Crystal House – Lapiz – Self Catering Unit
Church Brae, Strathpeffer IV14 9AW, UK
About this listing
Crystal House, formerly known as Richmond Hotel, is a small family run gem, set in the Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer and nestled within the magnificent Highland scenery. The inspiration to call the place Crystal House came from the many large veins of clear quartz crystal that run through the granite stone blocks that had been used. Like any gem, it is multifaceted, offering a number of services.
The house retains original features, whilst providing comfortable modern facilities throughout. As a boutique styled establishment, each room is themed with a specific crystal and colour. All rooms are en-suite with heated towel rails. You can enjoy a hearty cooked breakfast (£10 extra pp), whether you are vegetarian, vegan or eat meat/fish. We can also cater for other dietary requirements.
Strathpeffer is wonderfully located. Whether you are touring the highlands, following the NC500 or prefer a settled location to take days out to the west, North and East coast or south to the Cairngorms or Loch Ness Strathpeffer could be you ideal stay.
Crystal house has a covered overnight parking area for your bike
Lapiz is a traditional showman’s wagon from the 1920’s, restored and refitted for a great romantic break somewhere different. Access to the front door of the wagon is via a small deck and steps from within the therapy garden. At one end of Lapiz is the bedroom with a double bed with a double ended bath. There is also an en-suite that contains a hand basin and toilet. The remainder of Lapiz is open plan with a kitchen area and lounge diner. Heating in by way of a traditionally styled solid fuel wagon stove with hob and oven that makes a great way to cook as well as step back in time. The lighting and hot water are provided by more modern systems.
The small deck outside has table, chairs and a chimnea for alfresco dining. Firewood is included in the rental so Lapiz can be used all year round as the 10 kw stove keeps the small place warm, dry and cosy. It is a wonderful experience to sit by the warmth of the chiminea with a hot chocolate or wee dram on a winter’s midge free night staring up at the starry night skies, maybe even see the aurora borealis if you are lucky.
Lapiz is a self contained unit and the garden it is sited on is shared with other guests.
