An excellent base for a Highland holiday, this historic Category B-listed building sleeps ten guests and two four-pawed pals across five bedrooms, perfect for a large family or group of friends. With interiors that really capture the imagination, period features blend with contemporary touches, creating character in abundance, and the two lounges let teens and adults both grab a moment of peace and solitude after a busy day together. With beautiful views, walks from the door, and Inverness and all its amenities close by, there is something for everyone.

Traditional and elegant, the many original elements such as the open fireplace, exposed beams and wooden panelling are beautifully complemented by period furniture and floral-motif textiles. Pale walls are dotted with colourful artwork in the lounge, with large windows making it bright during the day, but once the open fire is lit, the cosy amber ambience is perfect for an evening of rest and relaxation.

Discard your outdoor gear in the hall before stepping into this stylish home. Cook up a storm in the charming kitchen/diner where large windows and cream fittings create a spacious and bright setting. Enjoy quick bites at the table or more formal meals in the dining room, where doors lead out to the terrace allowing for lovely views over the glen. The two lounges still retain many of the original characters that made this a classic Scottish home from centuries ago. Both boast TVs and, with a wood burner in one and an open fire in the other, there are plenty of places for your kids to warm their toes and your pup to enjoy a snooze.

The five, wood-panelled, double bedrooms boast lovely crisp linens and fine antique and vintage pieces, making a welcoming refuge at the end of your day. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill shower room, whilst another has an adjoining nursery, great for families with young children. The bathrooms retain the same character, with the baths perfect for a long soak.

Outside, the front facing terrace is ideal for maximising the outstanding views, and perfect for indulging in a spot of al fresco dining. Watch the sun come up with a morning coffee and, in the evening, recline with a wee dram to gaze at the starry night sky. Surrounded by trees, children and dogs will love exploring the lawned garden. There is ample private parking and the village is 2 miles away.

What an amazing place! The lodge is truly special with the most amazing views of the surrounding countryside. It is perfectly equipped, well situated and really cozy, a proper home from home. A big thanks to Brian the caretaker who was really helpful and super chatty, and to Vincent whose helpful correspondence prior to the trip made things really Read moreeasy. The area is great for all outdoor activities, the village and pub a short walk, and for going further afield this is a great base. 10 out of 10! Hide

This is a truly magical place. It is a home, not a hotel in light disguise, with memorable, profound beauty leavened by occasional eccentricity. The lodge has been modernized to make it properly comfortable, with central heating and good bathrooms, but if youre expecting California King beds, you will find traditional Scottish doubles - and as the Read morelow lintels on the doors prove, the Scots were rarely tall in the 1860s. Breathe deep, enjoy the views, the falls, the woods and the birds. Hide

What a great time we had! All made that bit better with the comforts of the well equipped Divach Lodge. A great location well out of the way of major traffic and noise. We would certainly look to hire again.
