We spent a wonderful week at Dhivach Lodge with family, and it exceeded all our expectations. The cottage is fantastic and a true nature lover's dream. During our stay, we regularly saw red squirrels, badgers, pine martens, roe deer, woodpeckers, and many other forms of wildlife right on the doorstep.

The beautiful waterfall is only a short walk away, and the cottage is well equipped with everything you could need. A nearby village provides convenient shopping, while there are plenty of local destinations for hiking and exploring. For those interested in history and sightseeing, Loch Ness is just down the road. We all wished we could have stayed longer and were genuinely sad to leave. We would happily return in the future. Hide

This is a truly magical place. It is a home, not a hotel in light disguise, with memorable, profound beauty leavened by occasional eccentricity. The lodge has been modernized to make it properly comfortable, with central heating and good bathrooms, but if youre expecting California King beds, you will find traditional Scottish doubles - and as the Read morelow lintels on the doors prove, the Scots were rarely tall in the 1860s.

What a great time we had! All made that bit better with the comforts of the well equipped Divach Lodge. A great location well out of the way of major traffic and noise. We would certainly look to hire again.
