A lovely comfortable cottage with a view of Loch Ness and the hills on the other side of the Loch, it was fascinating sitting in the living room watching the changing light and clouds. Located within a few metres of the Great Glen Way so a perfect spot to explore the Way in two directions. Next door the 'Woolery' for knitting yarns and a short walk to a pottery and tearoom.
