CKD Galbraith Reay House 17 Old Edinburgh Road Inverness IV2 3HF 01463 224343 [email protected] GENERAL Loch Ness View Cottage is a modern single storey house in an outstanding location with superb views to Loch Ness. The property has been recently modernised and refurbished to create an extremely comfortable, well appointed and easily managed home designed to take full advantage of its stunning setting. Work carried out includes re-configuration of the interior, the addition of the balcony, creation of the open plan kitchen and sitting room, a new central heating system, new plumbing system and upgrading the electrics. Loch Ness View Cottage is currently a successful holiday let and is a versatile property offering accommodation suitable as both a family or second home with its easy access to Inverness and the popular tourist destinations of the Great Glen.

This region of Inverness-shire is famous for its association with Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle and is a well known tourist destination. However, just a short distance away from the popular centres, the beautiful countryside remains unspoilt and tranquil providing a haven for wildlife and excellent rural sporting opportunities. There are several golf courses nearby including the championship course at Castle Stuart and the Cairngorms National Park is just over an hour’s drive to the south where there is a wide choice for walking, mountaineering and skiing. For the water sports enthusiast, the marina at Inverness offers excellent facilities and the west coast can be reached in approximately 1½ hours from the property.

Inverness has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe. This prosperous and expanding city benefits from excellent communications and inward investment and yet, as the city has grown, it has lost none of its cultural identity which can be seen in its strong sense of community and thriving arts scene. The impressive new university campus lies on the eastern edge of the city.
