Gather your friends and family for a few fun filled days on the banks of Loch Ness. Surrounded by stunning scenery, there’s great walking and cycling from the doorstep, a short walk takes you to the iconic Urquhart Castle and Inverness is just a 20 min drive away. What a great way to celebrate a birthday, organise a post covid reunion or simply get together to enjoy each other’s company in this unique setting.
With 45 beds across 9 rooms and a lovely large self catering kitchen there will be space for everyone. What’s more the Lodge’s wood burning stove and well stocked bar will be just what you need after a day exploring this wonderful part of the country.

Lots of availability for large groups on the banks of Loch Ness throughout October.
