Tucked away in the wild, untouched landscape of the Scottish Highlands, this home promises tranquillity with breathtaking scenery to boot. Here, you're a twenty-minute drive from Drumnadrochit, a village perched on the western shore of Loch Ness, and a fifty-minute drive from Inverness. 

Inside, spacious rooms flaunt floor-to-ceiling timber cladding and sumptuous textiles, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere as soon as you step through the door. We especially love the open-plan living space, with its plush seating, dining table and fully-equipped kitchen. Here, a wood-burning fireplace takes centre stage. Set against a striking column of exposed brick, it's the heart of the home, providing warmth even on the chilliest nights.

Watersports enthusiasts will love this home's private access to the River Glass, a short walk from your doorstep. Whether you love paddle boarding, kayaking or fishing, just bring along your kit, and you're good to go. If you'd rather keep your feet firmly on the ground, lace up your walking boots for a hike through the highlands. After busy days exploring, enjoy a relaxing dip in the outdoor hot tub under the stars.

Wake & Wander

This former railway lodge with a wood-burning stove and cottage garden couldn't be more charming if it tried. A home of this age does come with its compromises. The living room and twin bedroom are both on the snug side, and the only bathroom is a little dated. It's also worth noting that the Strathspey Steam Railway runs daily just fifteen metres from your door – you'll hear it before you see it. But we think this only adds to the experience of staying here. Location-wise, there's a café and food store within walking distance, and all the highland must-sees, including Aviemore, Loch Morlich, and the Cairngorms National Park, are all just a short drive away.

The Railway Cabin

Surrounded by stunning scenery, this lodge makes a wonderful retreat at any time of year. Situated within the Cairngorms National Park, you’ll have plenty of activities on your doorstep. The home itself has an open-plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and sitting area with a wood-burning stove. This is also where two guests will be sleeping at full capacity. Two of the bedrooms have balconies and there's also a decked area and a lawn space for enjoying the fresh air.

The Highland Retreat

Nestled in the Scottish Highlands, this converted barn offers a peaceful country retreat just a short drive from Loch Ness. Surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees, you'll wake to the sounds of birdsong and enjoy breakfast on the outdoor table before setting out to catch sight of the famous lake monster. The interiors may not be as memorable as the location, but the wood-burning stove makes for a cosy evening. Downstairs, the main bedroom features garden views, and in the summer, a barbecue is the perfect way to end the day. Your furry friends will love it here too – there's plenty of space in the fenced garden for them to play fetch.

Nessie Retreat

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Highlands at this cottage in Invermoriston. The leafy garden is a haven for wildlife, from badgers and birds to deer and elusive pine martens. On chilly evenings, get cosy in front of the living area's log burner with a glass of Scottish whisky. Expect traditional touches in every room – some may consider the decor a tad dated, but we think it only adds to the charm. Behind the house, private woodlands lead onto the Great Glen Way, while the village is about a kilometre away. That said, we think you'll need a car to make the most of the setting – Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness are both within driving distance.

Pine Marten Paradise

Stepping into this village home is like stepping onto the pages of a romantic novel. A moody medley of forest green and rust-red velvet sofas in the living room whisper of days gone by – the picture completed by a wood-burner set in an old fireplace carved with celtic twists. In the parlour, an upright piano awaits for someone to compose a song inspired by heather-bruised hills and craggy mountain passes. Or, perhaps choose something from the book collection and settle into a wing-backed armchair. Bedrooms are packed with paperbacks to find your next indulgent read, perhaps while soaking in the claw-footed tub of the master bathroom. Contrary to the rest of the home, the kitchen is bright and airy, but an exposed stone wall still suggests the building’s history. A welcome hamper of bubbly, tea, coffee and toiletries awaits your arrival. Spend the evening outside, gathered around the fire pit, or watching for shooting stars from the comfy sofas on the deck. The peaceful village of Carrbridge has a grocery shop and a handful of cosy pubs. You’re in the Cairngorms National Park here, so you may want to lace up those walking boots and bag some munros, or head to Speyside and sample some of the world-famous whisky distilleries. 

