General

Hillview House; a well proportioned and attractive family home lying in the heart of this much sought after historical conservation village, is of traditional double block construction under a slate roof.

The village boasts; the award winning Cawdor Tavern, a time-honored country pub and restaurant housed in a building that began life as the joiner's workshop for Cawdor Castle; a Post Office/village shop and an exceptional newly built primary school.
