This historic six-bedroom property is a fantastic choice for dog-owning families or groups seeking a comfortable base to explore the scenic countryside and coastline of the Scottish Highlands. Enjoy the crackling open fire, period furnishings, games room and expansive gardens at this unique home.

Approach the property via a private driveway, and you’ll be greeted by a grand entrance hall. Inside, the drawing room offers deep, comfortable sofas, an open fire, and a piano for evening singalongs. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with everything a holiday chef could need. Plan your day over breakfast at the kitchen table overlooking the garden, while the formal dining room, adorned with wood panelling and traditional artwork, is perfect for sociable gatherings and special meals. The games room provides entertainment with a snooker table and a well-stocked bookcase. Upstairs, six well-appointed bedrooms await, some with views of Ben Nevis. The master bedroom boasts an en-suite bathroom, as does the light and airy double bedroom. Another spacious double bedroom includes a wash basin. A garden-view single bedroom has access to a nearby bathroom, and in the West Wing, two cosy twin bedrooms share two bathrooms. The extensive gardens are perfect for your pups to roam, and you can enjoy an al fresco picnic or a game of fetch in the wide open spaces.

Nestled within a private estate, your holiday home is perfectly positioned for outdoor adventures with your canine companions. You can access three marked trails from your front door, leading you through picturesque landscapes with plenty of wildlife to entertain curious hounds along the way. Explore the Caledonian Canal (5.5 miles) for a scenic walk to Neptune’s Staircase, keeping an eye out for the Harry Potter Express at Banavie (8 miles). Don’t miss Fort William (8.5 miles), known as the ’Outdoor Capital of the UK,’ where you can begin hikes around Ben Nevis on tail-wagging walks to remember.

Lovely house for family gatherings, plenty of space to be together (and separate). Cosy, everything you need in terms of equipment and a very beautiful, peaceful location within good driving distance for well known sites such as Ben Nevis, Glencoe, Glenfinnan, Loch Ness, Mallaig

The cottage was excellent value for the money; the cottage was fully equipped both for cooking and for doing any washing; bedrooms were comfortable and spacious; would have no reservations in recommending Fassfern House for a Highland getaway.

Fassfern House, is a spacious, well decorated, clean, comfy place. Well situated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a rainy week, so a brilliant place to chill out and come back to, after a wet day - the house has an excellent drying room! We highly recommend a stay here, and will be booking it again, next year.
