This property is an ideal base for large families or groups to discover the wonders of Loch Ness and Inverness.
This cream-coloured Scottish cottage is full of surprises. After you’ve crossed the threshold, you’re met with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that’ll have you feeling at home in minutes. The property opens up into the living/dining room; a substantial social space full of homely comforts. Plush furniture, a toasty wood burner, traditional dark wooden cupboards, bright colours and decorative fabrics add to the property’s rustic appeal, yet the room balances this old-world charm with contemporary luxuries down to the last detail. It’s the perfect place in which to eat, relax and get under the skin of fine Scottish country living. There’s also a second living room for when the family quarrels become too much.
The kitchen is beautifully presented, boasting all appliances necessary for cooking up a family-sized feast for dinner. The trend continues upstairs, where crisp and clean bedrooms are left uncluttered (each with its own bathroom), so that nothing takes away from your heavenly night’s sleep beneath silky-smooth Egyptian bedsheets.
Situated within the grounds of the Ness Side Estate, the lodge is in a most evocative setting; pristine 90 acres of natural woodland and meadowland hugs the property on all sides, before running down to the River Ness. You’re free to explore to your heart’s content, but the real benefit to staying here is its accessibility to the attractions nearby. Inverness, the ‘capital of the Highlands’, is just 2 miles away, and Loch Ness is just a short drive away in the opposite direction. With the River Ness running so close, this property is a fisherman’s delight. The river is one of the best Atlantic salmon rivers in the country, so be sure to bring your rods in season!
Sure enough, Holm Lodge is an ideal retreat for family and friends regardless of the time of year.
