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.

About Inverness
With Loch Ness right next door, empty Glens dotting the countryside and the Speyside whisky region just down the road, folk tend to use Inverness as a base for exploring the untamed Scottish Highlands. But lingering a while in this small city has its rewards. Strolling between the willow trees on the banks of the River Ness and catching a glimpse of Inverness Castle is just one of those rewards....
