Lovely foresters cottage, amazing Loch Ness views, private beach, pets welcome

Stunning Loch Ness cottage with its own private beach ! On the banks of Loch Ness this traditional stone built semi-detached foresters cottage has a real wow factor the moment you arrive. Beautifully restored two bedroomed cottage with panoramic views up and down the world famous Loch Ness. A secure fenced garden and your own private beach make this a hugely popular cottage. There is no road between the cottage and the water (unlike most other Loch Ness cottages) - zero traffic noise, incredibly quiet and peaceful. The Cottage is available all year round - including for Xmas and New Year. It does book up quickly, especially for summer, Xmas/New Year and school holidays, with such spectacular views, Loch Ness location and two private beaches - so don't leave it too long. (discounts for returning customers outside of peak season). Free unlimited broadband internet access - just bring your laptop. From late June to early September each year only Saturday to Saturday bookings are possible (minimum 7 nights).

From the moment you arrive you will be amazed at the beauty and setting of this unique cottage. As it is on the shore of Loch Ness, you can look out for Nessie (the Loch Ness monster) at all times of the day and during the long bright summer evenings. The cottage has a lounge/conservatory from which you can sit and watch the ever-changing loch, sunsets, wildlife and mountains. Two comfortable, well-equipped bedrooms (one twin - downstairs, and one double - upstairs) also with stunning loch views, ensure you will sleep well in the peace and quiet of the private countryside location.

The well-appointed kitchen allows you to enjoy preparing the rich variety of local produce available at local Farmers Markets and from local producers. Inverness city is only 16 miles away (25 minute drive) and you have ample car parking space at the cottage for any number of vehicles.

The wildlife will also amaze you with dozens of birds visiting the garden bird house, regular sightings of red and sika deer, pine martens, pheasants, osprey, woodpeckers, red squirrels, bats and at night you are guaranteed to hear the occasional owl.

With Freeview TV, home entertainment, board games, CDs and DVDs you are ensured of a fun time inside or out. Fishing is allowed from either of The Cottage's private beaches (there is a shingle and a rock beach), accessible down steps from the garden. Visitors have caught brown trout & salmon. Fort Augustus is 25 minutes away with its stunning locks and restaurants. The nearby village of Foyers (2 miles away) has a post office, general store and cafe. Free unlimited broadband access - just bring your laptop. The Cottage is available all year round. It quickly books up, especially for the summer months. One quote sums it up 'This comfortable cottage is my idea of heaven. The most beautiful views of Loch Ness from every room, we will definitely be back !' You won't be disappointed.

A Slice of Paradise

The property was just perfect for the four of us, well equipped and Location, Location, Location......WOW! Our own private beach for a week to chill, yet close enough to visit the City of Inverness. Our 2 dogs were in their element. Of Course and the host, last but certainly NOT least! Turan responded to all our messages promptly and professionally. No stone left unturned. 100% attentive. Without a doubt, we will return. Thankyou again for a brilliant holiday.

Needs updating

Great location how ever grill did not work properly the rings to cook took 15 minutes to warm up could not have hot food. The conservatory where you sit needs blinds as sun beating through windows to hot and you can’t see tv because of the sun. The amenities and the little touches make the stay better. I noticed that a picture of the stairs was not in the shots they need to be as some people would not be able to go upstairs as they are hard to manage for some .

Peaceful Lich Ness

Returned here because it is an ideal spot if you want stunning scenery, access to a rocky beach, private, cosy cottage and peace. We love the cottage because it is comfortable, warm and ideally placed away from the crowds, nut close to beautiful walks and local attractions. Will be returning.

Great little property

Just returned from few nights stay at the Cottage, had great time chilling out away from any hustle & bustle. Cottage was easy to find, don’t be put off by the directions / remoteness, look out for the post box and you can’t miss your turning. Cottage layout felt bit odd as your straight into the lounge, so bit of a faff getting dirty boots etc off but once your inside all is fine. Kitchen is well equipped for basic cooking and meal preparation, although the hob took a bit of messing about to figure out, theres plenty of room in the dining room. The beach was great to just get a fire going and switch off. Couple of great walks through the woods alongside the Loch, Foyers falls is only about 1hour walk away with cafe etc to visit, if you want to venture a bit further there’s plenty of other places to drive to, but most things are at least 30min away.

Rustic Cottage with great potential

Our family definitely enjoyed our stay in Scotland and at "the cottage". We loved being on the Loch and the privacy offered. After reading other reviews I definitely had higher expectations at first though. The cottage was very cold when we arrived (we did get this regulated and much warmer for the duration of our stay) and I felt a hand rail should be provided for safety when climbing to the second floor bedroom. You can definitely see the upgrades that have been done (new windows, trim, shower) but I would suggest replacing the carpet in the dining area and main part of the cottage as it is looking very worn now. After that a weekend to do some minor repairs (drawer and cupboard doors in the kitchen) and a quick coat of paint to freshen it up again will certainly increase it's rating in my eyes. A highlight was the conservatory with it's windows all around- great place to relax. The cottage is about 25 minute drive from Inverness so be sure to leave travel time in your itinery. We competed lots of great day trips- tour to Falls at Foyer, Castles in Elgin, Banff, Stirling, Fort George, day in Inverness- all were interesting and part of the Scotland experience Iain and Turan were a delight to deal with and I wish them great success with their cottage. We certainly enjoyed ourselves here.

Wonderful wee cottage

Loved our stay! Views are incredible- everything we needed for cooking meals was there. Water pressure in the shower was wonderful and it’s a gorgeous easy drive into Inverness for any adventure. Even had some wildlife visit- perfect wee cottage to enjoy quiet and nature!

Great location!

This cabin is set in a beautiful spot right on the shores of Loch Ness! We used it as a point to explore the Cairngorms, Ben Nevis, and Fort William. Americans: we assumed barbecue grill meant an outdoor grill; please note that it is merely the grill function in the oven like a broiler. The stove and oven don’t have markings so are a fun challenge. Also note that towels are provided for a 5-pound added fee each. The four season room is terrific and we spent most of our time there when we were at the cabin!

Very nice cottage in secluded location

We loved our stay here! The cottage is spacious and very, very quiet. It is secluded so having a car and driving is a necessity. Having private access to the lakeshore was a bonus and we had a small fire the last night there as the weather cooperated.

Beautiful cottage

Beautiful cottage and fantastic views of the loch. Beautiful walks and scenery within walking distance. The couch is a bit uncomfortable to sit on after a days hiking. Would definitely turn the dining room into a living room to relax in at night as the views from there are spectacular. Please put a blind in the toilet .

This was my second winter holiday at The Cottage, if you are looking for a quiet place with incredible views then this is perfect. Literally 10 minutes to Foyers Waterfalls, 20 minutes from Dores beach where you can get a great meal and then an extra 10 minutes takes you to Inverness where you can find plenty to do from bars to boat rides , history, castles etc.

Loch side cottage

The cottage was perfect for my partner and I as well as our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and spent the days exploring the many forest walks locally. It is out of the way (30/40 mins to inverness) but that's why we chose it. The pebble beach is down a set of steps and has some fantastic views along the Loch. All in all we had a fantastic time and all the locals we met were extremely friendly.
