  • Located three miles from the outdoor capital of the UK - Fort William perfect for all outdoor pursuits
Property code: OC-78875

Nestled amid 10 acres of beautiful private woodland on a 500-acre working highland farm, this lodge is a walkers paradise, perfect for groups of friends and families and two canine chums. Bordered by the River Lochy and at the foot of the mighty Ben Nevis, find peace, tranquillity and an abundance of wildlife on your doorstep. With secure storage for your mountain bike, spend the days walking and cycling before returning to recharge the batteries with a glass of wine in front of the warming wood burner. Kids will love the mezzanine-level snug area where they can chill in their own space to watch TV or play board games.

A double-height apex roof with skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows complements warm wooden floors, panelling and cream walls, creating a contemporary and bright interior. The cleverly designed layout maximises the open-plan space, with cosy corners to hide in and great areas to gather together in comfort and style. This lodge is both stylish and extremely comfortable with underfloor heating throughout the whole ground floor.

Light and bright, the fantastic open-plan living space has magnificent mountain and forest views which can be enjoyed from the dining table and the comfortable sofas. Centred around the wonderful central wood burner, cosy nights in can be had from all areas of the room after a day out exploring. Elegant and considered furniture, tasteful artwork and patterned soft furnishings create a modish yet welcoming feel.

Retaining the same character, the four bedrooms are spacious and fresh with ample storage space and wonderful views, with simple, elegant bathrooms where a long soak can be enjoyed. One double has an en-suite, so there will be no need to queue for the shower. The spacious king-size bedroom has a balcony that overlooks the lounge area and wonderful views from the wall-to-wall windows, so you wake with the sunlight flooding in.

In a splendid peaceful setting, relaxing on the large patio in the garden is wonderful at any time of the day. In the morning, wake with a wander in the surrounding woodland, coffee in hand and pup at your feet; in the evening, dine alfresco as the kids play on the lawn, and as the night draws in, pour a wee dram and star gaze across the magnificent Nevis range. Ample off-road parking is available in front of the lodge, and the shops in Fort William are 3 miles away.

The air fryer and the microwave had a single plug socket to plug in which means only one of those could be connected at a time. We had to plug in and out. Separate sockets would be good. The tv sound was not good, most likely due to the high ceiling open plan living room. A separate surround sound system would be better for that large space. The paRead moretio area was very basic looking. This nice property with the great Mountain View deserves a better patio design. Hide

For a group of 8 this house is very spacious, well equipped, warm and comfortable. Our family all enjoyed being there after a day out on the hills.

This lodge is set in a beautiful quiet setting. Great if you want to be in this Fort William area. Unfortunately we felt the lodge needed updating in several areas. .

Excellent location for a quiet holiday , great walking and scenery. There really isnt any shops or bars within walking distance, unless you want to walk into Fort William, which is about 80 minutes walk. The lodge is a little tired and needs a few things looking at. Blinds, window handles, paintwork etc . Few damp patches.

Large spacious lodge, with plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably and amazing views of Ben Nevis! Very quiet and peaceful, just a shame there wasnt any paths so you could walk through the 10 acres of woodlands and see the Highland cows

Nevis lodge is a wonderful , spacious wooden property ideal for a family get together like we had (5 adults, 3 kids, 2 dogs). The location is fantastic with lovely views of the forest regeneration on the farm and Ben Nevis beyond through the massive glass windows in the lounge / kitchen space. As Bethany states in her review in October 23 the propeRead morerty could do with a bit of maintenance and updating which would make the experience even better. Loads of walks and adventure activity options nearby. Hide
