Happy Solstice! What a marvellous evening just down the hill to next door for a solstice party (Swedish Midsummer themed) with the locals and a few of their friends from farther away. What a sunset we were graced with.

We love a National XX (insert topic) Day😂 And I've just found out that 2 days ago it was National Jane Day. So although I'm late, I'm taking it. 🤣😍 What a lovely day dog walking, swimming, making elderflower cordial, gardening with friends who came to visit, and sharing a beer in the sun. Here's a photo of the girls, just because 🥰

We've had a lot of lovely dog walks over the last few weeks. Some places right from the door, others very nearby like Reelig and Abriachan and a few others a wee adventure out. Here's a small selection for our Sunday evening viewing.

One of the local drives we recommend to guests, and a super place to walk, is into Strathfarrar, about 30 mins from us and just up the road from Beauly. Emma and I took a nice out and back walk in the sun earlier this week, a wee 7 miler, with lots of river and water spots for her to swim in and cool down. There are numerous mountains to walk in this glen, if that's your thing too! Entry to Strathfarrar is via a locked gate, although you can park in the car park outside and walk, cycle in, at any time. But if you choose to drive through the glen (which is a 17 mile drive to the end), then you need to look at the access times when the lovely lady in the gatehouse will let you in. Just don't miss the last time for getting out, or you'll be locked in overnight haha.

6 doggies to visit recently, with 2 families. They all seemed to enjoy the enclosed and private garden, and the view. And some local walks too by the looks of it!
Dogs come for free when visiting Pinewood - there's no extra charge. And we love to welcome them with some special treats.
And we have lots of doggy items available in case you forget to bring anything, like leads, bowls, collars, towels etc.

When a guest leaves a review which is a 'Geotrain' - ever heard of that? It's basically a 'poem' when the number of syllables in each line gives a string of 6 digits which together provide co-ordinates in degrees, minutes and seconds (which maps against our location). Make sense? Very clever. This was the night of the awesome aurora (seen by the naked eye) and the first time seen by our guest.

Last night, from the garden, we were treated to an amazing show of the northern lights, with the naked eye. She hadn't popped that well with just the eye for a while, so it was very special sharing it with our guest. As always, the camera picks up way more colour but the vividness of the camera colours shows how better than normal it was with the naked eye

13 years ago today, this bundle of love and energy came into our lives from The Dogs Trust, after being 'unwanted' for 6 months, one of the longest stayers at their charity in Evesham. She was at least 2 years old they said... so Emma is at least 15 years old. She may be deaf, and she puts up with adopted sister Mina, but she's still climbing Munros, jumping ditches, enjoying tricks and running wild. Wouldn't change a thing... Love you Emma!

A luxurious slice of Highland Heaven

Just a short drive from the capital of the Highlands, or 10 minutes from the quaint village of Beauly, Pinewood Steading combines the peace and tranquillity of a rural setting with easy access to modern amenities. Pinewood has captivating and uninterrupted views over the Beauly Firth, across to Ben Wyvis, Strathfarrar and beyond - on a clear day you can see the mountains of Torridon. A great location for the nature lover too, with so many wild birds in the garden, pheasants, deer, and look out for red squirrels and pine martens! Come here to get away from it all. Located in a majestic part of the Highlands, Pinewood Steading has a very large bedroom with king-size bed and a cathedral window; second bedroom with two twins or one super king; a sitting room with log burner (also underfloor heating throughout); and a large, well equipped kitchen with a view overlooking the rolling countryside down to the Beauly Firth.

We are dog friendly with no charge, and have no limit on numbers depending on size. Please do contact us if you’d like to bring your dogs on holiday; we will make sure to give them a very warm welcome too!

Earlier in 2018, we achieved our Silver Award from Green Tourism - and in November 2018 we were awarded our Gold! We strongly believe in doing our bit to improve the environment and reducing our contribution to global warming. We have strived where possible to use practices that support these principles. As a family and a business, we are also committed to protecting our own wonderful surroundings and environment. Indeed, we selected the site for its natural beauty, a great location for our business, and the site’s potential for environmental improvement.

Pinewood Steading is also all on one level (bar one small step down into the kitchen) and is spacious and roomy for those who may have mobility issues. The car park is located by the Steading and has a path with ramp right up to the front door.
