For a paw-friendly holiday to the Highlands, look no further than this characterful holiday home, nestled in the heart of a private woodland offering a tranquil retreat with plenty of tail-wagging adventures. Inside, the wood-clad ceiling and warming wood burner ensure cosy evenings can be spent with your loved ones relaxing by the fireside after a day of exploring. Climb to the heights of Ben Nevis (4 miles) with your active four-legged friends in tow to experience the mighty views from the summit and make memories to last a lifetime.

Filled with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows and warmed by the hue of the wooden features, the open-plan living space is a wonderful place to gather together with friends and family. The kitchen is spacious ensuring you have everything you need to cook up a storm, including a breakfast bar with stools for little hands who want to help out. When dinner is ready, the dining table seats eight with beautiful views out of the windows to set the scene. Three bedrooms are located on the ground floor, a double and two twins which can be made up as king-size beds upon request, with traditional styling and comfortable beds for a good night’s rest. Via the spectacular spiral staircase, you’ll have access to the mezzanine floor which offers a great place for peace and quiet to watch a film on the TV. An additional spacious king-size bedroom is also located on the first floor with a vaulted ceiling and a lovely large window. Outside, there is plenty of space for pups to run and play, with a large patio area for dining alfresco and 10 acres of whimsical woodland to sniff out each morning.

For those in search of a tranquil spot for a picnic, head to Loch Arkaig (20 miles), a remote highland loch surrounded by ancient trees which attracts an array of birdlife, including ospreys in the spring. Further afield, venture to the Cairngorms National Park (30 miles) and you’ll find diverse terrains, flora and fauna alongside a whole host of fascinating wildlife.

For a group of 8 this house is very spacious, well equipped, warm and comfortable. Our family all enjoyed being there after a day out on the hills. The location is ideal for access to all that the mountains and surrounding countryside offers. Fort William is just a few miles down the road for provisions, shopping and entertainment on wet days.

This lodge is set in a beautiful quiet setting. Great if you want to be in this Fort William area. Unfortunately we felt the lodge needed updating in several areas. .

Excellent location for a quiet holiday , great walking and scenery. There really isnt any shops or bars within walking distance, unless you want to walk into Fort William, which is about 80 minutes walk. The lodge is a little tired and needs a few things looking at. Blinds, window handles, paintwork etc . Few damp patches.

Large spacious lodge, with plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably and amazing views of Ben Nevis! Very quiet and peaceful, just a shame there wasnt any paths so you could walk through the 10 acres of woodlands and see the Highland cows

Nevis lodge is a wonderful , spacious wooden property ideal for a family get together like we had (5 adults, 3 kids, 2 dogs). The location is fantastic with lovely views of the forest regeneration on the farm and Ben Nevis beyond through the massive glass windows in the lounge / kitchen space. As Bethany states in her review in October 23 the propeRead morerty could do with a bit of maintenance and updating which would make the experience even better. Loads of walks and adventure activity options nearby. Hide
