Ferienhaus Tigh na Coille in Inverness, Dores / UK – United Kingdom

Holiday home Tigh na Coille

The former manor house Tigh na Coille is located above the legendary Loch Ness in the mys­tical land­scape of the Scottish High­lands. The cottage with its natural stone façade follows a typical Scottish layout — with large com­munal rooms and smaller, private rooms. The old walls offer shelter and comfort, whether in the cold, magical winters or in the warmer seasons. Inside, despite the modernity, there is a touch of nost­algia.

The house can accom­modate up to eight people. On the ground floor there is a light-flooded living room, a cosy dining room and a spa­cious kitchen. The fri­endly, bright living room with its open, framed fire­place offers beau­tiful views and a mixture of Scottish cosiness and Danish coolness: stucco cei­lings, cof­fered windows, earthy tones and old pain­tings meet seating and tables in bright colours. The ele­gantly under­stated dining room has a large wooden table with room for all guests and shared moments to remember. There is an addi­tional lounge with a fire­place on the upper floor. This is also where the four large bed­rooms — named after the his­toric location: Scarlett, Marthe, Nymph and Orlando — as well as a shared bathroom and a shower room (a second one is located on the ground floor). Each of the rooms has its own cha­racter and all are deco­rated in subdued colours: Few, select fur­nis­hings, hand-printed wall­paper and har­mo­niously matching tex­tiles create a peaceful atmo­sphere. All rooms offer either a beau­tiful view of Loch Ness, the garden with its old trees or the sur­rounding hills.

The garden also offers an unob­s­tructed view of the land­scape — whether from the terrace facing the loch with dining area and seating, from the large Green Egg bar­becue or while playing on the vast lawn. After excur­sions to the num­erous nearby his­to­rical sites, hikes or a swim in the lake, you can end the day here in peace and quiet.
