In Inverness-shire, Glen Cottage is a charmingly redesigned, very old Highland Cottage with 3ft thick stone walls, which stands, detached, just 100 yards from the River Cannich (fishing available) on the very edge of the small village of Cannich (pub, hotel, shop) gateway to the stupendously lovely Glen Affric - countryside so reminiscent of The Canadian Rockies that it was the background for the filming of 'The Last of the Mohicans' many years ago.

12 miles west of Drumnadrochit (Monster Museum) on Loch Ness, and 17 miles south-west of Beauly, it is in a marvellous position for walking or driving in five truly romantic 'Highland' Glens where rushing streams watering the remains of the old Caledonian pine/birch woods are overlooked by a string of Munros; and/or venturing further afield, for day-visits exploring the north-west coast around Ullapool and Lochinver.

Well-equipped, cosy and comfortable - with some exposed original stone walls, wood panelling and a roaring multi-fuel stove - this is a cottage of character in which to relax and reminisce after a wonderful day in the clear open air.

Heating is by multi-fuel stove (some fuel INCLUDED) and electric night-store heaters (£10 INCLUDED). Bed-linen and towels are INCLUDED. Pets are welcome.  Sorry no smoking.

We came for the peace and quiet over the festive season and got it. The wintry conditions made the location even more perfect and the logburner was used each day. The week has flown by and we don't want to leave. The holiday was everything we hoped for and more. Thank you.

We had an excellent weekend in this cosy cottage. The wine and chocolates were a lovely surprise. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend the Slaters Arms for those that have a dog.

Had a very enjoyable stay in the fully stocked and well presented Glen Cottage. Perfect location for the Highlands adventure. The fire and stable door are good features and the rooms were more than comfortable. The road trip to Skye and the castles made my break complete.

Thank you for the warm welcome. Garden flowers above the oven, wine and chocolate on the table - these little things make it very cosy. We came from Hamburg, a big, loud and stressful city to find nature, silence, freedom and calm. That we did here in this place of deep serenity.

Had a lovely stay at Glen Cottage. We absolutely loved the woodburner, the beautiful cottage garden and the view from the lounge window. The cottage had everything we needed and was lovely to come home to after our wildlife trips each day. We managed to catch a glimpse of a Golden Eagle at Glen Cannich and other birds of prey are numerous in the glens. Plodda falls are amazing. Chanonry Point lived up to expectations and gave us views of dolphins close to the shore. Finally we saw the local red deer when we drove home each evening. Wow! Thank you.
