Taigh Geal Self Catering

Taigh Geal - Lewiston - Loch Ness.  Self catering cottage for 2, wood burning stove, pets welcome.

Taigh Geal (the Gaelic meaning is 'White House' and is pronounced Tie Gale) is the perfect choice for couples wishing to holiday in go self catering accommodation. Quiet and private, the cottage is within easy walking distance of Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness and the shops, bars and visitor attractions of Drumnadrochit. Pet friendly too - the cottage owners are dog owners so understand the need for pet friendly accommodation and provide it here at Taigh Geal for well behaved dogs and owners!

Location wise, Taigh Geal is ideal for visiting the other main centres around Loch Ness, being midway between Fort Augustus and Inverness. The cottage itself is situated in Lewiston village and, true to its Gaelic name, is painted white and built traditionally in stone, now renovated to a high standard.

The garden is also delightful - mostly lawns giving way to natural meadows which host a profusion of wild flowers, bluebells, primroses and many others as you are drawn all the way down to the river Coiltie at the bottom of the garden. There is a bench here on the riverbank where you can sit quietly and wait to see any passing wildlife and there is much of it here for patient onlookers. There is an area of raised decking situated near the back door - a real sun trap and a perfect barbecue area.

Just across the river runs the Great Glen Way, a long distance path which runs from Inverness to Fort William. You will get some great views and exercise by walking a section of this trail during your holiday AND you don't need the car - you can leave it safely parked in the cottage private parking space for the whole week if you like ! It will, no doubt, be a bonus for pet owners, to be able to take the dog for a walk without having to drive to the start point. It is for you, an essential requirement for a holiday cottage, wherever it is.
