About this cottage rental
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.

This place is a must stay if you’re looking for a place with fantastic views, a cozy and welcoming feel. It’s nice a serene to wake up and see the views. Simon was the best host and was able to tell me about the different trails around the area for gorgeous hikes if you are into that. Urquhart Castle is just around the corner and town is just a mile walk away! I wish I could have spent more time here.

My partner and I had a wonderful time at the Croft, the place is beautifully situated, easy to find , very well presented and looked after. After a warm and friendly welcome from Simon we both immediately felt relaxed and were impressed with how much was provided. The property was so comfortable and even in the winter time there was plenty to see and do nearby.I can't reccomend this place enough, easily one of the best get aways I've had.
