The first-floor holds the living area of the house, and you will be delighted to find an amply fitted kitchen/diner with wonderful burgundy furnishings creating an eye-catching feature within the spacious kitchen area, as well as a glass dining table with seating for six, and you will love the social aspects of cooking here, with room for all of the family to try out some local recipes. Relaxation comes with the wonderful sitting room, warming you with a woodburning stove as you recline on the sofa, taking in the contemporary finish of the space with a grey feature wall, double doors opening on to the upstairs hall, and of course, the beautiful balcony with French windows, the perfect spot for a hot chocolate in the evening as you and your family point out constellations in the clear skies. Outside, a wonderful lawn space provides leisure for your pet, whilst you can enjoy a breakfast outside, with views of the hills and farmland surrounding the house. The local area has ample shops and restaurants, allowing you to stock up essentials in Drumnadrochit as well as trying out local produce in the cafes and bars, or enjoy one of your favourite drinks in the sun. The local area is simply teeming with different activities to try out, hikes along the great Glen Way, Munros to climb and mountain bike trails, as well as a visit to the stunning Urquhart Castle. Close to the property is Loch Ness, possibly the most famous of the Scottish Lochs, where you will find a variety of cruises.
