Bearnock Lodge

Had a great time and suited our needs as a business retreat.

We had to wash items to use, heating on but house cold until second day.

One basket off logs a bit mean and does not last one night. In general house is good for large group going away for a few nights.

Loved our stay here the house feels bigger and even nicer than the pics portray, highly recommend and would happily return!

Stayed at Bearnock Lodge as a group of 18 friends in October 2025.

What an absolutely STUNNING property. Not only is the lodge itself beautiful and well furnished, but also the grounds and the surrounding area make it an excellent base for a group holiday in the Highlands. Would definitely return and recommend to others

An amazing property.

The rooms were all comfortable, the house was warm and we were welcomed by Catherine who was available if we had any questions. Highly recommended for a special occasion or family gathering. We’d love to visit again.

It is truly a wonderful and one-of-a-kind property.

It is beautiful and historical, but also very comfortable and well-equipped. It offers lots of privacy with large grounds and has plenty of indoor space for 20 guests. The bedrooms are cosy and stylish. There are two fireplaces (need to bring extra wood for more than a day), an outdoor fire pit and a sheltered BBQ area. The two kitchens are well-equipped with enough storage and utensils for a large group. The location is beautiful. The owners are helpful and responsive, and did their best to ensure we had a good stay. Overall, this was a wonderful backdrop for our gathering; we and our guests had a lovely time.

Beautiful house.

A great location for our annual walking trip in the Highlands. A very comfortable house, though the two kitchen layout caused some complications catering for 13 people. The bar billiards was very popular (despite the black mushroom still being missing). A wonderful holiday.

Exceptional large property in beautiful setting.

Interior luxurious and impressive with a real wow factor, whilst being entirely functional for a large group. Note there is a separately let apartment above the garage games room, not immediately clear to us at the time of booking but not an issue over our weekend. The outside areas are not all entirely accessible and the kitchen patio could be better presented / enlarged to allow more ground level outdoor seating. Overall this was an amazing place to experience, and made for a fun and memorable weekend.

Fantastic property.

We're a hiking club and used the house as a base to walk in the Highlands. We all had a tremendous time here. As we're mainly singletons, being able to have so many of the rooms configured as twins was very useful. The only downside was the state of the bar billiards table - it badly needs a new baize and the black mushroom had its stem missing, so we couldn't play a proper game.

Beautiful property, somehow feels bigger than in the photos and our large mixed age group of extended family all had plenty of space.

It was easy to loose someone

Absolutely brilliant stay for 11 of us motorcyclists, as a base for week long days out around Northern Scotland.

Big order of basic supplies from Tesco delivered the moment we arrived, then we shopped locally. Highly recommend Munro the butchers in Beauly, and the bakers next door. Property manager Catherine is super helpful. Cost for all of us was way less than the cheapest B&B - and we saved a fortune on eating out. Super!

We had a wonderful stay at Bearnock Lodge.

The surroundings are so beautiful and it was ideal for a large group - we ate together in the dining room every evening, there is plenty of storage space for food, the bedrooms were comfortable and there was tons of space for everyone in the many lovely reception rooms. The location is superb for exploring the highlands. The children in particular enjoyed the garden space. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

We loved our long weekend stay at Bearnock Lodge with a group of friends.

The house is beautifully furnished and full of charm. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable (and memorable!). Communication with the host, Catherine, before and during our stay was excellent; had a minor issue with the heating system however it was quickly resolved. Would highly recommend.

We had a glorious family reunion at Bearnock Lodge.

The manor home was all and more than we expected- spacious yet friendly, comfortable and complete with everything you would need. We loved the large dining area for a birthday party, the great room for games and the many bedrooms and bathrooms for a good nights sleep. The house is also conveniently located to visit places like the Isle of Skye, Glen Affric and northern Scotland.

An excellent and comfortable house for a our annual three generations family holiday.

The house owner and housekeeper were both helpful in facilitating our stay.

We loved our stay, I think the only wee areas to improve was the oven was quite greasy and there wasn't a shape knife in the kitchen - we like to cook out own meals.

Also the outside table/area by the kitchen wasn't super inviting in comparison to the inside dinning room and feels like a missed opportunity for guests to have breakfast outside,etc. Other than that we loved it!

We had a really great time at Bearnock Lodge.

