Highland Council Holiday Homes with Staff

Member of the Clergy

• 12 guests

• 6 bedrooms

Inverness West, Inverness

If you want to try and spot the ever-elusive Loch Ness Monster, this old stone clergy house that has sat on the banks of the famed body of water for over a century-and-a-half lets you do so in the utmost comfort. Inside, the rooms are filled with varnished wood furnishings, boldly printed rugs and roaring fireplaces — so you can look out the windows at the loch without feeling cold in the slightest.

Scots Pine

• 16 guests

• 8 bedrooms

Lochduich, Highland Council

This eighteenth-century former hunting lodge sits within the 14,500-acre Glenshiel Estate filled with the most quintessentially Scottish countryside — mountains, rivers, forests, the lot. The host will help you make the most of this wonderful landscape by helping to arrange activities, such as fishing, foraging, pony treks and hikes, or cookery classes and yoga if you prefer to stay inside.

Northern Charm Cottage

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Tannach and District, Highland Council

This charming home can be found just off the start of the North Coast 500 route. It’s just a five-minute drive from the centre of Wick and within thirty minutes of the Castle of Mey, John O’Groats, and Duncansby Stacks – you won’t be short of things to see and do during your stay.
