Marnie's Croft is a modernised croft house, now providing 4 star self catering accommodation in a unique elevated location with magnificent views overlooking Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness. The cottage is in a very private and secluded location. The attractive garden is an added pleasure with quality garden furniture provided.
Roe deer and other wildlife are frequently seen in the field right in front of the house. Walks on hill tracks start from the cottage door step and you can also stroll down to the shores of Loch Ness. The nearest pub is just 1 mile and shop 1.25 miles. It is in a very private location and an ideal place to unwind!
Accommodation This property accommodates seven people in one double, two twin, and one single bedded room. Bed linen is provided, but not towels. There are two bathrooms, one with lavatory, basin and bath, the other with lavatory, basin and power shower. The latter is on the ground floor, and is en suite with one of the twin bedded rooms. The spacious dining room and sitting room both have superb views overlooking Loch Ness. Heating is by electricity with the addition of a wood burner which maintains a cosy, friendly atmosphere. Car parking is limited to three cars at this property. Pets welcome - one dog allowed at the cottage. Marnie's cottage is situated on Borlum hill farm, an historic farm dating back to its service to Urquhart Castle in the 16th century, providing castle inmates and retainers with necessary sustaining provisions! Today sheep and horses are seen grazing the fields around the castle.
Borlum Farm incorporates horse riding stables which have excellent facilities, horses and ponies to suit most riders and magnificent riding country with views that will linger in your memory for years to come. Beginners, novices and experienced riders are all welcome.
The central position of Drumnadrochit is ideal for exploring both the immediate area and further afield. We boast, surprisingly, a favourable weather record!
A wide choice of restaurants, fishing, hill walking, boating, tennis and bowls are available locally. Borlum Bay woods are a nature conservancy site for rare woodland and bog plants and wildlife. Inverness offers a good shopping centre, golf, curling, swimming pool, museums and theatre. It is on a good bus route and takes only twenty minutes by car.
This area provides some of the most wonderful scenery in Scotland with much to see and do for everyone. For those who just want peace and beauty, there are many roads and tracks that lead deep into the surrounding hills and glens.
