Located just moments from the mythical Loch Ness, this cosy cottage is the country retreat you've been dreaming of. Fire up the wood-burning stove when you arrive and curl up for a memorable weekend in one of the UK's most beautiful landscapes. The two-person home sits in the charming village of Drumnadrochit, where there are plenty of scenic walks and traditional pubs for you to enjoy. Urquhart Woods is five minutes from your front door, while in half an hour you can reach the crumbling castle that overlooks the lake. Inverness if just thirty minutes up the road, if you feel like breaking up the quiet time with an afternoon in Scotland's northernmost city. When you're not exploring, your cottage provides a tranquil haven that's designed for lazy mornings and relaxing evenings. Stick your favourite Netflix show on the TV as you wake up in the plush king-sized bed, and crack open the window so you can listen to the local birdsong. The kitchen is perfect for whipping up quick bites to enjoy at the breakfast bar – come Sunday, the nearest spot for a roast is just across the road.

Local guide


About Inverness

With Loch Ness right next door, empty Glens dotting the countryside and the Speyside whisky region just down the road, folk tend to use Inverness as a base for exploring the untamed Scottish Highlands. But lingering a while in this small city has its rewards. Strolling between the willow trees on the banks of the River Ness and catching a glimpse of Inverness Castle is just one of those rewards....
