Finally, a visit to this area of Scotland wouldn't be complete without a day trip to Loch Ness (12 miles).

The iconic ruins of Urquhart Castle, one of Scotland’s most popular attractions is located on the shore of Loch Ness and is set against a back drop of the hills of the Great Glen.

The windows don't shut properly, as one of the nights we were there was windy and very cold, we hardly could get it warm inside. As for the rest: it's a lovely house.

Really great cottage with everything that you need. The location was great and made a good base for exploring. The kitchen had everything that we needed and all modern. The main bedroom was lovely and so were the other rooms. If you are tall (over 6ft) you might struggle upstairs. Overall it was a great stay. Note: there is no phone signal but greaRead moret wifi. Make sure you also have a food delivery for when you arrive. Hide

The cottage is great and well equipped and it is really comfortable. Great walks. Sad to see the cafe has closed and the hotel is ordinary without charging ordinary prices. Please take your own wine and food otherwise if you eat out it is both disappointing and irrationally expensive.

We absolutely loved this beautiful, clean and cosy cottage. Everything has been well thought out by the owners to make it a special stay. I took my elderly Nan who has reduced mobility and the downstairs bathroom and bedroom were perfect for her. Location is remote however surrounded by beautiful walks and views. We cannot wait to book again!

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage with everything we needed for self catering. Good walks from the doorstep without having to drive anywhere. Plodda falls is a must especially when it's frozen!! The cottage was spotlessly clean and the caretaker gave us a good welcome and imparted her local knowledge to us. Thank you.

Beautiful cottage in an amazing location. Swallow has lots to offer and we find it the ideal stay for our family. Lovely cosy living room and dine in kitchen. Its a shame that bedding and towels are still not included post Covid but it doesnt put us off booking. If youre looking for self catering in the highlands this is the perfect spot.
