"This home in the heart of Highlands is the perfect rustic retreat for you and your family or a group of active buddies. Set in a gorgeous enclosed garden amid the rugged landscape around Loch Ness, it will inspire even the grumpiest of adventurers.

The lodge is a delightful hideaway in rural Scotland. Arrive to find a lovely enclosed garden where you can sit and watch your pups let off steam in view of the hills and the River Cannich. Enter to find your open-plan living space, with a well-equipped kitchen including a washing machine, a sweet dining space perfectly set for four, and a sociable living space with a TV where you can relax after a day’s wandering. Head through to the bedrooms on the same level. A king-size room and a bunk bedroom are both decorated in a calming, country style and a handy shower room sits next door so you can freshen up and head out into the wilderness again.

The landscape around the lodge is a dog’s dream — ways to roam, trails to hike, and, of course, the area around Loch Ness to explore. Start at the village of Cannich where the lodge is situated, with two rivers winding their way around the charming Scottish houses, in the foothills of the Highlands, you and your pups will find walks to inspire you. When you’re ready for the big adventure, head 15 miles east to the shores of the famous Loch Ness, where the Loch Ness monster is said to slink about the waters.

The cottage was very comfortable with a lovely view. There was plenty of room for my dogs to bound around outside. The bathroom as spacious and the shower was decent. Master bed mattress was a bit more solid than I'm used to, but I still slept well. Owner was very nice and welcoming. The door wouldnt stay open, but that was easily remedied. Local aRead morerea was nice enough, that big bus is an eyesore though, what is it even there for? Somewhere for the local drinkers to sit when it rains? Who knows. Hide

What a lovely lodge very peaceful and great views. On our arrival we were met with Miss Muir who was very helpful running through all the necessary info for the lodge and was also available on the mobile with any issues. This is definitely 1 of the best holidays we have had in the Highlands due to the lodge and area for walking and sightseeing.
