Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Loch Ness

Magical, relaxing, calming, surrounded by beauty and nature. We cannot recommend Miep and Derrywood highly enough. Our only regret is we didn’t stay for longer, but hope to be back asap. 5/5 isn’t enough, as this home and host (Miep) well exceeded all our expectations. Thank you for the most blissful and memorable stay!!!

The lodge was unbelievably beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice. Felt like a dream and the host was great. Made sure we had what we needed for a peaceful and pleasant stay. Probably one of the best views we’ve had while enjoying our breakfast. Would absolutely recommend East Lodge and will have to come back

Alison was a wonderful host for her place from giving us excellent directions (we came in after dark and still found it easily) to checking us in personally. We communicated with her that we had left later than planned and would be getting there late so we certainly didn't expect a personal check-in, but it was much appreciated. The place itself is a charming croft and a small distance from Spean Bridge into the countryside. The views are gorgeous and the interior is welcoming and well equipped. For us it was a central location for exploring - .5 hour to Fort William, 1.5 hrs to Glen Creran, and slighly less than 2 hrs to Kyle of Lochalsh and the Skybridge to the Isle of Skye, etc. We would hike all day and come home late to make a last meal and sleep. Having a washer and dryer in a mud room area was fabulous with mud on our hikes. We would definitely stay here again both for the scenery and the hospitality.

Me and some friends stayed in Katherine’s house. This was a lovely experience and would highly recommend to anyone who is thinking of visiting the area. Lots of beautiful views and scenery on the doorstep of this property.

Fantastic stay with the kids. The Mole Catchers Cottage was absolutely stunning and felt lovely and cosy. Location was great with loads of amenities within driving and walking distance. we will definitely be back. Thank you Norton Family. x

We had a fabulous stay. The house was cosy and spotless and well equipped with everything you need. Close to lots of walks and cycles and Rothiemurchus (near Aviemore) not to far away for other activities ; we did the quad biking. Scott was a great host, and gave us all the instructions we needed to easily find the house - would definitely recommend staying here.

The space was perfect for us. The kids loved the big garden and access to the beach. The house is cosy and views are breathtaking. Beds are comfortable and generally the house felt like a home for our holiday. Had great fun with the table tennis.

Having visted Rannoch Lodge and Ghillies Cottage for many, many years, it is now home from home. Yes, it's a long drive in but boy is the view worth it! Instant peace, tranquility and relaxation in a breathtaking setting. Just a minute walk to the lawn and the loch with the most beautiful firepit for warmth at all times of the year if you are happy to potter about. Alternatively there's plenty of walking from the doorstep. Supermarkets will deliver to the door but if you do forget something then the local shop is located just 20 mins away in Kinloch Rannoch. The tea room there is also recommended as is the one at the railway station - but note this one is not open out of season. The cottage as usual is always spotlessly clean and Irek is on hand if there are any issues or to answer any questions. Great communication before arrival and a handy guide supplied too. Thanks once again to Richard and the team at Rannoch Lodge for another wonderful stay.

Perfect for our stay visiting family - clean with fab amenities. Thanks Simon!

Looked just like the pictures, great amenities, very comfortable stay. From hairdryer and hair straightener, iron etc. I would definitely stay again!

Perfect location. Accommodation was very comfortable. Had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. Access to the secure garden was ideal with the kids. The house was spotless. Allyson was very friendly and helpful. Really loved our time in Carrbridge - thank you so much for having us Allyson and Poppy x

Our second time staying here. On arrival we were greeted by Mike who showed us around. Lovely apartment with views onto the Cloisters. We made use of the amenities onsite, and enjoyed the stunning views and historic location. We had a wonderful stay once again.

Angela's place in Findhorn is simply beautiful and we had everything we needed from the amazing location, to the accommodation itself being exactly as advertised to the way the apartment is decorated and furnished. Angela made everything very easy for us; it is true, she does reply within 1 hour and we felt so welcome when we arrived. The fire was lit, there was prosecco chilling and the lamps we already on. The bay in Findhorn is stunning and the apartment is right on the sea front. It's a short walk to the sandy part of the bay to see the seals and there is a lovely pub, The Kimberley, no more than 100 metres up the road. Everything was wonderful. I would highly recommend Angela's place and we will definitely stay there again when we return to Findhorn. Thank you again.

It’s a very nice place, you can see every detail of the design is so beautiful and modern. You can sit at the outdoor space with fire for an amazing morning tea. Would definitely recommend you to stay!

Immaculate and Cody place. Great kitchen. Lovely comfortable beds. We could not have asked for anything better. Great friendly host. Would highly recommend his place.

Just back from our family Easter weekend stay. The lodge couldn’t have been better, absolutely gorgeous, clean and had absolutely everything in it you can think of for a weekend away! Lorna was so helpful too. We will be back to stay again it was perfect

Thanks so much Jessica for hosting us on our first stop on (our version of) the NC500. We had such a wonderful time in your little oasis outside Cromarty. Perfect location for exploring the Black Isle and everything it has to offer. We were very lucky with the weather and to see dolphins almost on cue at nearby Chanonry Point. The nearby Fairy Glen falls were gorgeous and thanks for the recommendation of Big Burn Walk in Golspie, that was stunning! By far our best memories are sitting in the hot tub watching the deer in the fields, the sun go down, and bats soaring above our heads. Spectacular. Thanks so much for everything!! :)

This place was a dream for us and our dog! could not have picked a better location! was a great location to see things in the area with beautiful walks and lochs! also was a good location for getting to Skye! Lindsay also had a n amazing welcome pack which was such a nice touch for us and our dog! Lindsay was amazing and super helpful throughout! She even messaged us to give us a heads up about the northern lights being visible and allowed us to capture and see this for the first time ever! so grateful for this. highly recommend this place!

We really enjoyed our stay and found Gareth’s place to be quiet, peaceful and clean. Gareth was very responsive and we enjoyed meeting his two friendly dogs. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend Gareth’s place.

Sandra was an excellent host, we had a wonderful stay & were in the perfect location for the nc 500 famous peninsula drive. Very cosy , comfy beds & immaculate- we would have no hesitation in recommending a stay at Thistle do Nicely.

A very beautiful and peaceful home from home, this is the perfect location for anyone to explore Scotland, we had a wonderful experience here witnessing all that the highlands and the east coast has to offer. Lots of driving at times but you can easily spend a day relaxing and taking in the surroundings at Kimberley’s stay ! Thanks for a lovely stay 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The wee love nest was so cosy and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail is like nothing I've seen before! Just such a beautiful place to be and nice little walks in the surrounding area. The hot tub was absolutely wonderful and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and easy to chat to! 100% will be back in the future!

Glebe Cabin is a charming retreat nestled in the hills, offering a peaceful escape from everyday life. Emma was incredibly welcoming, providing helpful directions and even giving us a lift to the station. She is a truly kind and generous person. The cabin itself was spotless, well-equipped, and the perfect countryside getaway. It was cozy, well-ventilated, and kept at a comfortable temperature. We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience 😊
