Review for stay from 10 June 2025 to 12 June 2025
It was an awesome experience! The grounds were so amazing and being right on Locke Ness made it all the more memorable. It was someplace we would definitely recommend and would want to come back to to spend more time in the area, if only to relax down by the water.
The bothy was super cute and cozy. It has everything you need to enjoy a a wonderful get away. The grounds of the estate are beautiful and being right on Loch Ness was spectacular. We enjoyed that Invermoriston hiking on the Great Glen Way was so close. We would definitely go back!!
