Lovely Loch Ness Cottage
Lovely cottage just next to Loch Ness, surrounded by woodland and with a partial view of the Loch too. Parking was easy right outside and the accommodation was spacious with a comfy sofa! Kitchen was well-equipped and the shower was spacious too. The whole place was really clean and Tom was very welcoming when we arrived. The only downside was the midges who congregated outside the front door but that's to be expected given the location!

Beautiful secluded little lodge very close to Loch Ness. Inside the lodge was very clean, tastefully decorated and had all the mod cons needed for a lovely stay.

Beautiful surroundings but we felt that on reflection the property was in need of some TLC - washing machine out if order, no hot water to kitchen or bathroom sinks. Possibly not worth the overnight rate.

Thank you for your review. There is hot water and you were shown where the switch was to turn on. You stayed for one night, why would you use the washing machine when you had just arrived from home that day and going home the next. Everything in the lodge is new having just been refurbished including a new kitchen last year. The washing machine is being removed.

Fantastic Family and Dog+ Gem on Loch Ness!
Location is amazingly beautiful. Great for hiking and kids looking for Nessie. The hosts were extremely warm in welcoming us and friendly. My kids were very disappointed we only stayed one night. We will extend our trip to at least a couple of days next time. Also, good restaurants located about 3.5 miles away. The location is otherwise secluded, so bring in any foods needed.

Nice lodge with partial view of Loch Ness
Fantastic lodge on the edge of Loch Ness. Partial view of the loch. Lovely and quiet with helpful owners - unfortunately there were roadworks right outside the lodge on our last night meaning a lengthy detour which it would have been helpful to be warned about. Overall I would recommend this as a base for exploring Loch Ness.

A Gem
Wish we had scheduled more time here. Hosts were lovely and very helpful. Note that this is a self catering establishment. You can stop at the shops in the area for provisions or eat at one of many local restaurants. Great location to station ones self and travel in day trips in the area.

Excellent Cottage!
So far we have stayed in 5 different “hotels” or flats as a family and this one was everyone’s favorite! Owner Lyn was so helpful at check in and the place was so clean and cute. The bedding was luxurious and the beds and pillows were comfortable! We enjoyed all the surrounding amenities which the owners clearly laid out in a welcome book. Another very nice touch was that there was a “treat bowl” full of goodies for the kids and coffee, tea and milk for the parents in the morning. It was a very relaxing stay. One note, you must have a car if staying here as it is outside of town.

Top notch
The owners of these cottages are fantastic. They were kind, welcoming, and understanding. Some unfortunate rental car circumstances led us to be later than the check in time - I called the rental property to explain. They were fantastic! Helped us out over and above. It may seem a little out of Inverness, but it is a simple commute and worth it! Don’t miss out.

disappointing
dirty shower, dirty pans, not enough towels, washing machine non-functional, not even plumbed in. if you have 6 people staying cosy, but only sets of 6 things in the kitchen, which makes things interesting when cooking. A clock in the main part of the home would be helpful.

I am sorry that you had to write this review as we pride ourselves on our excellent feedback from our booking agency guests (please read our high ratings). As our reception is only a few yards away why did you not come and talk to us so that we could have done something about it? We have never had a bad review like yours from over 2000 people that stay with us each year. Our showers are spotless, our pots and pans are cleaned thoroughly especially after guests have washed and dried them. I am sorry about the washing machine as it wasnt plumbed in due to a new kitchen which had been installed. Why would we put more than 6 sets of cutlery, crockery, etc if only a max of 6 people can stay in the lodge. In your review, unlike, most others, you didnt mention one positive - wonderful forest location near Loch Ness, flat screen TV with Freesat, free wifi, free parking, new fully equipped kitchen, fully carpeted bedrooms, Great Glen Way 2 mins walk, wildlife such as deer, pinemarten, red squirrels and many birds. Please, always talk to the owners of small businesses such as ours rather than leave bad reviews. At least then we can see what needs to be rectified.

Modern, clean & cosy
The Cabin was tucked away right beside Loch Ness. The accommodation made really good use of a small space - comfortably sleeping 5 of us, with one on the sofa. The interior was all very modern, with modern essentials - hot shower, wifi, TV, cooking facilities. The cabin was spotless - very well cleaned. Finally, all of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely use again if in the area.

Lovely modern cottage close to Loch Ness
This was a lovely place to stay and very close to the water, though I'm not sure there is direct walking access to the shore. The cottage was clean, modern, and spacious. Couldn't have been happier with it.

Skøn cottage
Fantastisk dejlig hytte med meget god komfort og meget venlige og hjælpsomme værter. Man kan gå direkte til hytten fra the Great Glen Way, men det er ikke afmærket på ruten. Ulempen ved hyttens placering, som iøvrigt er smuk, er at vejen til indkøb kræver bil da hovedvejen er farlig at færdes ved gående.
