Luxury Highland Garden Gem with Hot tub by Loch Ness
Set in the heart of historic Dochfour Gardens this 3 bedroom former gardener’s cottage has been reimagined to provide a luxury holiday haven with gorgeous views directly onto the loch and gardens.
Entering through the arboretum you will then be directed to the cottage with its own enclosed space. Guests not only have their own private garden but also access to the arboretum. A world with in a world surrounded by wonderful views and wildlife, yet only 10 minutes from the amenities of Inverness.
The cottage has its own secluded garden with hot tub. A soft seating and outside dining area is complemented by a fire pit /BBQ providing an idyllic oasis where you can relax outside after a day exploring the many local attractions.
As the house and garden is set in the middle of a much larger private garden you will have full access to your own private fenced area and also access to the arboretum but we kindly ask that you do not venture into the owners private gardens and stay within the boundaries indicated. Because of its sensitive location we can also not accept any pets and would say it is not ideally suited to small children (other than by special request).
