Heaven

We didn't want to leave. Liz is the absolute best host and has though tof everything. It's in a beautiful, peaceful, area, yet you're close to a market and thinks to do. If you have kids, she has tons of games, there is lot's of room outside to play, and even bug nets for them to catch bugs. We just cannot recommend this lovely cottage highly enough. We can't wait to come back. And look forward to seeing Liz again.

Absolutely fantastic, recommend to anyone wanting to get away from all.

Fantastic cottage, set away from all the hustle and bustle. We were welcomed by Liz, who showed us around and told us of what we're likely to see in the evenings. We felt so chilled out after a week, we didn't want to leave. Even my 2 teenage boys enjoyed themselves. The cottage itself is massive, loads of space and fully equipped to make it a home from home. With Drumnadrochit a 10 minute drive away, there's plenty locally to do, from cruises to walks, take aways, pubs and gift shops. We found it a perfect base of operations with lots to do and no more than a 2 hour drive away. We're definitely going back for another break soon.

Aufenthalt im Holly Cottage

Die Wohnung liegt nur 5 Minuten vom Loch Ness in toller Lage. Zufahrt allerdings sehr schwierig, da Schotterweg mit sehr tiefen Schlaglöchern. Wohnung hätte etwas sauberer sein können. Chipstüte vom Vormieter in der Ecke und Spinnweben in den Ecken sollten nicht sein. Ansonsten aber sehr gemütlich.

Idyllic location and everything you need to hand

We were met by Liz, our warm and welcoming host on arrival, who told us a little bit about the fascinating history of the cottage before showing us around. The location is simply stunning and the cottage had everything we needed including a lovely welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, cake and even a bottle of wine. We were out sightseeing every day but it was such a pleasure to come back to the cottage late afternoon and sit out side in the beautiful garden and enjoy a drink in the sunshine listening to the peaceful sounds of nature. It was wonderful too for our two dogs, who loved the large, enclosed garden to run around in and alerted us to the deer on the hill at the back of the garden - what a beautiful sight that was! The cottage is in a central location for visiting some fantastic places - highly recommend the Dog Falls walk which we did twice, simply stunning and we cannot wait to come back next year. Thank you Liz and Eric
