An entire 3 bedroom house with excellent view. Excellent laundry facilities. All rooms are nice size. Kitchen very modern and well equipment. Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful stay. The cottage was perfect. Cozy & so comfortable. The views were amazing. Overall, we had a great stay. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely stay here!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Croft House. It was quiet, loved the fires and the kitchen was well equipped. The bedrooms were very spacious and the location was only a 10-15 min drive to Inverness. Perfect for what we wanted. A lovely little house.
Relaxing stay with exceptional views of Loch Ness. Comfortable beds and the fireplaces were a treat. Home from home. Drive way is steep and on an unmade road so may not be suitable for low profile cars. Attentive host and good facilities.
We stayed for 2 days and enjoyed the view! Thank you for the laundry services! beds were comfortable and the place was so clean. The driveway was a monster but to be expected for those views!
Absolutely LOVELY stay with our family. The location is perfection as it’s quiet and calm - but close enough to pop into Inverness for a meal. Cabin was cozy and perfectly appointed. Barry - and the pups - were so welcoming, some of the kindest hosts we’ve ever had.
Coffee in the mornings overlooking Loch Ness was an absolute dream. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous little spot with us!!
Property is great, full of charm, fully stocked with anything you might need. Be warned however, the driveway is long, unpaved, and very bumpy. I would not drive it again unless it was in a 4WD vehicle.
Only stayed 2 nights but wish we had stayed longer. Looking out over the loch is very nice. Decent location for temporary home base. Comfortable accommodations and it’s really nice to have the host next door. Really great rental experience.
The layout is fantastic, the kitchen well stocked and the beds were the best on our trip. Barry welcomed us upon our arrival and was fantastic at communicating prior. My son loved being able to look out over Loch Ness and watch for Nessie. I just wish we'd had a chance to meet the dogs! Was in a great location, nice and quiet, yet close enough to Inverness. We hope to return again.
Two couples. Outstanding layout for four. Well stocked with basic needs (coffee, tea, etc). Home was very cozy and clean. Great location to access Inverness, Ft William, and surrounding area without being in the hubbub of the cities.
We stayed in several accommodations over our two weeks in scotland and this was our favorite. The host was very friendly and accomodating our larger vehicle. Beautifully restored home with modern conveniences and a splendid view of the loch and canal entrance.
We absolutely loved the cottage. We especially enjoyed sitting outside, having dinner and looking at Loch Ness. It was perfect for our family. Barry was very friendly and made sure if we needed anything to ask. We definitely would stay here again.
We were all very happy with our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. The views were incredible. The location was excellent. Host was pleasant and helpful. Thank you so much!
What a beautiful cottage!!! The views are amazing & the cottage was exactly what it was portrayed to be (so cozy & relaxing). A short trip to Inverness & Culloden Battlefield. Would definitely stay here again!!
We had a lovely break here, the view was great and the fires made it very cosy. The kids loved having their own bedrooms upstairs. Barry was very helpful and communication was great.
Yes a beautiful view and a cozy cottage that has everything you need . Add an incredible host and you have a wonderful stay . We found Dore beach from a picture there in the bedroom and it’s an incredible view looking down Loch Ness.
This was a darling cottage to stay in! The location is fantastic. Everything was very clean and the place is well equipped. The views over Loch Ness are impressive - my son is convinced he spotted Nessie. Only downside is that we didn’t stay longer!

What makes this property unique
The view, the cosy open fires, wildlife on the doorstep, deer that visit. A rural setting yet close enough to the city of Inverness.
