A warm Highlands welcome awaits you at this lovely little detached cottage for two, which is situated next to the owners’ home and has been lovingly created to ensure as comfortable and relaxing holiday as possible. Only a mile from the popular village of Drumnadrochit, a holiday in Heron’s Rest Cottage can be as relaxing or action packed as you wish. The name Heron’s Rest relates to the resident Heron which can regularly be seen in the river, just a short stroll from the cottage where there is also a seating area to admire the view and catch a glimpse of the wildlife. Drumnadrochit is set on the shores of Loch Ness and at the head of Urquhart Bay, and has a good selection of shops and places to eat. The village also boasts to be the home of the official Loch Ness Monster Exhibition, or you can explore the ruins of historic Urquhart Castle.
There are many attractions of scenic and historical interest within easy reach, including Culloden Battlefield, Fort George and Cawdor and Brodie castles, or take a trip along the Malt Whisky Trail – the only one of its kind in the world! Visit some beautifully scenic fishing villages of the Moray coastline, voted one of the world’s top 20 coastal destinations. Inverness, the Highland Capital, is only 14 miles away where you will find a large variety of shops, fine restaurants, pubs, a theatre, museums and galleries.
Amongst the many activities available locally are boats trips, water sports and sea fishing along the Moray coastline or on Loch Ness, good monster spotting area! The area is a paradise for the outdoor enthusiast, with mountain biking, walking along the many forest trails, kayaking on the rivers and lochs, and photography, with a huge abundance of bird and wildlife on the doorstep. For the less energetic, sit back, relax and enjoy this peaceful setting, where happy memories of your Highland holiday will be made. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

The property was very clean and well equipped. Most enjoyable stay away. Quiet location but close to many beautiful areas to visit, with historic sights. Our stay was all the more enjoyable due to the epic weather. Highly recommend.

We arrived to a beautiful spotlessly clean cottage and met one of the owners John.
We arrived to a beautiful spotlessly clean cottage and met one of the owners John. He was very nice and talked away as if we had known each other for years and could not help enough. This is a cottage we would recommend to couples who want to relax and enjoy a quiet time very near to a great little village. We cannot praise Herons rest and the owners enough this with the beautiful surrounds and the great weather made our holiday worth while. All thats left to say if you are thinking of booking, dont think just book and you wont regret it but you will if you miss out.

We loved it at Heron's Rest.
We loved it at Heron's Rest. The cottage is perfect for two! The owners were lovely. The village is just up the road and we ate in 3 of the local places, all were fabulous. The Loch Ness Inn, Fiddler's and the Ness deli. We went out every day and saw some amazing sights. Unfortunately we didn't see Nessie!
