Cottage holiday rentals in Caledonian Canal

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

We had a great stay in this beautiful house. Super easy to find an ideal location for peaceful weekend and only short drive to local attractions. Great safe enclosed garden for the dogs and lovely walks from the front door. Hot tub and sauna were a fantastic addition, loved the Aga too.

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

Dina was great. She was away while we visited but was still helpful and responsive from Australia. Beautiful peaceful little home with views of the pasture, cows, and rabbits from the hot tub area.

Amazing stay! The cottage was very cosy, looked like the photos and we felt right at home. Loved having the wood burner in the evenings while having dinner and chatting the night away!

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

Lovely place , super clean with everything you would ever need for a short/long stay .super responsive when messaged too ! What a great place ! Only issue is parking on and off the drive can be super tight due to the neighbours parking outside the drive other than that what a place !

Hi Anna , we have had a great time at your hide away cosy cottage whilst also going out and exploring what the area near and afar has to offer. We travelled from near Oban for our first week when we went to the Isle of Mull and then this week we did make time to visit the Isle of Skye which was spectacular. We live in mid Wales so use to the unpredictable weather but on the whole it’s been good to us . Great place to base ourselves from . The wildlife in the garden have been great to see as well and the dogs have loved it . Thank you .

I loved my short stay at Otter Cottage. The location is just beautiful and felt tranquil. The cottage is very well-equipped and comfortable but also avoids unnecessary clutter so feels spacious inside. The big windows looking out over the canal & Beauly Firth were a joy. Helen was friendly and prompt in her replies to messages and, although there was no need for us to meet, I felt welcomed by the thoughtful touches which greeted me at the property. I definitely hope to return. Thank you, Helen!

The studio was perfect for a short relaxing break, very comfortable and homely in a beautiful location. The weather turned out better than forecast which was a bonus to take in some lovely walks in Glen Affric, as well as the regular local market.

this wee cottage is a hidden gem. the back garden views are just unreal, i couldve sat out there all day! jill was so lovely and responsive when we had a quick question, it was no issue for her. we wish we had longer there to enjoy the lovely space and surroundings, hoping to be back one day!

Beautiful little cottage has everything you need to feel right at home. It has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. The bedroom is relaxing and bed is very comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. Chris and janet have put lots of local information in the cottage to help make the most of your stay. Only draw back is there is no shop in fortingall, so your nearest shop is in Aberfeldy 7miles away ( not a big deal for us as we were out most of the day). We would highly recommend a visit to the owl house. Many thanks for hosting us. We might see you again when we come back to climb meall nan tarmachan at some point x

Lovely place with gorgeous view of the water. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling in the area!

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful countryside home. The view was stunning, and the peaceful surroundings gave such calm and positive vibes. It was the perfect escape from the city. I would definitely love to stay here again!

This little place is a delight. Very clean, nicely decorated and has everything you need. It’s a little out of the main town but easy if you have a car. And the small touches make all the difference. Bread, butter, milk toiletries, very thoughtful. Very peaceful too, with only a few trains but you hardly notice them. We only stayed overnight but could easily have stayed longer.

Had a very quiet and relaxing stay! The cottage was super lovely and would highly recommend it to anyone! Would definitely stay there again! Kelly was a great host!

Beautiful Airbnb! Great location to discover Scotland and enjoy all its beautiful nature. Great view from your bedroom window on the forest behind the cottage.. highly recommended!

Megan and Sean’s place is beautiful—thoughtfully designed, well equipped, and tastefully decorated. It was perfect for our family of five (two adults and three children). Megan went above and beyond, even baking a cake and bringing fresh flowers from her garden to welcome us. The house is full of charming details and has been expertly renovated, blending the character of the old building with modern comforts. We especially appreciated the thoughtful extras for families—there were toys and board games that kept the kids happily entertained. There was also a wealth of local resources—books, maps, and guides—to help us explore the region. Firewood was provided for the fireplace, and the BBQ was ready to go with a full gas tank. It’s a wonderful place to relax—we’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful!! Welcoming! Village is wonderful and within walking distance. White Cottage Tea Room had excellent food (10 min walk). The local grocer was incredibly affordable (also 10 min walk). You can also walk into Inverness (2 miles) if you choose. Host was amazing and responsive.

There is not enough space in this box for me to express how lovely Fiona and her cottage are! Everything is exactly as pictured (actually even more beautiful than pictured) and Fiona is lovely, incredibly responsive to any messages and happy to go above and beyond for any questions that I had. Everything in the cottage is clearly labeled with helpful instructions for use, and Fiona reviewed everything with me at check-in as well. I was traveling alone, and she checked in with me several times to make sure I was comfortable and ensure that everything was going well. A minor repair was needed while I was there and Fiona's husband quickly addressed it and was very considerate with ensuring the repair was done at a time that I would be out. The surroundings are peaceful and incredibly beautiful. I will absolutely be back!

Fairygreen Cottage was the last stop on our holiday trip and it couldn't have been better! From the first step into the house until the very last minute, we absolutely enjoyed our stay there. The cottage is lovingly furnished, equipped with everything one needs and shows a high standard in quality. We felt very welcomed and comfortable and wish to come back!

What a fantastic space. Beautiful cottage and gardens and stunning surroundings. Great friendly and helpful hosts. A good spot with lots of things to do and see. We had a wonderful week at Arrivain and would definitely go back.

very quiet. had everything we needed and a true Scottish feel. would stay again
