Doric House

Doric House with its imposing sandstone pillars is situated in the centre of the ancient seaside hamlet of Rosemarkie with it’s Pictish roots and ancient carved stones now displayed at the Groam House Museum in the High street. The hamlet nestles below red sand stone cliffs and rolling hills which lead to a beautiful sandy beach, where salmon are regularly netted. The south beach extends to a peninsula and lighthouse known as Chanonry Point, famous for bottle nose dolphins, which feed and play in the shallows of the Moray Firth. The peninsula hosts a unique golf course leading to the twin hamlet of Fortrose. To the north the beach leads past the deeply wooded and mythical Fairy Glen, through which runs the Markie Burn, hosting deep pools, waterfalls and is a haven for wildlife.

The beach continues north along the Black Isle with many paths and cliff walks toward the village of Cromarty.

Guest Reviews

Spacious, comfortable beds & furniture. On the whole a very relaxing holiday home.
Mrs B, Hucknall

We had a wonderful time staying at Doric House in Rosemarkie. The description and photos do not do the place justice. I was very impressed with how clean the accomodation was and it was a pleasure returning to the house after long days of site seeing. We would recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing, comfortable holiday in a super part of Scotland.

When we came we were very surprised, the photos on the website really don't do any justice! The house is beautiful.
We had loads of lovely walks down to the point to try to spot some dolphins - which we did - dream come true.
Had a lovely holiday and one I will never forget.
Rodgers and Hiley - Shipley

A most enjoyable week in considerable comfort. Doric House is a very pleasant place to stay.
This was our first visit to The Black Isle, we have explored it fairly thoroughly and had one splendid high tide with a number of dolphins at Chanonry Point.
The Ferguson-lees - Somerset

We had a very enjoyable stay in pleasant surroundings. Roasmarkie is an ideal spot, the perfect base to visit the attractions of the Black Isle and the North of Scoltand.
The Arthurs - Leicestershire

Came here for second honeymoon in celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary.
Hoping to see dolphins. NOT disappointed, saw them every day off The Point and seals and porpoise.
We had a wonderful stay and could not have asked for a better place to return to.
Food at The Crofters was excellent, all we met every where were so friendly and welcoming.
Had some great early morning strolls slong the beach - highlight DOLPHINS!
Mr & Mrs Rich

Coming to the end of a wonderful holiday in Scotland. We have been to many places over two weeks and are really sad to be going home.
We have been to The Point many times and have seen dolphins nearly every visit.
Doric House has been a lovely house to return to at night after a hard days work!
We are all sad to be going home.

Hampton family

We have been to the Black Isle several times but Doric House has so far been the perfect base for our many adventures!
The Kids (and adults!) loved the recliners and the house has everything that we could ask for.
Thankyou for making our stay so lovely!
The Corlett family - Isle of Man

Williams, Bristol

Sadly coming to the end of a wonderful week on the Black Isle. The people here are very friendly and Doric House is so comfortable to return to each day.
Taking many happy memories away with us and hope to return one day.
The Pycrofts - Nottingham

Dolphins were great to watch.
Watsons, Glasgow

Great week. Great weather and brilliamt dolphin watching.
Beautiful accommodation - bedrooms nice and cool in this hot weather, comfortable furniture too!
Tyrers - North Wales

We've had a brilliant fortnight exploring this wonderful part of the country. Doric House is a very comfortable base to return to each evening - although the recliners are perhaps a little too comfortable!!
Dolphins at Chanonry Point have been on fine form and may have seen the fairies at The Glen... or could have been the beer!
Eatons - Stockport

Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house.
Had a very relaxing holiday, enjoyed watching the dolphins.
Cresswells - Derbyshire

We have only been here one day so far and already love this place.
We have had a wonderful week here and been truly comfortable and content. Thankyou so much for providing such lovely accommodation. A week is not long enough to enjoy this beautiful area.
