The Wee Cottage by Loch Ness

Welcome to our quirky detached self-catering cottage, nestled in a peaceful woodland setting adjacent to a dramatic gorge and river - a beautiful viewpoint with picnic table provided for your use at any time. Dogs are more than welcome at no extra charge (fully fenced garden) ... with miles of hill and forest walks available straight from the door, it's their holiday too!!!. Foyers village is found in a rural location in the Highlands, on the quiet southern banks of world famous Loch Ness. The river Foyers tumbles down from the Upper Falls of Foyers and winds it's way through the stunning tree lined gorge to join the loch. We are midway along the South Loch Ness Trail, a relatively new 28 mile waymarked route, which stretches from Loch Tarff (a few miles from Fort Augustus) to the Torbreck woods on the outskirts of Inverness (maps are provided in the cottage or can be found online). Excellent kayaking and cycling area, and swimming in Loch Ness (recently officially voted the cleanest fresh water wild swimming location in the UK!!). The cottage is also the perfect base to go farther afield and explore the diverse and stunning Highlands and Islands, packed with countless Glens, Castles, pristine beaches, waterfalls, lochs and ancient forests. We highly recommend spending an evening stargazing from the garden on clear nights by the firepit. Truly spectacular! Deer, red squirrels, pine martens, badgers, bats, owls, our 'own' herd of pheasants and a variety of small birds are all frequent visitors to the garden - and on occasion a herd of wild goats! Foyers village benefits from having a local Inn, cafes and hotels (catering to non residents), all within walking distance of the cottage. Inverness is approximately 25 miles away for those who wish to explore the Capital City of the Highlands with its huge selection of excellent restaurants, cafes and shops. Ness Bank and Islands walks are not to be missed. The cottage has an open plan design and facilities comprise of: log burner*; fitted kitchen, electric fan oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, combined washing machine/dryer, microwave, toaster, Delonghi Dolce Gusto pod coffee machine, electric food steamer. A good supply of crockery, cutlery, pans and utensils.
