“Fantastic place to stay.”

Views from the veranda were brilliant, the upside down layout works great and the sauna was an added bonus, so relaxing. Nothing too much trouble for the owners who made us feel very welcome.

“This is such a comfortable and relaxing property.”

The views are amazing and we really liked the layout of the rooms. The sauna was great after a days walking too! It’s a great base to enjoy the stunning highlands. We loved our stay - thank you

“Clean comfortable.”

Disappointed no chairs on balcony upstairs as shown in listing. Outside area around property was smaller than the photos and a high hedge immediately in front of the seating area which was reached through downstairs bedroom so no view. Need a car as nearest town a few miles away. Views from upstairs were amazing. Warm and nice to get back to after day out.

“Glenview Lodge is simply stunning, set in a beuatiful location with a fantastic view!”

The property is very well equipped, nicely finished with very comfortable beds. The owners live nearby and are very nice, helpful people. we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and will be back!

“We had a lovely time at Glen View Lodge and would highly recommend the place.”

Amazing views, peaceful surroundings and beautiful nature all around was just what we came here for. The property itself was fully equipped and offered a good quality comfort and plenty of space to enjoy meals together, lounge and relax at the end of a busy day. Sauna was a treat and additional bonus and offered a great way to relieve those aches and pains after long walks. We will definitely come again. The only downside was that we were expecting an enclosed garden as per description but it was open to the driveway and neighbouring property which meant we didn't feel safe to let our dog off the lead.

“Lovely property, this was our second visit.”

Lovely views from the balcony. Kitchen and living room upstairs, views are spectacular, all bedrooms downstairs. Bottle of wine, various biscuits and tea bags provided. Nice walks nearby with fabulous views of the loch, although maybe challenging to some, very steep hill. Nearby town of Drumnadrochit has some nice shops, local market and good restaurants. Good base to visit Dores, Caledonian Canal and other tourist spots.

“Very warm, welcoming and comfortable house equipped with everything you’d need.”

Great quiet location central to the stunning Western Highlands and the dolphins in Cromarty. Good shops, supermarket and take away options in town, 5 minutes away. Pleasantly surprised to see Red Squirrels and Red Kites literally on the doorstep too.

“We have just spent a lovely fortnight at Glen View Lodge.”

What an amazing place! Spacious, beautifully furnished (and with all the bathrooms a person could ever want!). The hosts, Chris and Alex, were both delightful and friendly, and always very helpful with any queries we had. It was a real treat staying in such a luxurious house, and our two kids particularly enjoyed using the water cooler in the hall! Thank you for a lovely holiday.

“We have had a lovely time in Glen View Lodge.”

The weather was great. The views even better if there was no fog/mist. We had our own buzzard flying in front. Made some tours in the area. Ullapool, Skye, Buckie/Portgordon for a lot of seals.

“Spent two weeks at Glen View Lodge 8th - 22nd September 2018.”

Glen View Lodge is spotlessly clean throughout and very, very comfortable. The Lodge was cosy, hardly required the heating on at all as it really retains the heat. The view from the Livingroom especially was simply amazing - always something different to see. The Owners Alex and Chris were most friendly and couldn't have been more helpful - many thanks!! Would highly recommend a holiday in this beautiful lodge which is situated in a very stunning part of the Highlands of Scotland. We were very sad to leave. Kind Regards, Amanda & David xXx

“We wanted you to know how much we enjoyed Glenview Lodge.”

It is beautifully appointed and wonderfully comfortable. The views down to Drumnadrochit remind us of some of the Alpine chalets we have stayed in, especially at night with the lights twinkling below. As you may know from our record this was our third stay with LHH this year and we have had fantastic visits on each occasion. Glenview Lodge is excellent in every way, and Christine, who greeted us, could not have been more helpful. Please pass on our grateful thanks to her and feel free to quote us if that is helpful. We will be back on to your website as soon as we see an opportunity in the diary. Each one of our short holidays has been wonderfully restorative!

“We enjoyed a week's stay at Glen View from 29 January.”

The high standard of accommodation was matched by the warm welcome from the owners. The house is very well appointed and spacious and a peaceful bolt hole for relaxing in comfort. The website photos of the great location and views speak for themselves. We found Glen View to be ideally located, a short drive from the attractions of Loch Ness, but also from stunning Glen Affric and historic Beauly to the North. We had the opportunity to revisit old haunts and discover new ones but it was lovely to return to Glen View each evening and thaw out in the sauna. Thank you so much for a fantastic week.

The property

A wonderfully luxurious house for 6 with amazing views and a sauna with its own shower room. The house has been built to command the best views of the stunning scenery, being located at a height of over 1000ft above sea level. The views from the house are breathtaking at all times of the year and the sitting room and master bedroom have been located to benefit most of all from this amazing location. In addition, the house being built of thermal blocks ensures that the heat retention is astonishing, providing a warm and cosy house throughout the entire year including the best winter months for skiing. The house is of an exceptionally high specification and incorporates oak flooring with underfloor heating, solar panels, a superb sauna and dedicated wet room, three well appointed bedrooms, each with their own bath/shower rooms, and a spacious sitting room with wood-burning stove, balcony and large screen TV. There is a separate quiet area for sitting and reading or WiFi access. The house is very spacious and beautifully appointed. The bathrooms are ultra modern with rain shower systems with dual shower heads in 3 of the bathrooms. The sauna has its own dedicated shower room close by. The main social rooms are all on the first floor to capture the finest views. Whatever the season the tremendous vista from the sitting room window is spellbinding and will ensure many hours gazing! A well-equipped contemporary dining kitchen is the perfect place for friends to share the cooking and enjoy dining at the lovely glass and oak dining table. This spacious and luxurious holiday home has panoramic views from its hill top location. Extensive views across the glen and the mountains beyond with snow capped mountains in winter. Beautifully appointed throughout and tastefully presented, it's hard to imagine wanting to leave in order to explore. However, there is so much to do and see from this base that you will have to try to pull yourself away from the luxurious comforts of Glen View Lodge and sample some of the attractions awaiting you. First of all, the vast opportunity to enjoy outdoor pursuits meets the needs of many, whether you want to walk, fish, mountain climb, ski, or sail. Alternatively, just enjoy touring this beautiful glen and sample some of the fine dining to be found in the surrounding villages and in Inverness. Loch Ness is just a 10 minute drive down the hill where you can visit the Loch Ness Monster Exhibition or Historic Scotland's Urquhart Castle with its award-winning exhibition and cafe. Inverness, capital of the north, is only 30 minutes drive and historic Beauly just 20 minutes drive. Head up the glen to Glen Affric - one of Scotland's most iconic glens and one of the last wilderness areas in Europe - fantastic for wildlife, walking or mountaineering. Alternatively go south to Fort Augustus then further on to Fort William. The choice is yours but on your return, Glen View will welcome you back for a relaxing evening in the sauna and deep sleep in comfy beds. EPC Rating: Band B

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
