The cottage was just what we needed, very dog-friendlyand we had an amazing week. No issues at all, everything was spot on!
Emma
Honestly, we had a fantastic time! The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, plus some lovely touches like the surprise supplies from Wendy. Its location is perfect for walks, especially with Plodda Falls just a short drive away - we went twice! Our dog was totally happy with the secure garden, which was a big plus. We all loved our stay and definitely plan to return. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway!
Emma Carter

Great little cottage, super convenient for exploring the surroundings, loved it!
Emma
We had a lovely stay at this cosy place! The cottage was spotless and super comfy, perfect for relaxing. The landlady, Wendy, was really friendly and always willing to help. It's well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, plus books and jigsaws for rainy days-typical Scotland! The location is ideal, just outside Drumnadrochit, with a pub nearby serving great food. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day. We'd definitely come back!
Sarah
Beautiful place, welcoming hosts, cosy home, photos don't show its charm.
Emma
We had an amazing stay at this charming little cottage. The location is perfect for exploring Loch Ness and the surrounding sights. Wendy, the host, was lovely - she left some treats for us and was easy to reach if we needed anything. The place is super well-stocked; we only bought basics like toilet paper and bleach. The hot tub is a real highlight, especially with the kids - it's huge! Honestly, we'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy getaway with plenty of space and comfort. We'll be back for sure!
Jamie
We had a lovely stay at the cottage! It stayed warm even without using the log burner, which was a bonus. Everything was spotlessand there were plenty of facilities and equipment to make our stay comfortable. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! The location was easy to findand we appreciated all the leaflets about local walks. Wendy was super helpful and quick to reply. We'd definitely recommend visiting Divach and Plodda Falls - great spots! It was a really enjoyable trip.
Emma
Loved our stay here! The cottage was perfect for a romantic getaway, with easy access to lovely walks and a charming village. Close to a nice pub and shop, though we didn't see Nessie! Definitely recommend.
Emma
We absolutely loved our stay here! The location near Loch Ness is perfect for a peaceful breakand the cottage itself was cosy and spotless. Our dog loved the secure gardenand we appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. The underfloor heating was a blessing, especially with the log burner for chilly evenings. The hot tub was great for relaxing after long walks. There are plenty of pubs and a supermarket nearbyand we enjoyed exploring the many trails straight from the doorstep with the maps provided. Definitely recommend!
Jamie
We spent ages searching for a pet-friendly place in a quiet town, but still close to amenities and a few casual bars. This place really was a find! It ticked all our boxes - super clean, private hot tuband a fenced garden perfect for our dog. Wendy was lovely, texting us ahead of check-in to let us know it was ready, which we really appreciated. She was friendly but not intrusive at all. Honestly, it's probably our best holiday rental so far!
Alex
From the moment we arrived, the place felt warm and cosy, making our stay truly special. We can't wait to come back soon!
James
What a charming cottage! It's really well kept and has everything we needed, plus the hot tub was a lovely bonus and ready to go when we arrived. The owner was super helpful, answering all our questions about local spots and days out. There were loads of leaflets too, making planning easy. We're already looking to come back!
James
We had a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage. It was well stocked with everything we needed, which was great. The owner was really friendly and helpful throughout. The arrival touch with Prosecco, cakeand biscuits was a nice surprise-made us feel welcome right away! There's a handy co-op just five minutes walkand a fantastic Italian nearby where we ordered a delicious pizza takeaway. Loch Ness Inn is right across the roadand we booked Saturday night early because it was busy. The centre of Drumnadrochit is only about 10-15 mins walkand Loch Ness is an easy 13-minute drive. We'd definitely come back!
Oliver
Just got back yesterday. What a fantastic cottage! The layout is great and it's in a brilliant location, really quiet. The standard is high all around, very cleanand Wendy, the owner, left loads of nice extras like cookies, strawberries, fudge cakeand prosecco! Lots of lovely touches, plus the tea, coffeeand pantry cupboard had useful things in it. There was plenty of cleaning stuff like dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid too. It was a very pleasant breakand the outdoor area with the amazing hot tub and dining space was a great way to unwind after a busy day. My 12-year-old twins absolutely loved it!
James
What a fantastic bungalow! The location was perfect, definitely a solid 10 out of 10.
Clara
There are lots of little extras that really made everything easier, like spices and cooking items. The location is super central but not right in the bustling city. We highly recommend it!
Sarah
This cottage is just lovely with fab amenities! The log burner kept the living room super warm and cosy. We absolutely loved the hot tub, which was in a nice enclosed garden. Plus, the Loch Ness Inn is just a five-minute walk away and it served good food and local beers!
