The Dairy At Daviot

Overview

Run by a 4th generation farming family, The Dairy's idyllic countryside setting close to the cosmopolitan City of Inverness, gateway to the Highlands with its excellent road, rail and air links, makes The Dairy the perfect place to explore the area's wealth of attractions, outdoor activities and breathtaking scenery.

Our six luxuriously appointed cottages are arranged around the original cobbled courtyard and all of the cottages offer views onto the surrounding fields, woodlands, farm animals and wildlife.

As you approach The Dairy whatever the season you will be filled with a sense of tranquility and anticipation eager to explore at your leisure. A warm welcome awaits you on arrival we meet you personally and show you to your accommodation enabling us to share enough information to get your stay off to the best possible start. We are always close by to help during your stay.

Whether you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday, a romantic break, a walking holiday exploring the staggeringly beautiful Highland scenery on foot or looking to take advantage of the numerous and diverse golf courses in the area The Dairy is the ideal place for you to stay.

The Dairy is ideal for an action packed family holiday with plenty to choose from, perhaps a spot of bottlenose dolphin-watching, a visit to the Highland Wildlife centre or take in some of the numerous castles in the area, Cawdor Castle near Inverness, Urquhart Castle overlooking Loch Ness and there is always the new Culloden Battlefield visitor centre to explore. Our child friendly cottages offer the use of travel cots, highchairs, stair gates and we have an outdoor play area. For family parties with more than two children, Simmental, Guernsey and Jersey can accommodate a Z-bed in the twin bedroom for a third child. We welcome well behaved dogs in our Holstein and Ayrshire cottages.