A Highland Romance

This enchanting, stone-built manor is the perfect venue for large family holidays, corporate getaways or celebration weekends, accommodating up to thirty-three guests in fifteen en-suite bedrooms. The property boasts a vast function room with a bar that leads onto an elegant patio with outdoor seating and a pretty bandstand suitable for an outdoor wedding. In addition to the commercial-sized kitchen, there are two dining rooms, a grand period lounge, and a separate traditional Scottish bar. The function room can be adapted to suit your own tastes and transformed into a fun and exciting games room. There is also DJ equipment and banquet furniture ready for unforgettable events. The property is located in Perthshire, known for its breathtaking natural scenery, rich history, cultural heritage, and outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, fishing, golfing and skiing. The region is renowned for its cultural heritage, with a thriving arts and crafts scene as well as a vibrant music and literature scene.

All Right Now

Experience historic Scotland at its finest at this castle retreat. This beautiful castle was built in 1560 and has been thoughtfully restored to its former glory by the father-and-daughter owner team. You’ll find antique furniture and historic features throughout the castle, but modern home comforts have been added too. Play board games in front of the fire in the Great Hall before sinking into a four-poster Ralph Lauren bed. Explore the Cairngorms National Park and the nearby golf courses, or drive 1.5 hours to Edinburgh for a day trip. This castle is sure to be a memorable choice.

A Fine Malt

Set in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, this home offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by nature. The cottage is south-facing, with views across the countryside where you can spot buzzards and deer and there’s a large enclosed garden to relax in. Or when it’s chilly there’s an open fire indoors and plenty more vistas over the hills to enjoy. This place has two sitting rooms, too, so it's ideal for families. When you’re ready to explore the area, you’ll be a two-minute walk to Manse Bay on the shore of Loch Insh, while Aviemore is a short drive away.

Deer & Buzzards

Whether you’re in search of a Highland adventure or a relaxing retreat, this contemporary lodge makes it easy to enjoy it all. Surrounded by idyllic countryside, you can enjoy the views from the garden – which also features a children’s play area. Inside, the rooms are perfect for families with plenty of socialising space as well as games, books and a baby grand piano for your entertainment. There’s a ground-floor bedroom for guests with reduced mobility and all of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms. Outside, it’s just a short drive to Loch Ness and the nearest amenities in Drumnadrochit.


Beyond Pines

Modern furnishings offset the gothic architecture and stonework at this bright apartment. Large cathedral-style windows and an open-plan living and dining area make the most of the natural light. At the same time, accents of tartan, wall-mounted antlers and a green velvet sofa make the home feel like a charming Scottish hunting lodge. Guests will have access to all the on-site facilities, including tennis courts, a heated swimming pool, and a spa. Not to mention the shared lounge, where stained glass windows cast filtered light onto red walls and purple velvet furnishings to provide a stunning backdrop to a game of billiards. Hugging the shores of Loch Ness and set on twenty acres of private gardens, you’re ideally located to explore the stunning landscapes of the Highlands.

Whiskey Over Wine

If you’re fond of the finer things in life, this traditionally-styled apartment with views over Loch Ness is a winner. Set in a Grade A-listed, gorgeously Gothic former monastery, there are high ceilings, big windows and oak panels to marvel at. Period pieces mix with modern luxuries — the underfloor heating in the bathrooms is very welcome during the Scottish winter — to create a refined but relaxed home. We have our eye on the cosy tartan armchair, with possibly the best view in the house. We’re sure you’ll find yourself sitting there, watching the light change over the loch. You’ll be staying on a luxury estate with some fabulous facilities available upon request — a swimming pool, sauna, gym, tennis court, archery, croquet and, of course, a giant chessboard. There’s a restaurant on-site, but you’re also just minutes from the centre of the pretty village of Fort Augustus, where you’ll find pubs and restaurants and a local supermarket, as well as a 9-hole golf course and some beautiful walks.
