Only a mile from the popular village of Drumnadrochit, a holiday in Heron’s Rest Cottage can be as relaxing or action packed as you wish.

Amongst the many activities available locally are boats trips, water sports and sea fishing along the Moray coastline or on Loch Ness, good monster spotting area! The area is a paradise for the outdoor enthusiast, with mountain biking, walking along the many forest trails, kayaking on the rivers and lochs, and photography, with a huge abundance of bird and wildlife on the doorstep.