It was a perfect location and venue for the celebration we were having and all of our guests loved it. Booking arrangements were easy and a couple of last minute issues were resolved very well. Overall, a fantastic stay with so much to do and enjoy in the surrounding area. We’d love to come back and so would many of our friends who joined us during the week.

Beautiful lodge with everything you could possibly want.

The grounds are also beautiful and overall just an amazing place to stay

Fantastic stay !

the house is absolutely stunning inside and out. John was very helpful and it was really nice to meet him and the owners ! Would love to travel up for Christmas or new year but I imagine there will be a long waiting list . highly recommend this and it’s a memory myself and the family will cherish forever.

Brilliant holiday home, ideal for multiple families and great set up for both kids and adults.

There are 10 adults and 7 children in our group and we have been holidaying together in Scotland for 5 years and this was the best house we have stayed in. John was great and very attentive if needed. The heating and water systems are great which lend to a ideal drying room for clothes. The gardens are gorgeous and the kids play area a real plus. The bedrooms mostly had ensuites which was great and those that did not had bathrooms very close. The kitchens were well kitted out with everything we needed and the dining room was lovely. The log cabin was lovely and was a great addition to the holiday. The house has a lot of history which made for some really interesting reading. The fixtures and fittings were all high quality, comfy sofas and beds and well decorated. Things for improvement were that the house was clean but could have been cleaner, it was obvious there had been dogs in the house previous to us and with a few people with allergies - that wasn't ideal. Also the feather bedding was an issue for us as again there were a few people with allergies but we understand many guests will think feather duvets are a plus point. There was dirty underwear under one of the beds in the MacGillvray room (not ours as only two 7 year old boys staying in that room) and lots of wrappers/papers behind the bed in the MacDonald room. The internet wasn't great and we often could not get connected - could use some wifi extenders or a boost to allow more people to join the network at once (we all live rurally so are used to these issues). We also felt the list of duties for tenants to do at the end of the holiday was quite extensive - the most we have been asked to do in the 5 years of renting big houses for holiday. On the whole - an amazing place to stay to explore the local area. Thanks! * Happy for the top part of the review to be published with the second part omitted as it was more to let the owners know of some improvements which could be made.

A very comfortable and spacious property ,excellent as a base for exploring the highlands or just relaxing and enjoying the company of friends and family.

All the cooking equipment you could possibly need two kitchens and a bar make this an extremely sociable space, and the take aways in Drumnadrochit means you don't have to cook if you prefer not to. John the property manager is extremely friendly and helpful and lives very nearby if any assistance is required.

What a superb lodge!

Spacious, spotlessly clean, great help from the property manager and excellent location for hillwalking. Our party included an architect, one with very high standards, who couldn't stop saying how bowled over he was by the quality of the refurbishment. A truly memorable week. Thanks.

Superb John looked after us really well.

Everything was great , thoroughly enjoyed it , lovely atmosphere both in and out the house , thanks again .

We booked Bearnock Lodge in conjunction with the waterfall appartment for a week-long lifestyle medicine retreat.

The two together were the perfect location, combining tranquility with accessibility, with lovely grounds an exceptional standard of decor and maintenance. The choice of reception rooms on the ground floor worked really well for small-group working and the separate log cabin was useful to host speakers on the retreat. The facilities manager lives just next door and was very helpful with any queries. We have already book this venue again for later in the year for a similar event and can't wait to return.

The pictures do not do justice for the size of Bearnock lodge.

The rooms are all a very good size and this place is just stunning. This place does literally give you everything you need and more. We were fond of this place before and now it's a special place for us after being married here my only gripe was we did not have more time because it flew by. If you want quality family time away or even a small wedding this place is genuinely perfect. The property manager John could not be more accommodating and could not thank him enough for all he done. We genuinely can't rate Bearnock any more highly and hope others can experience what we did and we hope to go back one day as it is local to us and the perfect place.

We had a lovely time despite a bug within our family groups.

The children, aged from below 1 to 9 years of age, enjoyed it particularly. The large dining room and table were a hit too. The ‘cabin’ was very useful too. The table tennis in a garage was used a lot. John, the local manager, was especially helpful.

A fabulous house for a large group!

