Loch Views. Urquhart Bay Croft is a brand new luxury self-catered renovation with beautiful views across Loch Ness and Glen Urquhart. Downstairs it has a double height entrance hallway, one king-size bedroom, and separate family bathroom, while upstairs it boasts a fully equipped open plan kitchen/dining area, lounge with comfy sofa and free standing log burner, and double doors opening to decked area and the wider south facing garden. We are Simon and Annie Greenlay. We first saw Urquhart Bay cottage in 2014 and fell in love with it. We have run Urquhart Bay BnB for 2yrs(see our other listings for reviews). We knew immediately that we wanted to live in this peaceful place with its one-of-a-kind views over Loch Ness. The Croft is our latest project that we have put our heart and soul into, and look forward to sharing it with our guests. The Croft is ideally situated close to the beautiful Highland village of Drumnadrochit, and is only a 2 minute walk from the iconic Urquhart Castle. It sits in extensive private gardens to explore offering stunning views of Loch Ness and Glen Urquhart. Downstairs, there is a large kingsize bedroom with original bothy window offering views from the bed across the loch, and a separate luxury bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower with rain head. Upstairs, there is a large open plan kitchen/diner and lounge with free standing log burner, that also has a pull out sofa bed for children. We have worked with local craftsmen to restore and enhance the original building, so that you are never far from a view of the Loch(even from your bed!), and couldn’t be closer to the iconic Urquhart Castle, just a few minutes’ walk away. For the cosier evenings we have a large log burner, SMART TV and high speed WiFi available throughout. The Croft is furnished to a very high standard, with many items hand crafted and knitted. Guests can expect high quality toiletries, Egyptian cotton linen throughout, and we are happy to provide fresh eggs from our free range highland hens. The Croft is a great base to explore the highlands, and there are many walking routes directly from the doorstep to explore the local views across the iconic Loch, or bump into some of the local wildlife such as many local deer or birds of prey who live near the Loch. We have plenty of parking available and are a short walk from the local village of Drumnadrochit. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Egyptian cotton sheets - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29510000/29502600/29502542/e80853f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely foresters cottage, amazing Loch Ness views, private beach, pets welcome Inverfarigaig, Loch Ness - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 147 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=29502542&PinnedHotelID=29502542&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23290000/23280600/23280535/ae2c8c07.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mor Carraig - Stunning Views Of Loch Ness - Perfect For Families And Couples Abriachan - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 111 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=23280535&PinnedHotelID=23280535&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, Lake View](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24950000/24947100/24947062/e0886a50.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Loch Ness Cottages Inverness - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Parking included 9.0 Wonderful 43 reviews CA $324 CA $389 total includes taxes & fees Dec 7 - Dec 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=24947062&PinnedHotelID=24947062&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36200000/36195300/36195277/067c0b72.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW LISTING!!
