The Polmaily Cottages
near Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness

Betten 5/6 and 6

Road to Polmaily Just 2 miles west of the village of Drumnadrochit - (shops/restaurants/Loch Ness Monster Museum) on Loch Ness between Inverness (half-hour's drive) and Fort William (one hour's drive) - these two attractive, separately-sited, detached cottages at Polmaily are set on a hillside above the wooded valley of the River Enrick - off the beaten tourist track and deally placed for exploring all the magnificent Highland scenery which surrounds them. Just 3 miles south is Castle Urquhart on the side of Loch Ness where 'monster' sightings have been recorded. To the west is Hamish Macbeth's 'Plockton' and The Isle of Skye and northwards is the stunning scenery of Glen Affric where 'The Last of The Mohicans' was filmed in this miniature Canadian-Rockies-like scenery many years ago.

Both sides of Loch Ness can be explored by car - or by boat; and as well as the loch-fishing (where fishing and boat must be paid for) - fishing for brown trout and salmon is included for cottage tenants on the owners' stretch of the (spate) River Enrick. There is excellent walking on Forestry Commission land roundabout; there is golf and riding nearby; and the chairlift up Ben Nevis at Aonoch Mhor (skiing in winter) is only a 45 minute drive away.

Polmaily Bothy

Polmaily Bothy is an old stone 'bothy' - architecturally re-designed internally - which stands, detached, with its own pretty patio-garden (furniture/barbecue), at the edge of what was, formerly, a traditional farm-steading. Double- glazed, and very cosy with its wood-burning stove, it has a stone- flagged floor and wooden beams, and its wide doorways and level flooring, make it ideal for the less able. It is altogether a most comfortable house for all seasons of the year.

Heating is by wood-burning stove, and total-control central-heating. Bed-linen and towels are included. We regret no pets. A refundable householders deposit is required.

Polmaily Cottage

Polmaily Cottage is another comfortable family house, originally two cottages but now completely modernised, into one very convenient south-facing house which has forestry behind it where roe-deer, a wide variety of birds, squirrels, and sometimes pine-martens are seen. It enjoys fine views across a pretty garden to the woods, and hills of Glen Urquhart beyond. Heating is by Rayburn, total-control central-heating and open-fire.
