The location and views of the castle were spectacular! The house was clean and neat and had many nice amenities like a wood stove and beautiful back porch. We met Simon, one of the hosts, who was very friendly and willing to point out the local sights and walks.
We had trouble getting the back door to lock, but we only mentioned it during check out so Simon offered to fix it after we left.

If I could give it 11 I would. Exceptional property of a high standard. Very helpful owners who live next door. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped & comfortable. Loved our stay which was a shame that we were only a one night stay. Would have liked to stay longer but our schedule did not permit that this time.
No, nothing..just first rate.

Highlight of Our Ireland-Scotland Trip
Our stay on Loch Ness was a highlight of our Ireland and Scotland adventure. The house was cozy, spotless, and perfectly located for exploring the Highlands. We loved visiting Urquhart Castle, surrounding areas, and grabbing a bite in Drumnadrochit. The views were stunning, and the hosts were fantastic. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a peaceful and scenic escape!

the view of loch ness was great. It was nice to walk to the urqurhart castle but a bit far to walk to town although do-able. we really enjoyed relaxing and the ability to make breakfast in the well stocked kitchen. Simon was great and greeeted us and even suggested a few activities.
would have loved a few more nearby food options (although that isn't the properties fault)

Beautiful Croft, great facilities, adorable bedroom and upstairs living/dining room overlooking the loch with garden patio too! Loved being able to walk into town and down to the beach!
We have zero complaints!

Beautiful views of Loch Ness from the living room windows. If the sun appears the decking area gets the sun almost all day.

We could not fault the accommodation .
It is very comfortable and cosy and it feels as if you are completely at home.
The location is very picturesque .Near Urquhart Castle.
It is self catering and supplies are available at the local Co-Op.
Would not hesitate to stay again.
You have to be prepared to walk 2 miles into Drumnadrochit if you've no car but there is a local taxi driver who will transport you back to the house.
This is especially important if you've been walking the Great Glen Way.

The photos to this property do not do it justice it just blows your mind when you are there in person
Absolutely beautiful croft and the views from all angles are amazing 🤩
It has been a dream to come to loch Ness since I was 4 so for my expections to have been absolutely blown out the water just makes me beyond happy.
I loved how close we were to the loch Ness.
Annie and Simon were amazing at helping with the best places for food where to go and what to do.
I shed a tear coming home because it has been the most perfect weekend I could ever of imagined.
I will 100% be going back even if it was a 6 hour drive it was worth every minute.

The Croft seems much bigger than the photos suggest. It was a superb base for us to go walking in the local area. The bath and shower were both amazing, and a real treat. The kitchen had everything we needed. The view is lovely too and Simon and Annie were really helpfully. Cannot wait to visit again!
Nothing at all

The location was so great. The grounds were lovely. Owners were great. Let us get on but offered great places to visit.
There was nothing we didn't liked. The internet speeds are very slow. Don't expect to be watching Netflix or YouTube however it was lovely reconnecting with the family.

Thank you for our gorgeous stay!!!
I would highly recommend Urquhart Bay Croft, myself and my partner were made to feel very comfortable
and found the property and our stay to be exceptional. We would love to return and have spoken highly of our stay to our families.
Fantastic communication and very helpful and accommodating hosts. Big thank you to Annie and Simon for allowing us to check in late following our long journey and visit to Loch Lomond shores.
As we had arrived late we were greeted with a warm welcome the next morning and provided with some great recommendations for our trip. Simon kindly provided us with some milk for our morning brew as we hadn’t had chance to locate the nearest shop.
Great location, we found the property to be a great hub for visiting surrounding lakes and falls such as Rogie falls which we loved!!! Our motto through our stay was ‘so much to see so little time’.
The Croft itself sits just above Lochness and is a convenient 4 minute drive or 30 min walk to nearby village with co-op and a few restaurants and coffee shops (Closed unfortunately during our stay due to unforeseen circumstances relating to COVID). This however did not adversely affect our stay as we were situated 30 minutes drive/ bus away from Inverness. We also got to take advantage of the fabulous kitchen.
The toaster was somewhat unpredictable, sorry we set the alarm off! How could we complain. The property was practically perfect in every way.
