Note: We ask that you arrive from 4pm and depart around 10am to allow us time to clean the cottage.
Situated in the hills above Loch Ness, the Stables Cottage is very peaceful and private whilst offering you the amenities of the village of Drumnadrochit which is a 3 mile drive of a lovely 15 minute walk down a back-track. The village has a variety of excellent restaurants, bars, supermarkets and gift shops - there is also a 4 star hairdressing salon, a chemist, local medical practice, garages and churches.
There is simply loads of things to do - cruise down Loch Ness on the Jacobite, visit our beautiful Urquhart Castle, find out the truth behind our wonderful 'Nessie' at the 5 star Monster Exhibtion; Also horse riding, extreme outdoor pursuits, fishing, mountain bike tracks and golf.
The Stables Cottage proves to be an excellent central base from which to tour the Highlands with fabulous day trips easily manageable to the Isle of Skye, taking in Eilean Donan Castle; or down to the Cairgorm National Park or north to Brora visiting Dunrobin Castle, Anta Pottery and Glen Ord and Glenmorangie whisky distilleries to experience...and taste!
A 25 mile drive with a picnic to Glen Affric is simply unmissable - location to the original film 'Last of the Mohicans' - it is truly one of the most beautiful places you'll ever see.
Wildlife - from the cottage window, you will very likely see roe deer grazing early morning, pheasants, rabbits and a huge variety of birds of prey. You will often see Highland Cows, sheep and cattle on your journeys around the area.
