About this property

Luxury Croft over looking Loch Ness & Urquhart Bay. Loch Views.

Urquhart Bay Croft is a brand new luxury self-catered renovation with beautiful views across Loch Ness and Glen Urquhart.

Downstairs it has a double height entrance hallway, one king-size bedroom, and separate family bathroom, while upstairs it boasts a fully equipped open plan kitchen/dining area, lounge with comfy sofa and free standing log burner, and double doors opening to decked area and the wider south facing garden.
We are Simon and Annie Greenlay. We first saw Urquhart Bay cottage in 2014 and fell in love with it. We have run Urquhart Bay BnB for 2yrs(see our other listings for reviews). We knew immediately that we wanted to live in this peaceful place with its one-of-a-kind views over Loch Ness.

The Croft is our latest project that we have put our heart and soul into, and look forward to sharing it with our guests.

The Croft is ideally situated close to the beautiful Highland village of Drumnadrochit, and is only a 2 minute walk from the iconic Urquhart Castle. It sits in extensive private gardens to explore offering stunning views of Loch Ness and Glen Urquhart.

Downstairs, there is a large kingsize bedroom with original bothy window offering views from the bed across the loch, and a separate luxury bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower with rain head. Upstairs, there is a large open plan kitchen/diner and lounge with free standing log burner, that also has a pull out sofa bed for children. We have worked with local craftsmen to restore and enhance the original building, so that you are never far from a view of the Loch(even from your bed!), and couldn’t be closer to the iconic Urquhart Castle, just a few minutes’ walk away.

For the cosier evenings we have a large log burner, SMART TV and high speed WiFi available throughout.

The Croft is furnished to a very high standard, with many items hand crafted and knitted. Guests can expect high quality toiletries, Egyptian cotton linen throughout, and we are happy to provide fresh eggs from our free range highland hens.

The Croft is a great base to explore the highlands, and there are many walking routes directly from the doorstep to explore the local views across the iconic Loch, or bump into some of the local wildlife such as many local deer or birds of prey who live near the Loch.

We have plenty of parking available and are a short walk from the local village of Drumnadrochit.

Incredible Croft
We had a wonderful 2 night stay at this incredible Croft , I only wish it could have been longer. Everything is extremely well appointed. The space is well set out and has a welcoming feeling. The bed is comfortable and you’ll have a great night sleep and wake up to the most lovely view of Loch Ness from your window. Actually there is a view of the Loch from every window. There is a trail that runs up hill at the back of the property which gives you an amazing aerial view of Urquart Castle. Unfortunately this croft would not be suitable if you have mobility issues due to the internal stair case. The only other thing that wouldn’t go astray is a small washing machine just when you have been on the road for a while. You will love this place. Thank you Simon for being a gracious host.

Outstanding
Absolutely amazing views of the loch. Private and quiet. Everything we needed was there with local shops with easy parking. We will definitely be returning, as its easy to get to places around the loch.

Lovely Croft Stay
We had a lovely stay at this croft loctaed right off Loch Ness. It was well appointed and the host made sure we were comfortable for the entire stay. The croft is located within 30 mins of many of the major attractions in the Inverness area. We couldn't have asked for a better view of Loch Ness having our breakfast every morning!

Wonderful
We had a wonderful week in this cute and beautiful Croft. Everything you need, was there and the sourroundings were simply amazing. Simon gave us some recommendations for possible trips which we all did. Especially the Isle of Skye and the Plodda Falls are worth it. The Croft is a house where you can totally relax after a long day of hiking. We were sad when the time of saying goodbye had come.
