The Cottage on Loch Ness, with panoramic views.

MarieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We arrived as it had just turned dark so didn't get to see the fabulous views until the following morning. It was beautiful. The dogs loved having their own little beach on the Loch and we were so lucky with the weather. We took a trip to Fort Augustus and hopped on a Nessie cruise, definitely worth the £20 each scenery was stunning. Would definitely recommend the cottage for comfort,peace, tranquility and views.

Amazing loch views from cheerful 2 bed cabin

CarolRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The lodge was beautiful and just as described . Unfortunately for us the weather was against us so we didn’t manage to do the walks we wanted to but we stayed warm and cosy in the lodge surrounded by the lovely views . Morag is a great host, answered every query quickly and was really helpful with queries about the drive and the ferry . Would definitely recommend and hope to go back again to do those walks and explore the area .

Cardwell Bay Gourock

AgnetaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Had fantastic time in Lisa's flat even with Storm Eowyn keeping us indoors on the Friday. This is the second time I have booked it the first being for my son, daughter & son-in-law for my father's funeral. This time it was for my sister and myself. Can't complement it enough and its a lovely place to stay between Greenock and Gourock. We will use it the next time we visit Scotland.

Highland Escapes - Newtonmore

EmmaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We stayed here for a family get together with 6 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. The area in newtonmore is so lovely, quiet and so many beautiful walks nearby. You are a five minute walk from beautiful Scottish landscapes. The kids had so much fun finding the wildcats around the town. The house was lovely and spacious- much bigger than we thought because of the photos. Museum was also in walking distance which is free (just asked for donations). The house was very clean and had all amenities we needed along with lots of board games and DVDs. The TV has been upgraded since the photos also. Mark was responsive to messages and sorted anything we asked for. Overall a very enjoyable stay and we will 100% be back. Thanks again☺️

Highland Home With Outstanding Views

RubyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Michele’s home was a wonderful place for us to spend some time with extended family in Scotland. Its location overlooking Inverness was beautiful. Great spot to chill out. There is a bus stop in easy reach of the house if you don’t have a car with you or a 10 minute drive into Inverness itself. Lots of space for everyone inside so we never felt we were on top of each other. Really comfortable beds! A real home from home and will definitely come back here on a return trip to Inverness

An Outdoor Enthusiasts Slice of Heaven

JesseRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We came up all the way from Somerset to stay for 4 days for my partners birthday - she'd never been to Scotland and I hadn't been for years. Karen and Uisdeans place is a little slice of heaven. Tucked away near the Caledonian Canal and Loch Lochy it is divine. We managed to explore all the way out to Oban and to Skye whilst staying here, as well as some more local sites like Glenfinnan and Loch Eil, and Loch Ness. We were lucky enough to have snow whilst here which made the place even more beautiful and peaceful. We got engaged whilst up here as well so a totally special stay - we'll definitely be back here, it holds so many amazing memories for us. Karen and Uisdean are so helpful and lovely, with loads of info provided if needed, and a lovely tour of the property. They even left some dog treats, a dog blanket and a cushion for our puppy! Would 100% recommend to anyone heading out this way.

Askival

ReneeRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Alison was a wonderful host for her place from giving us excellent directions (we came in after dark and still found it easily) to checking us in personally. We communicated with her that we had left later than planned and would be getting there late so we certainly didn't expect a personal check-in, but it was much appreciated. The place itself is a charming croft and a small distance from Spean Bridge into the countryside. The views are gorgeous and the interior is welcoming and well equipped. For us it was a central location for exploring - .5 hour to Fort William, 1.5 hrs to Glen Creran, and slighly less than 2 hrs to Kyle of Lochalsh and the Skybridge to the Isle of Skye, etc. We would hike all day and come home late to make a last meal and sleep. Having a washer and dryer in a mud room area was fabulous with mud on our hikes. We would definitely stay here again both for the scenery and the hospitality.

Spacious colonial style Villa

IlonaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This was exactly the kind of break we all needed! We are a group of wild swimmers, and the location was perfect for us. We swam in lochs, in the sea, spotted dolphins, seals, and deer - but not Nessy! Check in was smooth, there was a lovely welcome basket of goodies for us. The beds were made up beautifully, with more than one pillow each! The kitchen is well stocked, with all the utensils/pots that you need to be able to prepare fresh meals, and great size mugs for a decent hot drink! When the temperature dropped on the second evening, our hosts had the heating turned up for us with half an hour. Any message sent to the host were answered immediately! All in all, we had an amazing stay, a perfect house, in the most amazing location!
