We recently spent a week here with one dog. The cottage has a certain rustic charm, and you can imagine many happy family memories being made here over the years. It is a little tired in places but nothing that would prevent you enjoying your stay. The grounds are enclosed and perfect for animals and children alike. Sadly we didn't have the best weather while we were here, but as the location is excellent to get around for sightseeing we just focussed on indoor attractions rather than outdoor. Loch Ness Museum and indoor tour was excellent and is only a 30 min drive from the Cottage. We would happily return.

An excellent cottage, next to the A9 to ensure great access to the sights. A few miles to Inverness, so shopping is definitely not a problem. Beautiful enclosed garden. Beautiful cottage inside, as well. Great holiday ensured, whatever the weather.
