  • "We had a wonderfully relaxing two weeks here."

    The cottage is set in stunning surroundings and even though there are camping pods on site it was still very peaceful. It was lovely hearing the sheep and lambs in the field and watching the deer. The cottage is cosy with wonderful views from the kitchen. The owners are friendly and helpful. As has been said previously, the double bed mattress is very firm but it wouldn't put us off coming back again as the setting was idyllic.

    Roads were quite being out of season, and it was great to be in a dark sky area. Good value for money

  • "Gorgeous, cosy cottage in a stunning location."

    Very dog friendly and there were walks to do from the doorstep. It felt really remote, but wasn't far to travel for visiting Loch Ness. Lots of deer and bats to spot in the evening too, and when the clouds cleared, there was an amazing view of the milky way. The owners are right nearby and are there if you need them, friendly while never intrusive. Overall, a fantastic and very relaxing stay.

    The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need. The view from the kitchen window is superb. Groceries at The Coop in Drumnadrochit. We visited Inverness and the Loch Ness centre. Beautiful walks in Glen Affric. We loved making a fire at night and read a book or watch a dvd. The owners are very helpful. Highly recommended!

    We very much enjoyed the whiskey and fresh eggs kindly left for us on arrival! Spent much of the week hiking in the nearby hills and mountains, accessible from the property and surrounding area.

  • "We had a very relaxing break at The Old Mill."

    The location is ideal for exploring the wonderful scenery in that part of Scotland. The view out of the window from the kitchen table will live long in our memories and the family were very friendly. We lit the fire in the living room on a couple of evenings but the kitchen was always warm. The bedrooms were small, but this was not a problem.

If you want peace, tranquillity and getting away from the mobile phone, this is the place to go, this is the a cottage to visit. You will find yourselves sitting at the kitchen table watching nature pass by.

    Really friendly people, lovely location with plenty of dogs walking scope for our too large dogs. You have to be sensible when walking dogs where live stock is concerned but that was not issue at all. The offer of on site produced lamb was great and very tasty as where the eggs. Be prepared for a firm mattress on the double bed.

Your home away from home

Cannich 3 miles.

Tucked away down a private driveway in a peaceful location, where you will find wildlife and livestock in abundance, next door to the owners property is The Old Mill.

This stone-built cottage is situated near the friendly village of Cannich, with access to the stunning Glen Affric National Nature Reserve in a lovely part of the Scottish Highlands.

It is ideal for a couple looking to escape the hustle and bustle of a city, or for a small family seeking some peace and quiet in the countryside.

The ruins of an old farmhouse positioned next door only add to the appeal of this renovated mill, with plenty of character oozing from the interior.

You are surrounded by sweeping hills and farmland, a beautiful setting for a holiday.

Step through the gated entrance to the front door and enter straight into the living/dining room, which boasts a vaulted ceiling and many original characteristics, bringing the space to life.

You can relax on the sofa on return from a long walk and warm your feet by the fire.

The TV has access to programmes via the internet or you can simply take in the views and enjoy the company of your loved ones.

Next door, the kitchen is well-equipped with modern units and a breakfast table, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee with the views and sounds of wildlife waking up outside.

The ground floor also plays host to a contemporary bathroom with walk in shower.

Climb the carpeted staircase to the bedrooms and rest your head for the evening.

The village of Cannich is easily reached by car, with a shop, pub, post office and restaurant.

You have a wealth of walking, cycling and fishing in the area, with the Glen Affric being a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.

The thriving city of Inverness is also worth a visit, with its castle, art gallery, Victorian market and leisure centre all straddling the River Ness, which flows into the renowned Loch Ness!

Brave a trip to see the home of the Loch Ness Monster, or so folklore would have you believe.

This charming cottage makes the perfect getaway to Scotland.
