Each with en-suite, the three bedrooms include storage and a view to the outdoors, starting with a king-size with en-suite shower room with marble-look tiles for a contemporary feel, with the bedroom walls painted to reflect the colours of the landscape and the distant mountains, a king-size with an en-suite bathroom, perfect for a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles after a long days hike, a twin filled with natural light and homely décor, sporting an en-suite wet room, and the hidden gem of the house; a sauna equipped with its own shower, an amazing touch to such a beautiful property and one guests are sure to love.

  • Lorna

    Very spacious and comfortable property. Lovely views and plenty to do in the area. Loved the sauna. The owner was very friendly and welcomed us on our arrival. We will be back.

  • Susan

    The sauna is a lovely touch after long days walking to warm up and ease the muscles. A real home from home. Thanks for the water cooler too - it was superb, as you said, and we managed to drink it all in a week! The shower was lovely and powerful and we enjoyed a hot bath after our days out in the mountains. The location is excellent. We got out as far as the Cairngorms and Aviemore went up the mountain. We went up the gondola at the Nevis Range and on to Fort William and then over to Ullapool via the gorge on another day. Just taking a full tour around Loch Ness is a day out in itself with varied landscapes. We walked down into Drumnadrochit one day for lunch at the Fiddlers. It isn't far at all but it is a very steep walk. So much to do in the area and wonderful to have the warm, comfortable Glenview to come back to.

    Another great feature was the water cooler with some of the local ‘Fionnar’ spring water, which was very refreshing! This property has absolutely beautiful views overlooking Drumnadrochit - sitting in the living room was an absolute pleasure at any time of day. The house was really spacious and comfortable - the convenience of en-suites for every room was also a great feature. We really enjoyed our stay here and it was a perfect base for exploring the many beautiful areas in and around Loch Ness.
