Brachkashie Cottage, Near Loch Ness, Inverness-shire, Scotland

Brachkashie Cottage sits on the shores of Loch Knockie in a beautiful setting with amazing views over the loch. The cottage has recently been completely refurbished to a very high standard and has its own jetty, rowing boat and fishing rights during the season so you can enjoy the loch fully. There is a lot 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 here including the The Lovat Arms Hotel.

Closeby in the small hamlet of Whitebridge, just 2.5 miles away, the Whitebridge Hotel offers very good bar meals and has a lovely atmosphere - a great place to meet some of the locals! The Dores Inn, which is situated at Dores, offers excellent cooking 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 - it's well worth a trip.

The west coast including the Isle of Skye, Plockton, Kyle of Lochalsh, Mallaig are all accessible by car and within 1.5 - 2 hours drive.

Wild brown trout fishing is available during the season (fly only) on Loch Knockie - the fishing is included in the rental. Stalking can be arranged on nearby estates and salmon fishing can be booked on the nearby River Findhorn, River Oich and River Ness. For golfers, Fort Augustus, just 8 miles away, has an 18 hole course which runs alongside the Caledonian Canal. The new and wonderful Championship links course of Castle Stuart is only an hour's drive from Brachkashie.
