Riverside Cottage Reviews

Sharon
Ideal Christmas getaway close to Loch Ness. The cottage was perfect for us and our dog with a secure garden. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and food. The cottage was clean and tidy, with plenty of towels. The underfloor heating kept the rooms warm and the added benefit of the log burner for the colder nights. The hot tub was a good sizeRead more. The pub and a well stocked coop supermarket nearby. Lots of walks in all different directions straight from the front door, maps provided. Hide

What a wonderful very well equipped cottage/bungalow, so comfortable and cosy in a great location. Although in a small cul de sac in a small village, the property was secluded with an enclosed garden so our dog could get out safely. Hot tub and shaded sitting area also very welcome in early season to sit out. Various and accessible wooded walks all nearby with a hotel pub restaurant also just 5 mins walk with an excellent reasonably priced varied menu and cafe tearoom options all nearby too.
