The Granary, Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness

Sleeps 4 - Wood Burner - Wifi - One Dog Welcome

The Granary self catering accommodation at Drumnadrochit is a delightful conversion, now a country cottage with charm and quality. Renovated to a very high standard the character and original features of this 150 year old former grain store for the nearby Manse have been retained. The Minister's horse was also kept here, together with the gig for riding out.

The peaceful atmosphere of both the garden and cottage, with the soft sound of running water from the shallow burn beside the cottage, inspires relaxation from the very start of your holiday. Mature trees of beech, an ancient Cyprus and a Cedar of Lebanon, grace the surroundings. You will receive a warm Highland welcome on your arrival.  The Granary is situated in the garden to the rear of the owners property. Set on the edge of the village of Drumnadrochit there are a number of houses dotted around, this is not an isolated property but the owners have done their utmost to create an 'air of privacy' for their guests.

The popular village of Drumnadrochit situated on the north shore of Loch Ness, is only a 5 minute walk.  With its shops, pubs, restaurants and a variety of local activities available to keep you entertained.  A visit to the award winning Loch Ness Centre will give you an unforgettable experience.  You can take the Tour or Tour and Cruise, to find out all about the mysterys of Loch Ness and 'Nessie'.  Explore over 1000 years of history at Urquhart Castle, or try a guided fishing tour of Loch Ness with Fish Loch Ness.  These are all available on your doorstep, if you want to relax and stay locally for your holiday.  If further adventures beckon Drumnadrochit is an excellent base to explore the Highlands and  Inverness is only 14 miles away. 

The Granary is an ideal place for discerning holidaymakers to choose, where quality matters. We welcome dogs and there are several woodland walks in the village, perfect for dog walking.

From the booking to leaving everything was perfect. The Granary is an excellent cottage in Drumnadrochit. Our hosts Mairi and Paul were friendly and the cottage had everything we needed. Our 4th visit there and we will return again

Lovely cottage, very warm and cosy. Ideal location for visiting local and not so local areas of interest. We did Skye, Oban, Ullapool, Aviemore to name a few. Wish we'd had better weather for Chanonry Point but we'll go back there on our next visit to look for whales and dolphins. The cottage was well equipped and the welcome pack was an added bonus. Fresh flowers were lovely. Lovely hosts. Used Wilderness Cottages a few times now and, as always, excellent service. Will definitely use them again.

Wonderful week away in this gorgeous cottage. Furnishings were of an excellent standard and overall it was very cosy with loads of homely touches. Hosts were so friendly and the welcome gift was very unexpected. Great base for exploring. People in the village were also very friendly and welcoming, especially at The Loch Ness Inn. We would definitely recommend this property and would return in a heartbeat.
