The property

Drumnadrochit 1.1 miles.

Perched in the idyllic hamlet of Milton near Drumnadrochit in the Highlands, is this delightful one-bedroom annex, Iola.

Semi-detached to the owner’s home and enjoying close proximity to the world-famous Loch Ness, Iola is dwelling for a couple and their canine companion who are looking to embark on their next adventure to Scotland.

Park-up on the ample driveway, before being greeted by a neat side garden with bench where you can sip your morning coffee.

Rustle up flavourful meals for your loved ones in the well-equipped kitchen ready to enjoy at the dining table or out on the balcony where you can dine overlooking the garden and stream.

After a hearty meal, retire to the sitting room where you can snuggle up with a good book or kick-back and relax in front of your favourite show on the Smart TV.

Pour in the bubbles and enjoy a soothing soak in the bath or freshen up in the shower, before climbing up to the first floor where you will find a spacious king-size bedroom, with desk area and en-suite cloakroom.

Head into the tourist resort of Drumnadrochit, where you will find a good selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes, including The Loch Ness Inn and The Lewiston, as well as well-stocked convenience stores for stocking up on any essentials.

Visit the popular attraction of the Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition, where you can delve into the history of the legendary waters of the Loch Ness and its renowned monster, wander over to the charming Floral Castle, or explore the fascinating 16th-century ruins of Urquhart Castle which overlooks the loch.

Keen walkers will delight at the easy access to the scenic Great Glen Way, a 73-mile trail which runs through the village and leads all the way to Inverness.

Take advantage of your superb location and take to the waters of Loch Ness, whether it’s via the excellent selection of watersports on offer including paddleboarding and kayaking, or on an informative boat tour as you take in the exceptional scenery on offer.

For a taste of city life, head to thriving Inverness, where you will find the remarkable St Andrews Cathedral, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Inverness Botanic Gardens, test out your swing at one of two fantastic golf clubs, or hop aboard a boat to spot the local wildlife of dolphins which frequent the shores.

All this and more awaits with a stay at Iola.
