About this cottage rental
Set in the heart of historic Dochfour Gardens this 3 bedroom former gardener’s cottage has been reimagined to provide a luxury holiday haven with gorgeous views directly onto the loch and gardens.
Entering through the arboretum you will then be directed to the cottage with its own enclosed space. Guests not only have their own private garden but also access to the arboretum. A world with in a world surrounded by wonderful views and wildlife, yet only 10 minutes from the amenities of Inverness.
The cottage has its own secluded garden with hot tub. A soft seating and outside dining area is complemented by a fire pit /BBQ providing an idyllic oasis where you can relax outside after a day exploring the many local attractions.
As the house and garden is set in the middle of a much larger private garden you will have full access to your own private fenced area and also access to the arboretum but we kindly ask that you do not venture into the owners private gardens and stay within the boundaries indicated. Because of its sensitive location we can also not accept any pets and would say it is not ideally suited to small children (other than by special request).
Your accommodation
The stylish sitting room provides the perfect place to relax and has a wood burning stove, internet TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime apps etc. Games and books are available in the entry hall where there is also a separate working area with a desk.
The large open plan kitchen/ diner is fully equipped with fridge freezer, dishwasher, electric oven, hob and many additional amenities. There is an adjoining utility room with washer, dryer and extra storage.

One King size bedroom downstairs with views on to the garden has an adjoining shower room
While upstairs you will find a king size bedroom with views onto the lavender and walled garden and

All linen and bedding is high quality Egyptian cotton from Tielle Loves Luxury as recommended by House and Garden Magazine and Country Life and is also used by many 5* hotels. The bedding is hypoallergenic

.
All soaps and shampoos are organic and sourced from the Highland Soap Company.
I have supplied a comprehensive house manual in which you will find suggestions for day trips, visitor attractions, shops, restaurants etc as well as emergency numbers that you might need during your stay.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Garden Cottage. The location is stunning and the cottage is so pretty. Every amenity is provided and lots of extra touches. Especially useful for us were the stair gates both at the top and bottom of the stairs which takes the worry away when you have toddlers (no doubt this would also be useful for those with dogs). Towels for outside and robes for everyone was a great benefit. The cottage was warm and cosy and the garden was also a great addition as we had some sunshine so it was great to sit outside. Gigina provided us with a highchair and travel cot as promised. The location is so close to Inverness that popping in for some shopping or to collect a take away isnt an issue. We visited Ness Farm just a few minute up the road which was great and took the Jacobite cruise from the Clansman. I would recommend this accommodation and area to anyone.

We had a brilliant weekend staying at this beautiful cottage just outside Inverness to celebrate my partner’s birthday. From the moment we arrived, we were so impressed. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had plenty of space for the four of us to relax comfortably.
Everything has clearly been thought of. We were welcomed with a lovely breakfast basket, and it was a thoughtful touch to find eggs and butter ready in the fridge for us. It really made us feel at home straight away.
We especially loved how private and peaceful the cottage felt, it really made the weekend feel special. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus (once we got the hang of it!), and it felt magical sitting in it while the snow started to fall around us. Such a memorable experience.
The location is perfect too, with lots of places of interest nearby to explore during the day, while still feeling like a quiet retreat when you return.
We’d absolutely love to come back in the summer to make even more use of the outdoor space and BBQ area. A wonderful stay from start to finish — highly recommended!

The Garden House was beautiful. The host was great with her detailed directions, thank goodness considering we arrived in the dark
