Cottage in The Highlands

About this property

This stunning lochside cottage in Drumnadrochit is surrounded by untouched and unspoilt Scottish scenery. Ideal for those looking to embrace the beautiful surrounds and peaceful tranquillity of this exquisitely rugged part of Scotland, it's unsurprising this A lister has been featured in so many TV series and magazines. Charming yet humble, it is a retreat like no other and perfect for discerning adventurers looking for exploration and luxury in equal doses. It was subject of a monster sighting and two page spread in the Daily Mail in May 2022. This traditional croft cottage sleeps four and is ideal for a Highland escape. After a day exploring bracken clad hills and picnicking down by the lake, the lounge offers a cosy welcome throw peat on the fire and enjoy a warming drink or two. The most idyllic place to escape reality for a while, replace your phone with one of the 50 rare books in the cottage detailing the history of the area or enjoy a bit of television before thoughts turn to dinner. The oak floored kitchen with its glorious Rangemaster oven is sure to tempt any budding chefs within the family. Meals will be a lovely shared experience in the kitchen's fireside dining area. At the end of the day, make your way upstairs where you will find both double bedrooms with lakeview windows from which to glimpse the nighttime still waters. As well as the bedrooms, there is also a bathroom on the first floor, which features a shower and WC and has two access doors: one from the hallway and one from the master bedroom. Set within 3 acres of land and surrounded by undulating hills covered with thickets of ancient trees, you don't have to go far to immerse yourself in nature. Closer to the property, you can make the most of three purpose built viewing points to take in the incredible panoramas, particularly beautiful in the snowy depths of winter. Equally stunning in the summertime, you can explore to your heart's content, before returning to relax on the garden furniture and firing up the BBQ; a rural paradise, the only visitors you can expect to join your party might be the majestic roe deer or pheasants who occasionally visit the grounds.
