Luxury Highland Hideaway with Hot Tub by LochNess

Upper Dunain Cottage is a luxury secluded cottage in a unique setting - midway between Loch Ness and the city of Inverness ( 5 Minutes each way). Sitting in an historic highland estate the secured location has fully fenced gardens offering direct access to wonderful hill and forest walks up to the Great Glen Way and the wilderness of the highlands and yet is only minutes from the amenities of a major town and nearby transport hubs. It is also a great starting point for the North 500.

The outdoor space also has plenty of seating and dining areas with a fire pit, bbq and wood fired hot tub with its own decking and pagoda. Please note that this is a working farm so there is often livestock around in addition to a plethora of wildlife including deer, pine martins, red squirrels and birds of all description.

Up to two dogs are welcome, but please keep in mind the wildlife - so keep gates shut.

The cosy sitting room has a wood burning stove, books, games and TV with free view, netflix, amazon prime etc. It also has beautiful views both sides of the room.

The extensive kitchen/diner is fully equipped with an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, induction hob, electric oven, air fryer and every amenity you could wish for. The dining section has a table with seating for up to 5 and has an electric wood burner and a sound docking system.

There is a separate Utility room complete with integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, out door equipment and plenty of storage.

Two comfortable bedrooms with King sized beds - ONE OF THESE ZIP & LINK CAN BE DIVIDED INTO 2 SINGLES, as required. Both bedrooms have direct access outside via french windows and have their own seating areas.

All linen and bedding is high quality Egyptian cotton from Tielle Loves Luxury as recommended by House and Garden Magazine and Country Life and is also used by many 5* hotels. The bedding is hypoallergenic

By request and by separate arrangement we can also provide a cot

All soaps and shampoos are organic and sourced from the Highland Soap Company.

There is one large shower room and one large bathroom with a beautiful view to the hills.

I have supplied a comprehensive house manual in which you will also find suggestions for day trips, visitor attractions, shops, restaurants etc - in addition I have also included all the required emergency numbers that you might need during your stay.

Wonderful Stay
Very beautiful location! The ONLY challenge was finding it the first time. The Upper Dunain sign by the highway is small and in a shady spot. The owner was very helpful once we settled in. Great cottage! Wish we'd stayed longer!

The house was immaculate, clean and very comfy with great facilities. It was located in a rural area that felt remote and peaceful but was still just a short drive from shops, Inverness and a great base to see more of Scotland. Garden was safely enclosed for our wee dog to explore and right outside the back gate was a beautiful woodland trail where we saw lots of nature. The hot tub was especially welcome and so relaxing along with the fire in the living room that lasted for ages and kept the room cosy. Good shower, coffee machine and beds. Overall a wonderful place for a break.
