Evelix is an old schoolhouse that has been given a new lease of life as a luxurious holiday home. Located in the village Muir of Ord, which is just 13 miles from the Highland capital of Inverness, the property sits by the road with a good acre of beautiful wild garden within the grounds. The school house has been sympathetically restored to retain the character this building once had, with feature pieces including a gorgeous antique double bed and an old wooden school desk. The main living area is open plan. There is also the added bonus of a woodburning stove in this room, so cosy up and enjoy a night in front of the fire with your favourite tipple in hand. The master bedroom is located on the ground floor with the second bedroom up in the tower. The master bedroom has an en-suite. The main bathroom is located on the ground floor and boasts a free-standing roll top bath as well as a walk in shower. Outside, there is a small patio which is perfect for warm summer evenings, and an unfenced burn that runs through the enclosed garden, so children must be supervised at all times.
We operate a hands-off approach with our guests, opting for a key safe collection method. However, should you need assistance during your stay please do not hesitate to contact Cherry on the email or number supplied. She will be pleased to assist and suggest places to visit.
The property is located right on the edge of Muir of Ord, and all local amenities are within walking distance (the pub is just a 5 minute walk!). Evelix is a fantastic base from which to explore the Highlands – Inverness, the Black Isle and Achnasheen are all just a short drive away from the property, so there are plenty of places to go during your stay. A visit to Loch Ness should definitely be on the cards too, as well as a day trip further North exploring the likes of Dornoch with its gift shops, golf course and sandy beach.