Absolutely everything you need is there and every room is just lovely, and in a wonderful setting! John was extremely accommodating and is available 24/7. Our only (very small) con would be that we had to pay for logs for the fire. We only were given enough for 1 night - we were there for 3….and it was November in north west Scotland! However, it wouldn’t stop us going back again and next time we’d know to take our own logs!

An absolutely wonderful place to stay.

We could not find fault with it at all. It feels like a home from home, though in much grander circumstances. We were sad to leave but are excited to return one day.

We had a very enjoyable week at Bearnock Lodge.

The lodge/cabin/ cottage are all comfortable and very well equipped and the property in a secluded setting making it an ideal place for a family gathering. The property manager (John) was very helpful throughout our stay. If there was one small area for improvement it was the need for slightly more car park space, but this is just me being picky. We hope to return to Bearnock in the not-too-distant future.

We had a fantastic family holiday celebrating several milestone birthdays!

Bearnock Lodge certainly has the wow factor and is perfect for all ages to celebrate together. John was very helpful and on call throughout our stay. The lodge is well-equipped for large groups and we had everything we needed. Thank you for helping us create some special memories!

Property was ideal for our family in beautiful surroundings.

Site caretaker, John, was extremely helpful and friendly. A really good holiday was enjoyed by us all, thank you for all involved.

Brilliant place to stay with all the comfort you require for a large family gathering.

So many places to chill out or have fun. Great kitchen (we called it the hub) and dining room for our meals. Rooms were excellent with good quality linen on the beds. The master bedroom was just exceptional and none of our group had anything else but positive feedback on their accommodation or the facilities. John who met us was great and explained everything that we needed to know and was equally accessible both before and during our stay. If I had one area for improvement it was that there was only one ice tray for the whole property. (Unless I missed where they were kept?) Would I recommend this property… absolutely exceptional place to have a large family event.

We had the most wonderful family gathering celebrating a 45th wedding anniversary and 4 Big Birthdays.

Bearnock Lodge is perfect for a group like ours with a big range of ages. All the rooms are lovely and the beds so comfortable. The location is quiet but has easy access to many walks and sights. We had great weather but even if it had rained it wouldn't have mattered as there is an excellent drying room. The hot water system is fantastic! A week that the family will always remember. Thank you John for all your help and advice. You, your staff and the owners know how to provide a first rate holiday. Thank you.

Property is outstanding, I had kept as a surprise from my guests to see their reactions and they were absolutely blown away by how beautiful the house is.

The owner and caretaker we’re v helpful with suggestions for our trip, and on their advice we brought someone in to cater for us in the grand dining room, this was the highlight of the trip. Lots of space to roam around in with 2 kitchens, exactly what you need for big groups. This was a trip to celebrate a 70th birthday and this is a wow property that will match any special occasion. Can’t rate it highly enough, if you’re thinking about booking just do it, you will not be disappointed!

We loved our stay at Bearnock and want to thank John so much for all he and his team did to make our big family Christmas so special.

Bearnock is a brilliant place and pretty much perfect. The only thing that would have improved it is to have better kitchen equipment that is suitable for catering for 18.

Phenomenal holiday rental.

By far the best we have ever experienced. Everything was to the highest standard. Faultless. We hope to return again soon.

Had the most fabulous stay at Bearnock for a 50th birthday celebration.

The house is impeccably furnished and equipped and beautifully clean. We have absolutely no complaints and can’t wait to find an excuse to go back.

We've stayed in a few properties between us all, but this is the best all round by far!

The photos don't do the place justice, it's so beautiful. We had such a nice stay at Bearnock Lodge, and John the keeper was so friendly and helpful. We're hoping to return at some point and will definitely be recommending the lodge to our other family and friends, it's stunning. What an incredible job the owners have made renovating it, there are so much of the old features, and modern touches throughout which works so well. The facilities are great, and for anyone wondering, the kitchens have all the extras you would find in your own home and more. Everything from booking, to arriving and getting into the property was hassle free. Thanks for making it such a special weekend! We will definitely be returning!

Thank you so much for the stay and for everything John did to help us !

Beautiful period property with modern comfortable facilities where no expense has been spared.

Ideal private and safe location for exploring around LochNess. With 2 kitchens and numerous bathrooms, it was the perfect place for a week away with our large extended family. We were very fortunate with the weather so spent much of our time outdoors but the evenings were still spent around the bar billiards table and big open fire. Highly recommend this stunning property
