A Romantic Escape in the Scottish Highlands
Welcome to your perfect Highland hideaway
Nestled in the picturesque village of Drumnadrochit, on the legendary shores of Loch Ness, this beautifully designed luxury bothy offers everything you need for a relaxing and unforgettable stay.
If you’re looking for the perfect couples’ retreat, this bothy provides a peaceful, private escape for two. Whether you’re strolling by the loch hand-in-hand, watching the mist rise over the hills, or simply enjoying quiet time together by the fire, this is the kind of place where lasting memories are made.
The Ideal Base for Outdoor Adventure
Step into nature, unwind in comfort
Calling all walkers, ramblers and lovers of the great outdoors – set on the path of the Great Glen Way and with Glen Affric and Glen Urquhart on your doorstep, you’re perfectly placed to explore some of Scotland’s most breath-taking trails.
After a day of hiking through ancient forests, loch-side paths and Highland hills, return to your cosy retreat. Soothe tired muscles in the roll-top bath before heading out to the garden where a covered hot tub awaits – the ultimate reward after a day on the trail. Wake up to birdsong, lace up your boots and reconnect with the land at your own pace.
A Stylish Highland Retreat
Luxury, comfort and natural beauty combined
Step inside and discover a stylish open-plan living space with a fully equipped kitchen, a cosy lounge, and a plush bedroom area. A separate bathroom features a roll-top bath with a shower – ideal for soaking after a day of exploring.
Outside, your private garden oasis invites you to dine al fresco, toast marshmallows around the fire pit or unwind on the deck in the covered hot tub, whatever the weather. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning mist or stargazing at night, this is a place to slow down, switch off, and soak up the magic of the Highlands.
And of course, no visit to Drumnadrochit would be complete without a walk by Loch Ness – keep your eyes peeled, you never know when Nessie might make an appearance!

Our Guests’ Experiences
We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Bothy, it completely exceeded our already high expectations. I could see from the pictures how beautiful the Bothy was but when I walked in my jaw dropped, it's even more beautiful and spacious in person.
Jackie and her husband have clearly put so much thought and effort into the Bothy, we didn't want or need anything in the 5 days we were there everything was provided. I also loved the offering of ordering a cooked breakfast which we took advantage of on anniversary, it was delicious and well worth the money.
It was so peaceful, completely private and secure which was great for our dog who was just able to roam the garden as he pleased, he spent a lot of time outside sunbathing. The local area is great too, everything is on your doorstep, only a walk away for restaurants, shops, bars, boat cruises etc.
I would recommend staying here to anyone, we loved it!
Nicole
I would strongly recommend staying here - the Bothy is exactly as described and Jackie is a great host.
Everything was as described and in great condition. It is located in the centre of Drumnadrochit, and being situated next to the river it is the perfect spot. The hot tub and fire pit are a great addition. We had a great time.

We had an absolutely lovely time at Bridgend Bothy. It is a lovely, warm and cosy little hideaway.
The place was immaculately clean and prepared for us and we had no trouble at all checking in and settling in.
There are plenty of lovely places to eat locally. We loved eating at The Fiddlers as the food was absolutely top notch. We are already thinking about a return trip!
Darren
Like a home away from home in a very beautiful setting! The Bothy was very clean, smelled gorgeous, was welcoming and thoughtfully equipped with all that you could need and more.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return. The hot tub was an amazing way to relax and the garden was like a mini-resort!
Colleen
We had a wonderful stay at Bridgend Bothy. The location was fantastic and the bothy itself was equipped to a high standard.
The covered hot tub was excellent for relaxing in a morning or evening before or after a day exploring. The hosts Jackie and Keith were very polite and helpful, we would definitely like to stay again.
Chris
Beautiful bothy which was immaculate and even better than the pictures make it look. Lovely big garden and the hot tub was used every night without fail. Our dog also loved the fireplace.
Would definitely recommend and would absolutely stay again.
John
Such a beautiful well presented bothy. Very well cared for with all needs covered. It was very peaceful and relaxed and we thoroughly enjoyed our hot tub even in 2 degree and snowy temperatures!
The bothy is gorgeous with a lovely garden and decking area. The hot tub was under cover also which was great as the weather was raining and snowing! We were totally secluded and had total privacy. I dont often want to return to the same place bit would definitely use the bothy again. Thank you for hosting us.

The bothy is a stunning, well loved and looked after property. Inside it is so comfortable, well decorated with all the appliances that you need. Outside, you've got a nice quiet, private garden with a hot tub and close up. views of the River Enrick.
Location wise, it's only a short drive to Glen Affric, Plodda Falls and Inverness.
We loved it so much that we're thinking of coming back in the summer to do some Munro bagging and explore Glen Affric with bikes.
Arnie
We had a cozy and peaceful stay at Bridgend Bothy. Perfectly decorated and designed to maximise space. Spotless throughout. All the amenities you need on site. The hot tub was ready to use on arrival, the grounds all enclosed for our wee Westie Jack to explore, safely.
The village has everything you need, we went to The Loch Ness Inn for Sunday Lunch and cocktails and Cafe Eighty Two for breakfast. All within 15 to 20 easy walk. Great location for exploring the beautiful Scottish countryside. Dores , Foyers , Fort Augustus not too far away for a visit. Lovely dog walks nearby.
We loved our wee stay. Looking at booking again next year. Thank you for sharing your home.
Sharon
Bridgend Bothy was perfect in every way! The garden and its surroundings were fantastic, creating a serene atmosphere. Sitting in the hot tub, listening to the river flow by, was simply heavenly.
The property features two lovely outdoor seating areas, which I imagine would be delightful in the summer. The hot tub under the Gazebo is unbelievable, perfect to unwind and relax in.
The interior of the Bothy is sublime. The decor is beautiful and thoughtfully arranged, with lovely little touches throughout. It has everything you need, so you won't feel the need to leave—it's truly a great place to relax. There isn’t a single thing I could fault; it was perfect in every way. From the welcome basket filled with essentials to the comfortable bed and stunning bathroom, every detail was well-considered.
In summary, Bridgend Bothy is a hidden gem. The owners have done an amazing job, and we will definitely return. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat and a lovely base to explore the beautiful Loch Ness area.
