Stroll beside the river and the loch from this delightful Scottish cabin. Sleeping five guests, the three-bedroom, dog-friendly hideaway offers an idyllic break for families and parties of friends. Set at Glenfinnan, 17 miles from Fort William, it offers the chance to immerse yourselves in the magnificent Highlands.
Make your way into the riverside retreat to find welcoming accommodation with an abundance of natural wood. At the heart of the holiday home is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where you can unwind and socialise together. Sink back into the plump leather sofas to gaze out into the trees. Curl up with your current novel or flick through the channels on the TV looking for something that everyone will enjoy watching. Open the French doors to the deck so you can all step out into the fresh air and sunshine. The kitchen area has been arranged to make self-catering easy and there is a farmhouse table to gather round to enjoy your delicious Scottish dishes. The bedrooms here have the same cosy, inviting feel as the living space. Treat yourself to a perfect night’s sleep in the double, twin or single. There is also a family shower room and a useful storage space within the lodge. Spill out onto the balcony at every opportunity. Sip your morning coffee outside and listen to the birds in the branches.
Walk just over 0.5 miles to see the celebrated Glenfinnan Viaduct, made even more famous by its appearances in the Harry Potter films. There are trails here that offer spectacular views of the dramatic structure. Another 0.5-mile hike will take you to the National Trust for Scotland’s Glenfinnan Monument with its far-reaching views across Loch Shiel. Tour the Ben Nevis Distillery, 15 miles away, and sample a wee dram of Scottish whisky while you are there.
