Chalet holiday rentals in Caledonian Canal

Susan’s lodge was a joy to stay in. We wanted a base near Inverness to do a lot of walking in the highlands, but that was comfortable to come back to at the end of the day. When we arrived, we were surprised as it seemed a larger than the pictures. It was the most well appointed airbnb we have ever stayed in. Excellent knives, 4 slice toaster, decent sized teapot and cafetiere, washing machine, even a freezer. It was lovely to wake up right next to the fields, and also a lovely spot in the evening outside, watching the swallows, swifts and chaffinches flit around and the rabbits on the grass with a glass of wine. Susan was very clear and specific in her communications, and looked after us very well. We were blessed with excellent weather, but if it had been a worse, we would have enjoyed some lowland walking, trips to Inverness and time inside the lodge. Definite book again when next in the area, so long as Susan has space!

The cabin was very cozy. Even though it rained on the second day we arrived, it didn’t affect our stay at all. Morag was so warm and welcoming! The location of the house is great—it’s convenient to get everywhere. There’s also a fantastic forest park just a five-minute drive away, which we loved hiking in. One thing to note is that Morag’s house is near the end of the road. When you see a long wooden fence and a large green lawn, you still need to drive for about another minute. Overall, we really loved it here and will definitely come again!

Great stay at Garfield Studio! Loved the exercise walking up the “stairs”(or the easier route along the road) from town! Marion was very helpful with suggestions of things to do and brought us a wee dram of whisky when we arrived and the evening before we left! There was also coffee, tea, jam, biscuits and butter which was a great welcome surprise. Cottage was very very comfortable and warm. (There is also a fire for colder evenings). Shower was great, bed was very comfy and cottage spacious! Marion is very responsive to messages and a great host.

Richard's place is just perfect for a break in the beautiful setting of Aviemore. The site is very well maintained and the property has wonderful views and everything that you would need for a self catering break. There is lots to do in the surrounding area and the shops, bars and eating places are within easy walking distance.

Great accomodation and location

We had a great stay at Iain’s charming cabin, he provided clear instructions before arrival for check in and some additional directions to find the place. When we arrived the cabin was very clean with all listed amenities available and everything topped up such as fire wood. Half way through our stay there was an electrical issue in the area which caused a power outage. Iain was quick to respond and try his best to get everything going again, when it became apparent this wouldn’t be until the following day he booked alternative accommodation for us and then welcomed us back into the cabin the following day. These things can’t be helped but Iain dealt with the situation in the best way possible which is all you can ask for. Once the fire is roaring the cabin becomes so cosy and a perfect place to return back to after exploring the Scottish countryside. Coupled with a comfy bed and an amazing view to wake up to you really can’t go wrong with a relaxing getaway here!

The lodge is very cosy and perfect for a getaway from the city. The location is perfect and near tourist spots. The lodge came with all the amenities required for our stay. The hosts Ros and Ash were very responsive and welcoming, which made our stay even better. Definitely recommend.

Such a peaceful place to stay… open, warm, quiet, and welcoming. Home has so much to feel like your at your own family vacation home—good cooking facilities/tools, games for all kinds of kids, open space to be in the home, beautiful open grounds, very good linens and comfortable beds. Jenny and Seb are very welcoming, friendly, responsive, and kind hosts, genuine people who care about providing a great retreat space. Highly recommend, but only to the most kind hearted people who will enjoy such pleasures!

We had a wonderful short break at Cameron and Lucy's estate. The house itself was utterly beautiful, very stylish, and everything has been thought of, and it's got huge amounts of space for everyone to find a quiet corner and enjoy the spectacular views. The beds are very comfortable and the whole house works really well. There are a number of self catering chalets on the estate with a range of prices and styles, so if you're looking for somewhere for groups of family or friends, then this is a perfect option. One tiny detail is that there is an additional charge to bring dogs, so if you're planning to do so, it's worth contacting the estate first to find out the charges for it - it's not shown on this site, but don't let that put you off! We all had a great time, and hope to visit again soon. Thank you both

first time been to this area, the view was stunning, hot tub clean and hot, lodge was cosy and the adjoining hotel was the icing on the cake with excellent staff and service - where we had a great evening meal and a few pints overlooking the loch.

Brilliant

The lodge is truly special both inside and out in the most stunning location. Great experience all round.

Karen’s Airbnb was modern, spotless, stylish and literally the most well-provisioned AirBnb I have ever stayed at. Dyson hairdryers in both main suites, every kitchen appliance you could imagine (why of course there’s an ice cream maker!) and then some you didn’t know existed like a hot chocolate maker as well. She was so kind and helpful despite our last-minute reservation in mid-week November happening at the same time as some significant personal events as well. Wonderful, kind, stylish host with a beautiful first class house.

The lodge on the loch was breathtaking, from the sights on the water to the mountains in the distance. Our lodge had a perfect view of the sunset over the mountains. The hot tub was clean and great for relaxation as we watched the sun slowly settle below the horizon of the mountainscape. Smoking is not permitted in the lodge but is allowed on the back porch overlooking the loch. The staff were very helpful and ready to assist with any requests. We were allowed an additional hour for check out. The lodge did not have any napkins or paper towels so be sure to bring your own; but it was well equipped with cooking and drinking necessities and a dishwasher. The lodge was clean and comfortable with a flat screen tv and 2 leather couches adding comfort from inside. The midges come out at sundown so be aware that they can become troublesome. Bring bug repellent and plenty of sunblock. The rooms can get warm on hot days. Our stay was incredible and a great experience.

We enjoyed a lovely day in Kentallen. The view and landscape is beautiful and after a long hike we enjoyed the hot tub. The lodge is as described and very well equiped. We surely will come back.

Great stay at Silverwood, Really nice clean lodge in a peaceful location.

Cameron on site was excellent. He had great local recommendations. The house was fantastic with a lovely view of the Loch. Cute on site visitors center with snacks, food, and drinks for sale. Portnellian was such a great estate.

Had a wonderful stay in a stunning location. The caravan was immaculately clean and well equipped. Thank you for having us.

We all had a wonderful stay in Elk Lodge. It was quiet, peaceful and comfortable. The lodge was exactly as described and we had plenty of room and privacy with the en-suite bedrooms. The kitchen was very well equipped with high end appliances. We would definitely consider another stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

This is our third time staying at the Gun Club. We love the location in beautiful, peaceful surroundings and with a large, secure, enclosed area for dogs. The place is always clean and tidy and we can just turn up and set up home for a week. There is plenty of space for everything and the facilities are just what we need. We look forward to coming back time and time again!

Very helpful and responsive host. The area is beautiful with a lot of opportunities for outdoor adventures!

W had a fantastic time at The Lochan . Carlo is an amazing host and the place is just BEAUTIFUL. We annoyed the outside fireplace and the great kitchen a lot. Would absolutely come back and recommend it to everyone. Thank you Carlo

Tulloch Farm is the perfect location to explore Lochaber and the Cairgorms with easy access to all the main roads. It is so peaceful on the farm. There are well laid out walks and paths around the farm and by the river which were perfect for us. We were so fortunate with the weather during our stay, but the cottage itself is cosy and warm with lots of games and books. Our children especially loved the well kitted games room onsite. Excellent recycling facilities too. We throughly recommend the Retreat at Tulloch Farm.

A relaxing stay with stunning loch views and a cozy atmosphere. Hosts Osh and Ash are welcoming and thoughtful. There are horse on the grounds which added to the charm of the property.
