Rowan Tree Cottage Self Catering

Rowan Tree - Self catering cottage - Sleeps 4 - Pets welcome.

Rowan Tree cottage offers a traditional Highland welcome. Step back in time as you enter this charming timber cottage with its tranquil atmosphere and old world ambience. Styled on the hill bungalows of Kashmir. it was built in 1934 by the owner's Great Aunt on her retirement from a life working in India. The cottage has about an acre of wild garden of heather and trees, and is situated beside a very minor road at the head of the Pass of Inverfarigaig, (part of which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its flora) just a mile and a half from the southern shores of Loch Ness. Privacy is assured, as the nearest house is about 400 metres away, and 50 metres down the road a forest track links into a network of paths through Farigaig forest - ideal for a walk with your pet.

The partially enclosed verandah offers wonderful open views to the hill on the northern side of Loch Ness - Mealfuarvonie (Gaelic for the rounded hill of the cold hollow.) This sun room invites you to sit back and relax with a book and a 'dram', or perhaps enjoy listening to some traditional Scottish music. On clear and frosty winter nights you may be lucky enough to have a seat with a grandstand view of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis.

Centrally situated for touring, Cairngorm National Park, Fort William and Glencoe, Skye and the white sand beaches of the north-west are all within easy reach – or you may prefer to relax locally – visit the Falls of Foyers, do some Nessie spotting, or go walking, swimming or birdwatching. The RSPB have a hide nearby, where you may see Slavonian Grebes, or you could try your hand at trout fishing with a local guide, or relax with some complementary therapy. Inverness is a half hour’s drive, for some retail therapy, and local Hotels provide good food if you don’t feel like cooking.
