Situated in the beautiful upper Nairn River valley, Farr Mains is an old farm house with more modern additions. In peaceful rural surroundings, the house is only 9 miles from Inverness and 5 miles from the main A9 road as it approaches that town.
The owners of the house are James and Christina Murray who will make you most welcome in their comfortable home. "It is just like having friends to stay", they say.
Farr Mains is ideal for holiday relaxation. Nearby you can explore the fascinating country which lies between Loch Ness and the Monahdliath Mountains, on quiet roads that will show you some real Highland scenery. The house is ideally situated for short trips to Inverness and Loch Ness. Cawdor Castle, Culloden battlefield, Fort George and the Cairngorms are all within easy reach.
For car tours further afield you are well placed. Most parts of the Highlands are within a days round trip. You can visit Inverewe Gardens, The Isle of Skye or Speyside distilleries returning to the comfort of Farr Mains for a delicious home produced dinner. If leave the area you must, you can easily escape southwards by Fort William, Perth or Aberdeen.
