About this property
Spend mornings watching red squirrels dart through the trees and nights cuddled up in blankets waiting for the elusive northern lights to set the sky alight from this secluded home from home.
Taking pride of place overlooking the mystical Loch Ness in Inverness, family holidays and getaways with friends can be given a whole new sense of adventure from this Scottish idyll. A family home at its core, you can spend as much time as you please snuggled up between its cosy walls with a book and a brew, sitting out on the deck in the long summer sun or heading out to explore the bounteous surrounds. One of the best places in the world to stretch your hiking legs, practise your photography and simply revel in nature, this wild and wonderful location has something to offer everyone, young in years or young at heart. With self catering accommodation across one floor, this single storey cottage is as magical in winter as it is in summer. With an open plan design, divided by a small partition housing a crackling wood burner, the lounge/kitchen/diner is an idyllic place to while away the hours when the weather momentarily turns for the worse. While avid foodies won't be able to resist honing their skills in the well equipped kitchen, the breakfast island in the middle of the room provides a social hub to gather with a glass of wine and snacks while dinner cooks in the oven. When the timer pings, lay the dining table and share plates and anecdotes, before swapping the dining chairs for the lounge's sofas. A relaxing space with traditional touches and lots of modern comforts, the lounge beckons for quiet hours catching up on your latest holiday read or tuning in for a movie night together. Later on, three bedrooms in the form of one double and two twins wait for a blissfully uninterrupted night's sleep. Two bedrooms boast en suite shower rooms, and there is also an extra family shower room. While in winter, the doors and windows can be kept tightly closed to ward off the chilly breeze, in the long days of summer, the outside balcony decking, complete with outdoor furniture, begs for al fresco feasts and dramatic sundowners; the addition of another picnic bench to the side of the property offers more space to spread out. Featuring an enclosed garden and surrounded by wilderness, you can waste no time in branching off into the great outdoors and filling your lungs with clean, fresh air.
