Exclusive hillside retreat with stunning view and hot tub, ideal for Loch Ness

Druim Buidhe ("Yellow Ridge") is situated in an elevated position near Loch Ness, with fantastic views over the village of Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness and the Monadh Liath mountains. We are a rural location with a working sheep farm nearby and easy access for walkers onto the heather-covered hills behind the property. Druim Buidhe is a short drive along a farm track from the tarmac road.

Druim Buidhe is light, airy, spacious and modern. An open plan kitchen/dining/living area leads to the bedroom, which has en suite walk-in shower and toilet. The bed is UK king size. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and kettle, as well as a good selection of cooking pans, utensils, glassware and crockery (including cafetière and teapot). There is a TV, DVD player (including selection of DVDs) and free Wi-Fi. A thermostat controls temperature. From the loungers on the private outdoor decking area you can enjoy the stunning view. There is ramp access for wheelchairs or strollers.

Druim Buidhe comes with its own outdoor hot tub for your exclusive use.

We welcome children. Please inform us ahead of time and, if need be, we can set up cribs, travel cots or rollaway beds, either in the bedroom or in the living room.

Our outdoor space is open, a bit wild and offers tremendous views and a surprising amount of sunshine given our location!

It is the perfect spot to get away from it all and enjoy watching the weather roll across the landscape or get straight out into the wilderness from the doorstep. We hope you can sit back, unwind and enjoy your stay in our beautiful surroundings.

Three other things…

1. Mobile signal can be weak and intermittent. However, our lodges have free Wi-Fi so you will able to stay in touch with the outside world (if you really want to!).

2. The property is situated in four acres of land, shared with the owners' home and a second holiday let, with a large, sloping lawn and some wilder areas, all of which you are welcome to enjoy. There is a small pond and an accessible stream that runs along one side of the property. There are also wood-stores around the property and large log-piles. All this provides a great place for children to explore. But we ask that parents please remain aware of the potential dangers and supervise their children at all times. In places, there is a steep drop down to the stream, and there is no fence.

3. We are next to a sheep farm with easy access to the hillside and would ask that walkers respect the countryside code (for example, leaving all gates as you find them and being sensitive to livestock, especially during lambing season).
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Loch Ness 2000 Exhibition Centre. You'll find features such as 1 hot tub. A kitchen and a patio are available in the holiday home.
  • The holiday home offers a kitchen, a patio and a living room
  • Just a 3-minute drive from Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition and a few minutes from Loch Ness 2000 Exhibition Centre
Exclusive hillside retreat with stunning view and hot tub, ideal for Loch Ness offers its guests a hot tub, barbecue grills, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

Loch Ness stay
We had a lovely time in Drumnadrockit. Property was excellent with terrific views. The hot tub a definite plus. Hosts, Suzanne &Richard, we’re very informative but never intrusive. They told us to visit the Foddra falls in Glen Affric which were memorable. Still looking for Nessy! Hope to come back soon.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The owners were beyond amazing and super helpful, nothing was to much to ask of them. The property was exactly as pictured plus extremely cosy. The hot tub and views were absolutely amazing too even when it was dark the clear nights showed the stars. Perfect for our honeymoon! Can't say enough about the owners and our stay we can't wait to be able to go back.x

Perfect short break
7 days of bliss in this very spacious accommodation with amazing views and hot tub. Everything you needed was provided including bath robes for hot tub, hosts were available for info but not intrusive. Walks from the doorstep, Drives to Skye, Glen Affric and Dornoch, sail on Loch Ness, eating out in the Loch Ness Inn. Just perfect.

A perfect stay
We stayed at the property for 5 nights in mid September and it was absolutely perfect! Richard and Suzanne were really helpful, always on hand if needed but also left us to it. It was very clean, spacious and very cosy. There were plenty of appliances, cutlery, pots and pans etc needed for the week. There were towels and tea towels and even dressing gowns for the hot tub (we brought our own not realising it would be so well equipped.) The views are amazing, so scenic, you’d never get used to such lovely views! The pictures online don’t do them justice... it’s just such a perfect spot with so much to see. The hot tub was a great addition to a lovely lodge and our favourite bit! With the location, it’s a very steep walk in to the town and back, but in the car only takes a few minutes and Drumnadrochit is lovely, a quaint little village with a few tea rooms, pub, gift shop, chemist and even a co op so you’re all set! You’re in a Great location for exploring. We visited Isle of Skye, Inverness and Culloden, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was our first time visiting Scotland and we’ve recommended this property to all our family and friends, and cannot praise it enough, if you want some luxury and to see the real Scotland book here!

A little bit of heaven
Fabulous property! Comfy, spacious, spotless, modern, and with a view you never want to leave (in any weather!!) The icing on the cake is the hot tub! What an absolute treat to be wallowing in the lovely warm water whilst sipping wine and gazing at the view and the hare in the field below! The owners live next door and are so friendly , helpful and charming. Couldnt recommend it highly enough and will hopefully be back one day.
