into hearty-warming meals or on sunny days have an alfresco dining affair on the large lawn, with plenty of furniture for eight. After an action-packed day, there is a utility room with a washing machine, so don't worry about making a splash in the mud! Relax and unwind in the family bathroom, where you can enjoy a soak in the tub or freshen up in the overhead shower. Troya offers four wonderful bedrooms to rest your head, including a master with en-suite shower room, as well as three doubles. Awaken with a cup of coffee in the garden to relish the morning sunshine, as you plan the day ahead. Explore the scenery and visit Littlemill for a walk, with a colourful display of flowers and you may be lucky enough to spot a roe deer. A short drive will lead you into the heart of the Scottish Highlands, the city of Inverness; here you can marvel at the gothic cathedral and unveil history at the museum and art gallery. Be sure to visit the large water of Loch Ness, a place of natural beauty, where tourists can enjoy a cruise to soak in the rural setting. Close-by is the village of Dores, which offers even more spectacular views of Loch Ness, so pack a picnic and relish the tranquillity of Dores. For a much-needed rural retreat, whisk your loved ones to Troya. EPC Rating: Band D
