Wonderful highland family adventure
The Cottage and location far exceeded our expectations. Our time at Brachkashie was just perfect for what our family wanted from our holiday. A mixture of relaxation, long walks and messing about on the loch. Then on the days that we managed to drag ourselves away from the cottage, it was the perfect base to explore what the highlands had to offer. We would certainly come back and stay again. Thanks Catherine and George for helping when needed. Best regards Colin, Nicky & Boys

Charming interior with stunning lake view!
Well equipped cottage with comfy beds, very quiet surroundings, good wifi, stunning view of the lake from terrace. The only thing that took a bit of getting used to is the distance to a supermarket. So one has to plan in advance the grocery shopping (luckily there are two fridges you can fill). But we were really positively surprised how much both kids and parents loved this cottage. We definitely recommend a stay in this small cottage.

A piece of paradise in a loch
Tranquil cottage right on a loch. Simply breathtaking beauty as you open the door. Brachkashie cottage is so welcoming. The beds are comfortable with the loveliest soft sheets and thick feather duvets. There are even sheepskin rugs for when you get out of bed, stylish hot water bottles for cold nights and a wonderful fireplace with wood supplied. Bathrooms include a bath and shower - which worked well for our family as some like to relax in a bath while others prefer to shower. The jetty onto the loch was a very special feature and my family enjoyed rowing the little boat to the island. Absolute heaven .

Excellent property, location was amazing
As a family living in London we've been to many rental cottages over the years and this is by far the best. The location is amazing, the house was fully equipped and the owners were available immediately for help. We had the best family New Year ever - the boat trip up Loch Ness was a dream.

Wonderful!
Everything about the property was wonderful. We all especially enjoyed the view and the cottage was clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. The lambs playing in the back garden was a unexpected bonus! Hope to be back soon.

A Small Piece of Paradise In The Highlands!
We had a wonderful stay at Brachkashie. The cottage and setting are absolutely stunning and the location towards the southern end of Loch Ness provides the perfect base to explore the Highlands. There was so much to do as a family, fantastic walks, fishing, boating and sightseeing. Thank you for a memorable stay, we hope and look forward to returning one day soon.

Gorgeous cottage
We had a great week in this gorgeous cottage. The setting is amazing right on Loch Knockie and we made good use of the rowing boat and canoe as well as our own paddle boards. The kids loved it! The cottage is beautifully decorated and kitted out and spotlessly clean. Amazing place. We would love to come back.

A week on the Loch
We had a great stay at the cottage, it was very peaceful, comfortable and surprisingly spacious. We enjoyed playing games, boating and sitting beside the log fire. We saw all kinds of wildlife and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. We had a good time watching the boats going through the locks at Fort Augustus whilst eating ice cream. The falls of Foyers were worth a quick trip, but most of all spending time beside and on the loch was a real privilege.

Home from home
Brachkashie Cottage is in an idllic setting and the interior design is superb. When we holiday we seek properties that give a feeling of “ home from home” and Brachkashie Cottage certainly delivers in this respect. It’s a property we would have no hesitation in recommending. ( we have already shared details with many fiends who thought it great but unfortunately they have had to discount it due to the no dogs policy)
