About this property
This privately situated and stylish ground floor apartment is set on the edge of the green in the middle of the small village of Foyers on the banks of Loch Ness. The apartment is a simply perfect holiday base for a couple who want to explore the wonderful shores of Loch Ness and the surrounding area. Wendy's Place is very well presented with its smart furnishings, quality fittings and tasteful touches making sure that visitors will love the space and comfort on offer here. The bedroom overlooks the front garden and comes complete with orthopaedic mattress, White Company sheets and two hot water bottles if required! There is a fabulous bathroom with underfloor heating and a large open plan living area with a very well-equipped kitchen and spacious yet cosy sitting room complete with woodburning stove, ensuring comfort and relaxation. On warmer days you can enjoy sitting in the small private garden, where the tops of the surrounding mountains can be viewed over the picturesque village green, relaxing after a busy day exploring the area. The apartment is ideally situated for those who want to put on their boots and leave the car behind whilst they set off and enjoy the fabulous forest walks and pathways that lead down to the shores of the Loch including the South Loch Ness Way and the Red Squirrel Trail. It is also a great base for touring the area with this part of Scotland having much to offer. You are spoilt for choice for places to eat and drink in the village, all within walking distance. The Waterfall Cafe and the Camerons are good for a hearty breakfast or lunch. The Craigdarroch Hotel has a welcoming local pub and Foyers House keeps a perfect lit bar offering over 100 malt whiskys, both of which offer food throughout the day. A pleasant three mile walk through forest and fields takes you to the Whitebridge Inn, another good place to eat. The Dores Inn is a popular bar/restaurant with a stunning loch view that provides complimentary transport for those who might prefer a drink with their dinner. The capital city of the Highlands, Inverness is well worth exploring and of course the Culloden Battlefield has to be on the to do list. On the other side of the loch is the atmospheric Urquhart Castle in the popular town of Drumnadrochit. From Inverness, visitors can take to the water and join a Dolphin Watch Cruise where not only the dolphins can be enjoyed but the views from the water are fabulous.
So much to see and do with this lovely apartment ensuring a great holiday to be remembered for a very long time. EPC Rating: Band C
Foyers is a pretty highland village situated on the quiet eastern banks of Loch NessI The village itself boasts a village shop and post office along with a friendly cafe. Foyers is perhaps most famous for its spectacular 140ft waterfall known as the Falls of Foyers where the River Foyers drops into a gorge leading into Loch Ness. The road from Inverness into Foyers can be continued through the village and along this quieter side of the famous Loch and eventually you will arrive in the busier village of Fort Augustus which has some nice shops and restaurants.

As a non car owner the cottage was perfect for me as it is just a few metres away from the village bus stop. It is within easy walking distance of both the village shop / cafe and the farm shop / bistro. Local woodland trails start almost from the door, including to one of the most impressive waterfalls in Scotland, the Falls of Foyers. (Over 200 steps down, but worth it, and you can always get the bus back up to the cottage !)
