Lovely foresters cottage, amazing Loch Ness views, private beach, pets welcome

Stunning Loch Ness cottage with its own private beach ! On the banks of Loch Ness this traditional stone built semi-detached foresters cottage has a real wow factor the moment you arrive. Beautifully restored two bedroomed cottage with panoramic views up and down the world famous Loch Ness. A secure fenced garden and your own private beach make this a hugely popular cottage. There is no road between the cottage and the water (unlike most other Loch Ness cottages) - zero traffic noise, incredibly quiet and peaceful. The Cottage is available all year round - including for Xmas and New Year. It does book up quickly, especially for summer, Xmas/New Year and school holidays, with such spectacular views, Loch Ness location and two private beaches - so don't leave it too long. (discounts for returning customers outside of peak season). Free unlimited broadband internet access - just bring your laptop. From 04 June 2022 to 10 September 2022 only Saturday to Saturday bookings are possible (minimum 7 nights).


From the moment you arrive you will be amazed at the beauty and setting of this unique cottage. As it is on the shore of Loch Ness, you can look out for Nessie (the Loch Ness monster) at all times of the day and during the long bright summer evenings. The cottage has a lounge/conservatory from which you can sit and watch the ever-changing loch, sunsets, wildlife and mountains. Two comfortable, well-equipped bedrooms (one twin, one double) also with stunning loch views, ensure you will sleep well in the peace and quiet of the private countryside location.

The well-appointed kitchen allows you to enjoy preparing the rich variety of local produce available at local Farmers Markets and from local producers. Inverness city is only 16 miles away (25 minute drive) and you have ample car parking space at the cottage for any number of vehicles.

The wildlife will also amaze you with dozens of birds visiting the garden bird house, regular sightings of red and sika deer, pine martens, pheasants, osprey, woodpeckers, red squirrels, bats and at night you are guaranteed to hear the occasional owl.

With Freeview TV, home entertainment, board games, CDs and DVDs you are ensured of a fun time inside or out. Fishing is allowed from either of The Cottage's private beaches (there is a shingle and a rock beach), accessible down steps from the garden. Visitors have caught brown trout & salmon. Fort Augustus is 25 minutes away with its stunning locks and restaurants. The nearby village of Foyers (2 miles away) has a post office, general store and cafe. Free unlimited broadband access - just bring your laptop. The Cottage is available all year round. It quickly books up, especially for the summer months. One quote sums it up 'This comfortable cottage is my idea of heaven.

The most beautiful views of Loch Ness from every room, we will definitely be back !' You won't be disappointed.

Great little property
Just returned from few nights stay at the Cottage, had great time chilling out away from any hustle & bustle. Cottage was easy to find, don’t be put off by the directions / remoteness, look out for the post box and you can’t miss your turning. Cottage layout felt bit odd as your straight into the lounge, so bit of a faff getting dirty boots etc off but once your inside all is fine. Kitchen is well equipped for basic cooking and meal preparation, although the hob took a bit of messing about to figure out, theres plenty of room in the dining room. The beach was great to just get a fire going and switch off. Couple of great walks through the woods alongside the Loch, Foyers falls is only about 1hour walk away with cafe etc to visit, if you want to venture a bit further there’s plenty of other places to drive to, but most things are at least 30min away.

Peace and beautiful scenery
This was my second winter holiday at The Cottage, if you are looking for a quiet place with incredible views then this is perfect. Literally 10 minutes to Foyers Waterfalls, 20 minutes from Dores beach where you can get a great meal and then an extra 10 minutes takes you to Inverness where you can find plenty to do from bars to boat rides , history, castles etc.

Loch side cottage
The cottage was perfect for my partner and I as well as our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and spent the days exploring the many forest walks locally. It is out of the way (30/40 mins to inverness) but that's why we chose it. The pebble beach is down a set of steps and has some fantastic views along the Loch. All in all we had a fantastic time and all the locals we met were extremely friendly.
