TOMATIN HOUSE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO LET.

To comply with the Scottish Government's new regulations, which apply to short term (holiday) lets, we would have had to undertake substantial building and electrical work to Tomatin House.  This is not feasible nor economic.

 

It is with great regret therefore that we have had to take the decision that we cannot let Tomatin House in the future.
