Discover one of Scotland's most famous legends, with a stay adjacent to the mysterious Loch Ness. Enjoy a 0.5-mile riverside walk to the local pub, or venture 9 miles to Fort Augustus for restaurants, shops and waterside bars. From here you can also view the popular Caledonian Canal, which stretches from Inverness to the Loch Eil. Rent a boat for a unique way to see the canal or either loch. The area surrounding the property boasts plenty of woodland to explore and local wildlife and birds dotted around, including Scottish otters and roe deer. For those looking for more of an outdoor adventure, the edge of the Cairngorms National Park is just under 35 miles away.

Enter this bright family property and head straight on through to the open-plan living area, which offers a kitchen, lounge and dining room in one sociable space. The kitchen is a vast place in which to prepare breakfast or a picnic for the day of exploring ahead. Make use of the fridge/freezer, electric oven, microwave and dishwasher, then sit down at the dining table to enjoy time together. The lounge is a cosy space to relax in the evening, with a wood burner alongside a TV with DVD. This floor boasts a utility room, perfect for storing muddy boots and for utilising the washing machine and tumble dryer. A double bedroom with en-suite WC and shower room completes this floor. Heading into the first floor, one double bedroom and two twin bedrooms provide the remainder of space for everyone to rest. A shared family bathroom can be found on this floor, featuring a bath with hand-held shower and WC.

The private garden can be accessed via large patio doors in the lounge, which also works to fill the living space with light. Wooden benches provide a place to read a book in the warmer months. The garden is not enclosed but is far-reaching, and the River Fechlin runs through the bottom of it, making fishing easy to do from the comfort of your own home. Ample parking is available to the front of the house.

We had a wonderful time in the cottage. The view is beautiful and there's a lovely garden, save for the children. The house is very clean and had all the comfort you need on holiday. It's a very peaceful and quiet place to enjoy your holiday.
