About this property
Exclusive hillside retreat with stunning view and hot tub, ideal for Loch Ness
Druim Buidhe ("Yellow Ridge") is situated in an elevated position near Loch Ness, with fantastic views over the village of Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness and the Monadh Liath mountains. We are a rural location with a working sheep farm nearby and easy access for walkers onto the heather-covered hills behind the property. Druim Buidhe is a short drive along a farm track from the tarmac road.
Druim Buidhe is light, airy, spacious and modern. An open plan kitchen/dining/living area leads to the bedroom, which has en suite walk-in shower and toilet. The bed is UK king size. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and kettle, as well as a good selection of cooking pans, utensils, glassware and crockery (including cafetière and teapot). There is a TV, DVD player (including selection of DVDs) and free Wi-Fi. A thermostat controls temperature. From the loungers on the private outdoor decking area you can enjoy the stunning view. There is ramp access for wheelchairs or strollers.
Druim Buidhe comes with its own outdoor hot tub for your exclusive use.
We welcome children. Please inform us ahead of time and, if need be, we can set up cribs, travel cots or rollaway beds, either in the bedroom or in the living room.
Our outdoor space is open, a bit wild and offers tremendous views and a surprising amount of sunshine given our location!
It is the perfect spot to get away from it all and enjoy watching the weather roll across the landscape or get straight out into the wilderness from the doorstep. We hope you can sit back, unwind and enjoy your stay in our beautiful surroundings.
Three other things…
1. Mobile signal can be weak and intermittent. However, our lodges have free Wi-Fi so you will able to stay in touch with the outside world (if you really want to!).
2. The property is situated in four acres of land, shared with the owners' home and a second holiday let, with a large, sloping lawn and some wilder areas, all of which you are welcome to enjoy. There is a small pond and an accessible stream that runs along one side of the property. There are also wood-stores around the property and large log-piles. All this provides a great place for children to explore. But we ask that parents please remain aware of the potential dangers and supervise their children at all times. In places, there is a steep drop down to the stream, and there is no fence.
3. We are next to a sheep farm with easy access to the hillside and would ask that walkers respect the countryside code (for example, leaving all gates as you find them and being sensitive to livestock, especially during lambing season).

Great hosts, quick to respond to any questions.
Beautiful panoramic views of highlands. Very comfortable beds, and living room space. All with amazing, scenic views.
Well equipped kitchen.
Hottub was a great bonus.
Beautiful cottage done to a high standard over looking spectacular scenery. Lots of additional extras including hot tub, very welcome after a days walking. Very friendly hosts.
Had an amazing few days here... the property and views are absolutely stunning. Richard and Suzanne were perfect hosts. Couldn't have asked for a better 3 day stay.
Fabulous cottage, fabulous location and Richard and Suzanne were fabulous hosts.
we had such a great and relacing time that we hope to be back soon. Highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you for letting us stay .

Très beau voyage en Ecosse. Maison très confortable avec vue imprenable sur les montagnes. Richard et Suzanne sont très sympathiques, accueillants et disponibles en cas de besoin.
We had a lovely time in Drumnadrockit. Property was excellent with terrific views. The hot tub a definite plus. Hosts, Suzanne &Richard, we’re very informative but never intrusive. They told us to visit the Foddra falls in Glen Affric which were memorable. Still looking for Nessy!
Hope to come back soon.
Our second stay at this lovely property and we already can't wait to book again. Its the perfect getaway for a relaxing few nights away and the view never gets old. The house is spotless and Richard and Suzanne are the perfect hosts. Thanks again!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The owners were beyond amazing and super helpful, nothing was to much to ask of them. The property was exactly as pictured plus extremely cosy. The hot tub and views were absolutely amazing too even when it was dark the clear nights showed the stars. Perfect for our honeymoon! Can't say enough about the owners and our stay we can't wait to be able to go back.x
7 days of bliss in this very spacious accommodation with amazing views and hot tub. Everything you needed was provided including bath robes for hot tub, hosts were available for info but not intrusive. Walks from the doorstep, Drives to Skye, Glen Affric and Dornoch, sail on Loch Ness, eating out in the Loch Ness Inn. Just perfect.
We stayed at the property for 5 nights in mid September and it was absolutely perfect! Richard and Suzanne were really helpful, always on hand if needed but also left us to it. It was very clean, spacious and very cosy. There were plenty of appliances, cutlery, pots and pans etc needed for the week. There were towels and tea towels and even dressing gowns for the hot tub (we brought our own not realising it would be so well equipped.)
The views are amazing, so scenic, you’d never get used to such lovely views! The pictures online don’t do them justice... it’s just such a perfect spot with so much to see.
The hot tub was a great addition to a lovely lodge and our favourite bit!
With the location, it’s a very steep walk in to the town and back, but in the car only takes a few minutes and Drumnadrochit is lovely, a quaint little village with a few tea rooms, pub, gift shop, chemist and even a co op so you’re all set! You’re in a Great location for exploring. We visited Isle of Skye, Inverness and Culloden, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed.
It was our first time visiting Scotland and we’ve recommended this property to all our family and friends, and cannot praise it enough, if you want some luxury and to see the real Scotland book here!
We had a wonderful time, the location & property are both stunning! Perfect for walks around Loch Ness and the house had everything we could have needed. The hot tub was an added bonus!
We had the best most relaxing weekend ever at Richard and Suzannes property. The house is amazing with spectacular views. The hot tub is a great treat after a long walk around Glen Affric. Wonderful place, wonderful setting and everything you need for a getaway
Property is immaculate, lovely place to stay with amazing views and the hot tub just topped it off. Owners are very helpful and friendly. Hope to be back in future :)

A little bit of heaven
Fabulous property! Comfy, spacious, spotless, modern, and with a view you never want to leave (in any weather!!) The icing on the cake is the hot tub! What an absolute treat to be wallowing in the lovely warm water whilst sipping wine and gazing at the view and the hare in the field below! The owners live next door and are so friendly , helpful and charming. Couldnt recommend it highly enough and will hopefully be back one day.
