Information about the host

We are a Highland family run B&B situated back on the rolling hill tops of Loch ness. Our home offers you a relaxed rural experience within a five minute drive to Loch Ness and 15 minutes to Inverness. We are overlooking a little lochan ourself but also only a 10 minutes drive to the beautiful Loch Ruthven which is a bird reserve. Ach-Na-Sidhe gaelic means "Field of the hilltop faries" and was origanally a drovers field for keeping their animals safe while they rested on their journey to Inverness. Please feel free to bring your favorite evening tipple, other drinks and snacks, we will provide the bottle opener. We offer you a lounge, (with a wood burning stove for the colder evenings) to use, so sit down and put your feet up.
