This refurbished family farmhouse enjoys a unique setting on the Caledonian canal, midway between Loch Ness and the city of Inverness. A perfect retreat for family and friends, this secluded location has fully fenced gardens with direct access to the canal and spectacular views of the open countryside and hills beyond. Both the City itself and boat trips down the Loch are within walking distance of the house. Enjoy an evening under the stars in the wood-fired hot tub, cosily ensconced in the living room or cook up a family feast in the large kitchen-diner.
Setting
The extensive secure gardens and orchard offer the perfect place to relax. Facing the canal, the house has a large raised deck with soft seating and dining area where you can chill and watch the boats go by. Or have a sing-song and warm yourselves round the fire pit where you will find rustic log seating and a Japanese plate BBQ. Indulge yourselves in the large wood-fired hot tub under its own fairy pagoda just waiting for you to immerse yourself and relax.
