About this property

Remote and Rural Traditional Croft house overlooking Loch Ness

Traditional Croft overlooking Loch Ness
Lairgmore Croft was built in 1880 and is sitting in one of the finest location on the hillside overlooking Loch Ness and offers panoramic views to the Loch and across the water to Aldourie Castle. Loch Ness itself is iconic and the surrounding area combines the rough beauty and timeless enchantment of the Scottish Highlands. The Croft provides two feature fireplaces which gives the cottage a cosy and homely feeling especially on rainy days.
The Croft is offering modern open plan fully equipped kitchen/diner with an inset wood burning stove. Across the hall is a cosy living room with corner sofa, TV/DVD and original open fireplace. Downstairs is also a double bedroom with double wardrobe and French doors leading to the rear garden. Next to the downstairs bedroom is a modern family bathroom suite with walk in shower and corner water jet bath. The staircase from the hallway leads up to one double and one single bedroom with front facing windows for a superb view.
Washing machine and tumble dryer a located in a separate laundry outbuilding on the side of the Croft House which is shared by host.The Croft has its own access, and terrace leads to a laid to lawn garden with those views towards Loch Ness. At side is a bench and table.In front of the house is a separate parking space for 2/3 cars. Electric charging point Type 2 -7kW AC is available on the hosts side of the property.
We live right next door with our dogs in the modern extension to the original Croft house and will be available to assist with anything during the stay. We have our own separate entrance and parking area so each part of the house has its privacy.

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.

Highland Retreat
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.

Can I give six stars?
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!!

Lovely but tough drive
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.

Great host, lovely property
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.

Amazing views!
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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Barry

Host profile image
Hard working father to 2 teenagers and 2 dogs Rosie and Toby. Volunteer with the local RNLI which has a rescue boat on the Loch.

Why they chose this property

I think the view from this old croft house is outstanding, overlooking a unique stretch of water. The home has been described as outstanding, picturesque, quaint amongst other descriptions.

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.
