Trinity Cottage - Moriston River Frontage

Hi and welcome to Moriston River Cottages. Trinity Cottage is a beautiful place to stay. To ensure comfort and make sure everything needed is included, we've stayed in Trinity ourselves and we loved every minute. Trinity is located with a great view of Moriston River and 5 min from Loch Ness. We found sleeping to the sound of the river very therapeutic! Sitting outside or viewing the river from inside Trinity was spectacular. The King size beds were both very comfortable as well as the bedding.
