The Factor's House

Well maintained historic property with modern bathroom. Host Fiona went out of her way to make my stay perfect in every way. If you like gourmet dining this is your place. What a find! Will return with my spouse.

Fiona was an amazing host, she served us amazing dinner and breakfasts. Our bedroom and the public rooms were both spacious and very clean.

One of our nicest stays ever Or perhaps even the nicest. Fiona was such a welcoming hostess - she showed us the ropes straight away, had previously suggested where we might eat and told us about the shortcut into town. The house is really nice, very tastefully done up with superb views over Cromarty Firth. Our bedroom was lovely, well equipped with fruit and biscuits as well as tea and coffee and everything worked as it should. Breakfast the next morning was superb and we were given tips on points of interest for the next part of our tour. What more could one ask?

A wonderful home-away-from-home experience in the Black Isle, assuming your home is warm, comfortable, perfectly appointed, and truly hospitable. If not, why not give it a try? It's not cheap, true, but worth every penny, and Cromarty is a great place to visit if you want to get away from it all.

Our stay at the Factor’s House was a delight in every respect.

Fiona at Factor’s House could run a Master’s class on how to set up and run a B&B! Of all our stops on the NC500 tour, this was by far the best. The location is beautiful, set down a wooded lane and a short walk from the lovely village of Cromarty. The house is a quaint older home that has been beautifully and impeccablely restored! You are staying in a charming traditional B&B but one which is tasteful and and extremely comfortable as well.Fiona has thought of everything that you as a guest might want and need… and offers all in the highest quality. The common areas are beautiful as well and although there is no bar, Fiona offers an array of fine spirits ( at least 20 gins!) for her guests to make their own drinks at an incredibly reasonable price and based on the honor system. Unfortunately we came in a Sunday night and did not have an opportunity to enjoy her legendary 3 course dinner but we did enjoy the best breakfast of our trip in the beautiful wood paneled dining room. The scrambled eggs and cold and warm smoked salmon were outstanding…at the gourmet level as was the bowl of fresh fruit, coffee, croissants, etc that we were offered. This place was outstanding and must be the best value for money of any place in Scotland! We dream of one day returning but will definitely recommend to our friends and anyone else who may be traveling Scotland!
