Woodlands Cottage

Woodlands Cottage is a delightful ‘Hansel & Gretel’ cottage tucked away in the middle of bluebell woods just one mile from the village of Invermoriston (shop/hotel) and 10miles south of Drumnadrochit (shop/pub/Monster Museum) on the west side of Loch Ness in Invernessshire. Over 100 years old, standing alone within its 2.5 private acres of natural woodlands which stretch down to the banks of the River Moriston (fishing licences available), it is a cosy, former croft-cottage – mostly pinelined, with a log fire and wood-burning stove – ideal for visitors who like to be on their own in beautiful surroundings (barbecue/garden furniture) yet within easy distance of a pub, hotel, and shop.
Children love the freedom of the woods and the normally shallow river which gurgles peacefully between rocks and tiny islets down to Loch Ness, but parents are warned that the riverbank is unfenced and that the river can rise in wet weather.
About 30 minutes drive from Inverness and 45 minutes from Ben Nevis and Fort William, this is another good centre from which to visit the West Coast, Moray Firth and Skye.
