Upper Dunain - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
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.

Wonderful Stay
Very beautiful location! The ONLY challenge was finding it the first time. The Upper Dunain sign by the highway is small and in a shady spot. The owner was very helpful once we settled in. Great cottage! Wish we'd stayed longer!

The house was immaculate, clean and very comfy with great facilities. It was located in a rural area that felt remote and peaceful but was still just a short drive from shops, Inverness and a great base to see more of Scotland. Garden was safely enclosed for our wee dog to explore and right outside the back gate was a beautiful woodland trail where we saw lots of nature. The hot tub was especially welcome and so relaxing along with the fire in the living room that lasted for ages and kept the room cosy. Good shower, coffee machine and beds. Overall a wonderful place for a break.
