Cottage holiday rentals in Loch Ness

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars! Excellent home in a really peaceful beautiful location. It was easy to find and no issues entering the property. Stunning old house which clearly has a lot of history. The home was well presented and we found it comfortable. All the instructions were clear. The hot tub was excellent and the kids loved it. So peaceful at night. Only a 10 min drive into Alyth where there is a couple of shops, but many many lovely walks about ideal for dogs. The wifi was a bit hit and miss we struggled watching tv as it kept freezing with no signal. However given the rural location this is excepted and didn’t bother us too much. AGA cooker was great a real experience and I’m sure in the winter it’s beautiful and warm. Overall we would recommend the property, my only room for improvement would be looking into the WiFi and potentially adding a better dining table and chairs outside. It would have been lovely to dine outside on some more comfort chairs and better seating. Still 5 stars!

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

This was a great find. Katrina is one of the most responsive and informative hosts I have had on Airbnb. Being from out of the country we had several questions and she answered so quickly. There were some hiking trails near by which was a nice surprise, and Katrina recommended Gloagburn which was a hidden gem! Would recommend this to anyone looking to be off the beaten path but still have plenty to do!

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

This place saved our holiday! We were camping in the Cairngorms and ended up with a catastrophic failure of our tent on the second night. Booked this beautiful cottage at 3:30am and checked in just over 12 hours later! Communication from Laura was fab, and she was always on hand with any queries we had. Delightful little cottage, and the bonus of a hot-tub and sauna made for a very different holiday than we had planned in a soggy tent. Would highly recommend, and would certainly look to go back if we stay in this part of Scotland again

Sweetheart cottage was a beautiful place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the area. The love shack was a great way to spend a few hours relaxing. It is simply a great place to relax and enjoy the company of your other half. Thank you for creating a lovely space.

Great host and loved the location and accommodation. Garden was great for the dogs and chilling with a beer and beautiful beach 5 minutes across the road. Locals and neighbours were very friendly Travelled to John ‘Groats, The Black Isle and Nairn during our stay. Highly recommend as either a base for touring or just a peaceful break in beautiful unspoilt surroundings.

We stayed for 4 nights and highly recommend. The cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable and is kitted out with everything you’d need. It’s well placed for trips to Aviemore and Kingussie, we visited Loch Morlich and Loch Ness to name a few. Really brilliant decor throughout and the hosts have paid a lot of attention to detail. The bed is really comfy too. We were lucky enough to see a woodpecker among other birds at the feeder outside the window, as well as a red squirrel which we loved! We also had our dog with us and he enjoyed walking and sniffing nearby the cottage. Unfortunately we had quite a bit of rain during our stay but even that didn’t seem so bad because the sound of the rain on the roof somehow made us feel even more cosy. Absolutely can’t fault this beautiful cottage and would definitely recommend to anyone considering.

The cottage is beautiful and comfortable to stay in. We didn't get a chance to light the log burner but it would be lovely on a cool night, and we were supplied with plenty of logs. The area is stunning and there is plenty to do locally. Andrew was always happy to chat and even brought over some toys for our baby.

This is our 4th visit to Railway cottage and it won’t be our last. It’s well placed for driving in to Aviemore, Newtonmore, Kincraig and Kingussie and there are walks you can do from the door. It’s a cosy and welcoming place to stay and very comfortable. There are lots of activities on the nearby estates including quad biking, horse riding, zip wires, canyoning, clay pigeon shooting and archery. Lots of good places to eat too.

The Schoolhouse Cottage in Onich was a wonderful place to stay during our visit to the Highlands. Chris & Sarah were excellent hosts and the cottage itself was lovely and nicely equipped. They have taken great care with their welcome guides- extremely thorough! The cottage is in a beautiful area and the views are just stunning- we wish we could wake up to that view every day. We'd recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore Glencoe or the Highlands in general- it's in a great location to be a basecamp for exploring surrounding areas.

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at Ardormie farm cottage. The views are amazing and the cottage itself is lovely. Everything was perfect and comfortable. we really enjoyed being surrounded by sheep and on occasion wild red dear and birds of prey. the bed was very comfortable and the whole house was quiet and peacefull. would happily recommend Ardormie and would gladly stay here again.

Beautiful little cottage has everything you need to feel right at home. It has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. The bedroom is relaxing and bed is very comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. Chris and janet have put lots of local information in the cottage to help make the most of your stay. Only draw back is there is no shop in fortingall, so your nearest shop is in Aberfeldy 7miles away ( not a big deal for us as we were out most of the day). We would highly recommend a visit to the owl house. Many thanks for hosting us. We might see you again when we come back to climb meall nan tarmachan at some point x

A lovely stay at Blaeberry Cottage. It had everything I needed for a 3 night stay, very well equipped and very clean. A lovely garden for the dog to roam around. Would definitely recommend!

Had a very quiet and relaxing stay! The cottage was super lovely and would highly recommend it to anyone! Would definitely stay there again! Kelly was a great host!

We absolutely loved our stay at Wee Ness Cottage! The flat was surprisingly spacious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Its location was ideal—tucked away in a peaceful courtyard that offered a quiet retreat, yet just steps away from a grocery store in one direction and the river in the other. A short stroll across the nearby bridge brought us to a lively area filled with fantastic restaurants, charming shops, and plenty to explore. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base. Highly recommend this lovely apartment!

Megan and Sean’s place is beautiful—thoughtfully designed, well equipped, and tastefully decorated. It was perfect for our family of five (two adults and three children). Megan went above and beyond, even baking a cake and bringing fresh flowers from her garden to welcome us. The house is full of charming details and has been expertly renovated, blending the character of the old building with modern comforts. We especially appreciated the thoughtful extras for families—there were toys and board games that kept the kids happily entertained. There was also a wealth of local resources—books, maps, and guides—to help us explore the region. Firewood was provided for the fireplace, and the BBQ was ready to go with a full gas tank. It’s a wonderful place to relax—we’ll definitely be back.

Fairygreen Cottage was the last stop on our holiday trip and it couldn't have been better! From the first step into the house until the very last minute, we absolutely enjoyed our stay there. The cottage is lovingly furnished, equipped with everything one needs and shows a high standard in quality. We felt very welcomed and comfortable and wish to come back!

This is a great cottage in an excellent location. Grantown is well situated for day trips or finding and enjoying places off the beaten track. Fiona's cottage is clean, spacious and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

This cottage is one of a kind. What a beautiful and authentic Scottish home and surroundings. Yvonne was very responsive when we needed her. Incredible stay!

What a fantastic space. Beautiful cottage and gardens and stunning surroundings. Great friendly and helpful hosts. A good spot with lots of things to do and see. We had a wonderful week at Arrivain and would definitely go back.
