Nestled amongst spectacular Scottish landscapes which are home to fantastic wildlife, this home is perfect for those wishing to escape the everyday and experience a taste of Highland living. Sleeping eight, grab family and friends and head to this humble abode for a real rural retreat. Bring canine companions along too and hunt down some stick chasing spots before returning home to snuggle up by the roaring wood burner, which promises to keep chilly toes and tufty paws warm when there’s a chill in the air. Wake up each day and admire the glorious views across the Monadhlaith Mountains with a cup of tea in hand and then head outside to pursue exciting adventures.

Relax and take a moment to unwind in the bright lounge area. Perfectly suited to both rainy and sunny days, a wood burner offers comfort and warmth and large patio doors can be thrown open to let the sunlight flood inside. Curl up and put the TV on or lose yourself in a good book and forget the everyday routine which you have left behind. The hub of the house is the open-plan kitchen/diner; spacious and light this is a great room for a communal cup of tea and a natter about the day. Rustle up tasty treats, party picnics and magical meals for all to enjoy and then dine at the table and savour each mouthful as you overlook the surrounding grounds. Perfectly suited to those who might have mobility issues is the delightful ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower room. Settle down for the night without having to climb any stairs and wake up ready for the day ahead.

Heading up to the first floor you can find the remaining three bedrooms. All of these rooms are pleasantly decorated for your comfort and offer tranquil environments to rest tired eyes and catch up on some much-needed sleep following days spent out and about. A family bathroom has a handheld shower so you can soak aching muscles or freshen up quickly, whichever you fancy.

Enjoy your very own private garden and spend mornings outside with a mug of coffee and evenings under the stars with a glass of something cold in hand. Those with tails can sniff new Scottish scents and chase their tails whilst stretching their legs and pricking up their ears. A river runs along the bottom of the garden, dip your toes in the water or try your luck at trout fishing! There is ample parking at this property.

The view from the cottage was amazing! Great for spotting wildlife. Location is great for Loch Ness and there is loads to do near by. Cottage is spacious and has everything you could possibly need. Lovely to have a wood burner. Would love to go back.
