An entire 3 bedroom house with excellent view. Excellent laundry facilities. All rooms are nice size. Kitchen very modern and well equipment. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Croft House. It was quiet, loved the fires and the kitchen was well equipped. The bedrooms were very spacious and the location was only a 10-15 min drive to Inverness. Perfect for what we wanted. A lovely little house.
Property is great, full of charm, fully stocked with anything you might need. Be warned however, the driveway is long, unpaved, and very bumpy. I would not drive it again unless it was in a 4WD vehicle.
Relaxing stay with exceptional views of Loch Ness. Comfortable beds and the fireplaces were a treat. Home from home. Drive way is steep and on an unmade road so may not be suitable for low profile cars. Attentive host and good facilities.
Absolutely LOVELY stay with our family. The location is perfection as it’s quiet and calm - but close enough to pop into Inverness for a meal. Cabin was cozy and perfectly appointed. Barry - and the pups - were so welcoming, some of the kindest hosts we’ve ever had.
Coffee in the mornings overlooking Loch Ness was an absolute dream. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous little spot with us!!
The layout is fantastic, the kitchen well stocked and the beds were the best on our trip. Barry welcomed us upon our arrival and was fantastic at communicating prior. My son loved being able to look out over Loch Ness and watch for Nessie. I just wish we'd had a chance to meet the dogs! Was in a great location, nice and quiet, yet close enough to Inverness. We hope to return again.
Had a wonderful stay. The cottage was perfect. Cozy & so comfortable. The views were amazing. Overall, we had a great stay. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely stay here!
What a pleasant stay we had at Lairgmore Croft House! We were welcomed by Barry upon our arrival and immediately felt at home in the well-appointed cozy house. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and throughout. The kids enjoyed the home very much, especially the Scooby Doo and the Loch Ness monster and Highlands wildlife DVDs. We spent as much time as possible in the side yard with beautiful views of Loch Ness and the blooming flowers. What a great way to have breakfast and coffee in the mornings! The location is great and the home was just what we needed to relax and unwind by the fireplace after days of exploring the Highlands. Thank you Barry!
This would be a 6 star review if that were possible. Barry, the host, was extremely communicative and helpful leading up to our stay. The directions to access the property, which is remote and off the roadway, were very good. The property itself is gorgeous. It was clean, well stocked/supplied, and just as advertised. The instructions for everything were clear and easy to find. Waking up and going to bed with gorgeous views of Loch Ness, sitting by the fire or in the window, or sitting outside on the bench or chairs - there are worse ways to pass the time! I would absolutely stay again and cannot recommend Barry and his beautiful house more.
We stayed for 2 days and enjoyed the view! Thank you for the laundry services! beds were comfortable and the place was so clean. The driveway was a monster but to be expected for those views!
Het is mooie cottage. De locatie is alleen lastig te vinden. Er is geen mobiel bereik in de buurt van de cottage, waardoor we het precieze huisje moeilijk konden vinden. Ook de onverharde weg omhoog is voor de eerste keer wel een uitdaging. We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad.
The perfect place stay. Wish now we could have stayed longer.
The pictures do not do justice to this place. The house had everything we needed including a warm fire at night. Barry was great. We enjoyed talking with him. The view was spectacular. Our only regret came the day we left. All of us agreeded we should have stayed longer. This was a wonderful place to begin our Scotland holiday.
Two couples. Outstanding layout for four. Well stocked with basic needs (coffee, tea, etc). Home was very cozy and clean. Great location to access Inverness, Ft William, and surrounding area without being in the hubbub of the cities.
We stayed in several accommodations over our two weeks in scotland and this was our favorite. The host was very friendly and accomodating our larger vehicle. Beautifully restored home with modern conveniences and a splendid view of the loch and canal entrance.
Cozy spacious house with amazing Loch Ness view! Barry and family are very welcoming and helpful. House has everything you need in the kitchen and a nice collection of movies for evenings. The location is perfect for touring Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle.
We had a lovely break here, the view was great and the fires made it very cosy. The kids loved having their own bedrooms upstairs. Barry was very helpful and communication was great.
Myself, my wife and my kids loved the cottage and didn’t want to leave. Beautiful setting overlooking the loch and a very cosy cottage. The only downside was the weather but we all still made the most of it. The owner Barry was there to greet us on arrival, a very nice chap indeed and we’ll definately plan a future visit :-) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a wonderful cottage. Everything from the location, to the views, to the beautifully decorated home, made it the perfect place for that stretch of our vacation. An easy drive down from Inverness and then about 20 minutes drive down to Drumnadrochit and Urquhart Castle.
The cottage is bigger than the pictures show, and more updated. Very well appointed and extremely comfortable. We were very happy and would stay again!
Stayed for two nights so our Aussie friends could watch for Nessie! Lovely, comfortable accommodations with an amazing view. Enjoyed eating outside on the terrace, listening to the birds and watching the weather over the loch. Inside was cosy and well equipped. We felt cared for by the host.
Die gemütlichste Unterkunft die wir in Schottland hatten
Das Haus strahl eine unglaubliche Gemütlichkeit aus. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und unser Urlaub genossen. Bequeme Betten, schönes Badezimmer, eine super ausgestattete Küche, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich. Die Lage war wunderschön, mit einem gigantischen Ausblick. Wir würden diese Unterkunft jederzeit weiterempfehlen.
Yes a beautiful view and a cozy cottage that has everything you need . Add an incredible host and you have a wonderful stay . We found Dore beach from a picture there in the bedroom and it’s an incredible view looking down Loch Ness.

What makes this property unique
The view, the cosy open fires, wildlife on the doorstep, deer that visit. A rural setting yet close enough to the city of Inverness.
