Loch Ness
The area around Loch Ness forms part of the Great Glen which crosses Scotland from Inverness to Fort William. It is surrounded by imposing mountains and the long, spectacular expanse of the loch itself, not to mention the added attraction of the legendary 'monster'! With excellent road connections to the area, it is easy to see why this is one of the most popular of Scottish tourist destinations.

Scotland's Most Famous Loch
Loch Ness is 23 miles long and is renowned for claims of sightings of the Loch Ness monster but none of the more recent scientific explorations of the loch have produced clear evidence of its existence. The A82 travels along the western banks and the B852 runs along the eastern shore to Fort Augustus at its southern tip.
Drumnadrochit lies 15 miles south of Inverness on the western banks of Loch Ness and its economy is centred around the Loch Ness monster myth. There are two exhibition centres providing information about the monster - the Loch Ness 2000 Exhibition Centre and the Original Loch Ness Monster Exhibition. Boat trips down the loch to search for 'Nessie' or for fishing, depart from the village. The imposing ruins of Urquhart Castle stand high on a promontory overlooking the loch where many people have claimed to have sighted the monster.
The village of Cannich lies 12 miles west of Drumnadrochit on the A831 and is the main access to one of Scotland's most beautiful glens, Glen Affric and its surrounding mountains and lochs. Glen Affric National Nature Reserve is home to a wide range of flora and fauna, including wildcat, otter, red squirrel and eagles. There are many varied walks throughout the glen and several Munro mountains (over 1,000 metres) can be accessed from this valley. Invermoriston is a pretty village lying 13 miles south of Drumnadrochit where there are woodland walks to some stunning waterfalls.
On the easter shore the single-track B852, which runs down the eastern shore of Loch Ness, is a peaceful alternative to the busy A82 on the west banks of the loch and passes through Foyers where there are many woodland walks and a majestic waterfall.

Their service is first class, friendly and efficient. I could speak to someone. The cottage is spotless, well appointed and attractive. A follow up phone call by them checks that all has gone well. | |

No complaints, very good. The cottage had everything we could possibly need. It was clean and tidy. Even had lovely views from the verandah. Lovely and quiet. Would we come back again, definitely. | |

Generally was a nice cottage, location and booking but soured by post stay communication. We were charged for a missing bowl which we didn't know anything about and extra cleaning for forgetting a bag of nappies which we should have taken but couldn't have taken longer than 2 mins to take out especially as we'd done an extra big clean up due to having a baby before we left. Low cap on energy seems tight. Unique Cottages helped with communication but seemed blameful which soured the whole experience | |

We loved the Chalet it was a wee home from home. Comfortable bed and great shower. So peaceful and close to the beach and lots of great walks for our dog who loved that huge beach. Highly recommended and very relaxing we will be back. | |

There are a good range of properties to choose from and they are usually of high quality. Booking was easy and efficient. I was more aware of the booking fee on this occasion however- £45 for a week seemed high. | |

They were quick to respond to my booking and explained clearly when the balance would need to be paid by. |
