About this farm stay rental

This refurbished family farmhouse enjoys a unique setting on the Caledonian canal, midway between Loch Ness and the city of Inverness. A perfect retreat for family and friends, this secluded location has fully fenced gardens with direct access to the canal and spectacular views of the open countryside and hills beyond. Both the City itself and boat trips down the Loch are within walking distance of the house. Enjoy an evening under the stars in the wood-fired hot tub, cosily ensconced in the living room or cook up a family feast in the large kitchen-diner.

Setting
The extensive secure gardens and orchard offer the perfect place to relax. Facing the canal, the house has a large raised deck with soft seating and dining area where you can chill and watch the boats go by. Or have a sing-song and warm yourselves round the fire pit where you will find rustic log seating and a Japanese plate BBQ. Indulge yourselves in the large wood-fired hot tub under its own fairy pagoda just waiting for you to immerse yourself and relax.

Your accommodation
A cosy sitting room with a log burner provides the perfect place to relax after a hard day on the hill, sampling whisky, playing golf or exploring the many local places of interest. Freeview Sat, Smart TV, with all the apps and DVD player and plenty of DVDs for all the family are provided. There is also a stereo docking system and a good selection of board games, cards and proper old-fashioned books!

    Every time we stay here we do not want to leave. The farmhouse is so nice, beautiful location, well kept, excellent amenities. It's a great location for exploring Inverness and the Highlands. Direct access to walk along the canal. Beautiful farm setting to relax and watch the deer, pheasants, rabbits, and more. We will be back again as soon as we are able!

    We booked this property for its proximity to Loch Ness Country Hotel, where we were attending a wedding. Perfect in that respect. The property was wonderfully isolated, we made good use of the hot tub, the decor was stylish, and there was loads of space. Plenty seating, great to have 3 bathrooms. Our only issue was being unable to access terrestrial TV and having to use catch up services to watch daily news. Would definitely return.

    Fabulous property with wonderful hosts. Our first stay was lovely so we came back again this year. And it was perfect again! Walk along the canal, watch wildlife from the back porch: deer, pheasants, rabbits. Soak in the hot tub, relax by the fireplace in the den... Only a few minutes drive to Inverness. It's a great location for exploring the Highlands. We will be back again.

    A lovely stay in a very charming old farmhouse on the Caledonia Canal. Appreciated the provisions of apples, jam, coffee, ice and milk. We stayed here without a car but the taxi drivers were not deterred by its remote location which was only a 15 minute drive from the city center. For the six of us it was country bliss. We walked into Inverness which took over an hour along the canal and River Ness but well worth it. A unique and relaxing experience.

    Location, location. If you don't mind winding down a farm road for almost a mile through woodland and field, opening and closing livestock gates along the way this is the place for you! The house is warm and cozy and superbly outfitted. The beds are very comfortable. The lawn and gardens are bountiful, with canal paths and woodland walks right outside your door. We made good use of the wood fired hot tub, the outdoor fire and even the barrel grill. Our contact with the property manager was easy and prompt and helpful, and the property "manual" is complete and well done. If you have kids do not miss Farm Ness, and Abriachan Forest playground and hike, and a walk down the canal path to catch a short boat tour on Loch Ness to see Urquart Castle. Just lovely, highly recommend!

    Everyone should experience a stay at Dunaincroy. It is in an idyllic and beautiful location, with the canal as a bonus. The house is second to none - beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. There are so many tourist attractions within a small radius, making Dunaincroy the perfect place for an unforgettable holiday.
