Activities
There is lots to do and see in the local area including the most famous loch in the world, Loch Ness!
The charming village of Fort Augustus is just 8 miles away and is worth a visit. The main attraction is watching the boats come through Locks on the Caledonian Canal before entering Loch Ness. There are several pubs and places to eat including the The Lovat Arms Hotel.
Closeby in the small hamlet of Whitebridge, just 2.5 miles, the Whitebridge Hotel offers very good bar meals and has a good atmosphere. A good place to meet some of the locals! The Dores Inn, which is situated at Dores, provides very good meals and is situated right on the shores of Loch Ness, on the way to Inverness.
There are wonderful walks nearby and Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Scotland is only 45 minutes drive away at Fort William, along with a number of other accessible munros. Take a drive along the Great Glen passing by Loch Oich and Loch Lochy to Loch Linnhe where it enters the sea on the west coast, is worth a trip.

Testimonials
This is a very comfortable, well equipped, stylish cottage in a secluded and peaceful location. The setting is glorious, the views spectacular and the cottage is always warm and snug thanks to a very efficient wood burner. A perfect place to enjoy a break in the highlands. On site boating and trout fishing are an added bonus.

To sit at breakfast and dinner overlooking a beautiful scenic loch on which we had paddled on was just amazing. Beautifully clean comfortable beds and attentive hosts. Great place to stay and good position to explore the area.

We enjoyed a wonderful week in this beautiful home. The setting is perfect to rest and restore and also to explore the beautiful highlands of Scotland. The cottage provided everything we needed, to a very high standard. We enjoyed many walks and visited a few of the recommendations made to us. We cannot recommend New Brachkashie cottage highly enough ..and still miss that perfect view each morning…
Chris Mills
We loved our week at New Brachkashie Cottage - what a beautiful and peaceful location. A great base for exploring the region - we did some hiking, cycling and kayaking. Paddling on Loch Knockie when it was calm and quiet was just perfect. Would definitely recommend this lovely cottage for a great getaway.
Sheen Smith
Such a beautifully furnished cottage in the most idyllic location. Fishing (or trying to!) on the Loch has been our highlight. It’s so peaceful and quiet - would love to return.
