About this house rental

Sealladh an Loch is located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, right next door to the historic and infamous Boleskine House. In a conservation area, surrounded by fields, forests & mountains and overlooking the iconic Loch Ness, it offers pure peace and tranquility.

The house is built into the side of the mountain, with a huge glazed frontage looking onto Loch Ness and its back-drop of mountains. It surrounded by pasture in which sheep are often grazing – in spring you can watch out for new-born lambs. There are forests on all sides. It feels wonderfully rural, and yet the village of Foyers is within easy reach, with a village shop, post office & cafe, a pub and the famous ‘Falls of Foyers.’
There are several way-marked local woodland walks around the house, and wildlife including deer, red squirrels, pine martens and birds of prey. You can reach the shores of Loch Ness by walking down through the forest across the road.

You approach the house via a steep driveway and enter the house at the rear. With an impressive glazed frontage, the focus of the house is on light and space, with several communal spaces offering flexibility for guests:-

The snooker hall with its full-sized snooker table, is the hub of the house. Italian leather sofas and a whiskey-barrel bar table and stools offer relaxed seating for spectators.

The vaulted galleried landing overlooks the snooker table and offers further seating space – the ideal space to sit with a glass, watching the sunset over the Loch. Large, glazed windows to the front overlook Loch Ness, and double doors provide access onto a balcony. We are incredibly proud to display a selection of stunning red squirrel photographs taken by a local wildlife photographer.

The kitchen is of high quality, and finished with granite work tops. It is well equipped with a 6-hob, double-oven range cooker, microwave, large fridge/freezer, separate drinks fridge and dishwasher. A Zip Tap provides instant boiling and chilled water – no need for boiling kettles for those endless cups of tea. We have recently added an additional run of units and a drinks fridge, so there is plenty of cupboard space, kitchen equipment and crockery/cutlery.

The solid oak dining table seats 12. A highchair is available for young guests.

The garden room has views of Loch Ness to the front, fields to the side, and mountains and forests to the rear. It is the perfect place for that early morning cup of tea.

The snug, with log-burning stove offers a cosy space, ideal for evenings playing games or watching films.

There is bedroom accommodation for up to 12 adults:-

The 3 double bedrooms are all en-suite, with a double bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside cabinets and a chair.

There are 3 twin bedrooms. The large twin room has two single beds, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside cabinets and a chair. The small twin room has two single beds, chest of drawers, a shared bedside cabinet, chair and table. Both twin rooms are served by a large family bathroom.

The third twin room is located on the ground floor and has an en-suite, ideal for elderly or less able guests. It has two single beds, chest of drawers, dressing table and a chair.

In addition, a cot is available for very young guests. This can be located in any room in the house, on request.

The decor throughout is simple, with carefully selected accessories to add touches of luxury and to give a Scottish feel – Egyptian cotton bedding, fluffy towels, ‘Harris Tweed’ curtains & throws, rugs & cushions from ‘Skyeskyns,’ whisky-barrel furniture from ‘Darach,’ and complimentary hand-soap from ‘Highland Soaps.’ Our artwork is Scottish – many pieces are by local artists.

Wireless Broadband internet access is available throughout the house free of charge.

Outside space is provided by a first floor balcony accessed from the gallery, a front deck accessed from the snooker hall, and a large patio at the rear for barbecues. There are also gardens, which are kept as natural as possible, with a path up to a viewing point and bench at the rear of the property.

We had a lovely week staying at this property which was spacious and very clean. It was very well equipped in the kitchen with plenty of crockery and cutlery. Also had a very swish hot/cold tap. Nice patio area with a couple of Bbqs. Lots of instructions left to help and there recommendations for places to visit, which was useful. Would be very happy to holiday here again.

The house is beautiful and clean! We were welcomed to home made bread and fresh flowers in the kitchen. The property is peaceful and sits right above the Loch Ness. Only minutes away from Dores with a small conveniance store and a number of magical hiking/walking trails. Everything we could have asked for and more. the Loch Ness

We had a lovely time celebrating my 60th with our children and grandchildren, the only down side was the amount of flies that flew in when we opened the windows ( maybe let ppl know that when staying at this time of year about the cluster of flies as we had to spray the room and use hoover there was so many ) and the only other small down side was that when we made dinner on the Sunday ( as we just wanted to chill for last day ) the weren’t enough big pots but as i say that was all maybe leave extra towels , we were lucky the weather was amazing and were able to use the machine and get them out but we had a lovely family time there 😊

This house is the perfect house for a group that wants to eat together, using the big dining table, and at the same time appreciates the possibility to do something on one's own, in one of the different rooms or corners of the house. The house is very well equipped, we enjoyed the tastefulness of almost everything, chosen with love and care, and a practical mind. We fully recommend this house, one cannot be disappointed by it. Be aware beforehand that Loch Ness can hardly been seen from the house, one needs to climb a bit to see the beauty of it.

The home was exactly as advertised. Clean, modern, well-stocked, and a great tranquil location not far from Inverness. Perfect for our group of friends. Lorna the housekeeper was the primary contact, and was responsive and very helpful when our arrival was delayed due to airline issues. Would definitely stay again!

Our experience at the Sealladh An Loch house was outstanding. The location was excellent with views of Loch Ness, lovely scenery. We enjoyed sitting outside with listening to the birds in the evening. Our large group of 11 had plenty of space including 4 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The house has lots of sitting areas inside and out both upstairs and downstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and included a charcoal grill on the patio. We enjoyed playing games on the snooker table also. The house was spotlessly clean. The host and housekeeper were responsive to our questions. We also appreciated the recommendations and pamphlets the host provided for suggestions to see in the area. Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend staying here.
