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.

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.

Cozy home and million dollar views!
What a pleasant stay we had at Lairgmore Croft House! We were welcomed by Barry upon our arrival and immediately felt at home in the well-appointed cozy house. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and throughout. The kids enjoyed the home very much, especially the Scooby Doo and the Loch Ness monster and Highlands wildlife DVDs. We spent as much time as possible in the side yard with beautiful views of Loch Ness and the blooming flowers. What a great way to have breakfast and coffee in the mornings! The location is great and the home was just what we needed to relax and unwind by the fireplace after days of exploring the Highlands. Thank you Barry!

Charming, Beautiful Property with Fantastic Host
This would be a 6 star review if that were possible. Barry, the host, was extremely communicative and helpful leading up to our stay. The directions to access the property, which is remote and off the roadway, were very good. The property itself is gorgeous. It was clean, well stocked/supplied, and just as advertised. The instructions for everything were clear and easy to find. Waking up and going to bed with gorgeous views of Loch Ness, sitting by the fire or in the window, or sitting outside on the bench or chairs - there are worse ways to pass the time! I would absolutely stay again and cannot recommend Barry and his beautiful house more.

Mooi verblijf
Het is mooie cottage. De locatie is alleen lastig te vinden. Er is geen mobiel bereik in de buurt van de cottage, waardoor we het precieze huisje moeilijk konden vinden. Ook de onverharde weg omhoog is voor de eerste keer wel een uitdaging. We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad.

The perfect place stay. Wish now we could have stayed longer.
The pictures do not do justice to this place. The house had everything we needed including a warm fire at night. Barry was great. We enjoyed talking with him. The view was spectacular. Our only regret came the day we left. All of us agreeded we should have stayed longer. This was a wonderful place to begin our Scotland holiday.

Amazing 19th Century Croft Cottage
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.

Croft house
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.

Myself, my wife and my kids loved the cottage and didn’t want to leave. Beautiful setting overlooking the loch and a very cosy cottage. The only downside was the weather but we all still made the most of it. The owner Barry was there to greet us on arrival, a very nice chap indeed and we’ll definately plan a future visit :-) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect Place
What a wonderful cottage. Everything from the location, to the views, to the beautifully decorated home, made it the perfect place for that stretch of our vacation. An easy drive down from Inverness and then about 20 minutes drive down to Drumnadrochit and Urquhart Castle. The cottage is bigger than the pictures show, and more updated. Very well appointed and extremely comfortable. We were very happy and would stay again!

A little piece of heaven in the Highlands.
Stayed for two nights so our Aussie friends could watch for Nessie! Lovely, comfortable accommodations with an amazing view. Enjoyed eating outside on the terrace, listening to the birds and watching the weather over the loch. Inside was cosy and well equipped. We felt cared for by the host.

Die gemütlichste Unterkunft die wir in Schottland hatten
Das Haus strahl eine unglaubliche Gemütlichkeit aus. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und unser Urlaub genossen. Bequeme Betten, schönes Badezimmer, eine super ausgestattete Küche, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich. Die Lage war wunderschön, mit einem gigantischen Ausblick. Wir würden diese Unterkunft jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Well equipped quiet property with fab views
This property has a master bedroom with a super-king bed! Perfect for 6’4” spouse to be comfortable. Probably the best equipped property we’ve ever rented! Huge bathroom. The only reason it didn’t get 5 starts for location involves the steps up to the from door—no railing. We are in out late 70’s. Good wifi! The rough road up the hill was worth the drive! georgeous place for happy hour watching the shades of blue and green change as the sun set behind us. Lovely.
