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 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.

Two comfortable bedrooms one with a King size bed and the other set up as 2 full 3 ft singles. On request, at time of booking, we can put these together to make one bed. required. Both bedrooms have direct access outside via french windows and have their own seating areas.

The cottage was lovely and the grounds were beautiful. The host was amazing and helped us after we arrived there to find no power at the home, due to a storm that had passed through earlier in the day. Luckily she was able to move us to another place for the night.

Lovely stay
The cottage was idyllic in a perfect location and so peaceful. Beautiful garden and the house was gorgeous. The only issue i had was with the sofa in the living room, being disabled i chose the cottage because it was accessible which it was apart from the sofa which eas so lowndown i was unable to get out ofbit without help and it was extremely uncomfortable for mento sit on. The outdoor seating was the same and i was unable to sit outside as i could not get in and out of the chair which was a shame as the garden was stunning. I would definitely recommend it but maybe not ideal for anyone suffering with arthritis.

Perfectly Appointed
We picked the Cottage in Upper Dunain based on its pictures and description, and it exceeded our expectations! The property owner has thought of everything to make for a comfortable stay. We cooked wonderful meals together in the well-equipped kitchen, took the picnic bag and swimming towels out on excursions, and enjoyed our time together in all the cottage spaces. Highly recommend this property, and would stay there again any time!

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!

Exceptional get away
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.
