Introduction

Set on the northern edge of the grounds of Aldourie Castle near Dores, Garden Cottage sits within the estate’s kitchen garden, surrounded by greenery, orchards and meadow paths. Part of WildLand, the cottage blends its original character with a restrained, Scandinavian-influenced interior, creating a calm and comfortable space for up to six guests.

Inside, three double bedrooms are arranged across two floors, including a ground-floor room with en-suite. A cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove offers space to unwind, while the kitchen and dining area is light-filled and designed for relaxed meals overlooking the gardens.

Beyond the cottage, the grounds open out with access to walled gardens, Victorian glasshouses, lochside walks and quiet corners for picnics, offering a slower way to experience the landscape around Loch Ness.
