About this cottage rental

This single-story secluded cottage provides the ultimate Highland hideaway. Sitting its own private glade in the middle of the woods this little gem was previously two estate worker cottages now renovated to provide a single 2 bedroom luxury getaway. The extensive fully fenced garden offers direct access to wonderful hill and forest walks up to the Great Glen Way and the wilderness of the Highlands and yet is only minutes from the amenities of Inverness and Loch Ness. Sit in the hot tub under the pagoda and enjoy the peace, tranquillity and clear air or cosy up in front of the log burner in the stylish sitting room.Setting

There is a soft seating and dining area on the little terrace or if you prefer something more rustic, a sunken fire pit area with log seating where you can warm up on a chilly night and tell tall stories. Up a little path set into your own private little hillside is the hot tub under its lit pagoda where you can relax and take a deep breath.

Your accommodation

The cosy sitting room has a wood burning stove, books, games and TV with Freeview, Netflix, Amazon Prime apps etc. It also has beautiful views on both sides of the room and provides the perfect retreat when you want a change from the great outdoors.

The extensive kitchen/diner is fully equipped with an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, induction hob, electric oven and every amenity you could wish for. The dining area has a table with seating for up to 5 and has an electric wood-burner and a sound docking system.

There is a separate utility room complete with integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, outdoor equipment and plenty of storage.

Two super comfortable bedrooms with king-size beds have French windows and direct access into the garden. On request, one of the beds can be divided into two singles.

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

By request we can also provide a cot.

There are two bathrooms; a large shower room and one large bathroom with a beautiful view to the hills.

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.

We loved this 5 star cottage! Very well furnished, kitchen well stocked, clean and comfortable. The setting is perfect too, surrounded by trees, fields and quietness apart from the birds singing. We loved sitting in the hot tub looking at the view and then snuggling in the lounge watching tv. The bed was comfortable and we slept really well. We drove around Loch Ness stopping off at various places such as the Fiddlers Highland restaurant for lunch. We also ate at IV10 which was great. One morning we woke up to see about 20 deer in the field behind the cottage before they ran off into the woods. We would definitely recommend Upper Dunain and would love to return.

The cottage was lovely and the grounds were beautiful. The host was amazing and helped us after we arrived there to find no power at the home, due to a storm that had passed through earlier in the day. Luckily she was able to move us to another place for the night.

We had a fantastic stay in Upper Dunain Cottage. The cottage was beautiful, clean and very well equipped. The large utility room and luxurious bathrooms were very much appreciated. The location couldn’t be better- only minutes away from Inverness centre by car yet set in the most beautiful, secluded spot. Mile after mile of forest track accessible straight from the garden. Beautiful, well landscaped grounds including seating areas, fire pit and hot tub. Outdoor fairy lights were a nice touch. Thank you, we had a wonderful time

When I arrived, I thought I was in the shire and that Gandalf the Grey would appear at any moment. And that's just the vibe. Beautifully appointed, clean, instructions for everything needed in the home. Traveling from abroad with no experience in this area, we found the home easily, payment process was secure and fairly priced, and our stay albeit brief was wonderful! Would absolutely return. Thank you, Dochfour Estates!

The cottage was idyllic in a perfect location and so peaceful. Beautiful garden and the house was gorgeous. The only issue i had was with the sofa in the living room, being disabled i chose the cottage because it was accessible which it was apart from the sofa which eas so lowndown i was unable to get out ofbit without help and it was extremely uncomfortable for mento sit on. The outdoor seating was the same and i was unable to sit outside as i could not get in and out of the chair which was a shame as the garden was stunning. I would definitely recommend it but maybe not ideal for anyone suffering with arthritis.

We picked the Cottage in Upper Dunain based on its pictures and description, and it exceeded our expectations! The property owner has thought of everything to make for a comfortable stay. We cooked wonderful meals together in the well-equipped kitchen, took the picnic bag and swimming towels out on excursions, and enjoyed our time together in all the cottage spaces. Highly recommend this property, and would stay there again any time!
