To sit at breakfast and dinner overlooking a beautiful scenic loch on which we had paddled on was just amazing. Beautifully clean comfortable beds and attentive hosts. Great place to stay and good position to explore the area
We had the most stunning holiday at New Brachkashie! From the moment you enter the cottage you feel at home. Itâs cosy, warm, beautifully decorated and has the best view from the kitchen table! During our stay we explored Fort Augustus and nearby places but the biggest adventure was on the islands of loch Knockie that we reached by cottage boat! Most incredible memories for our children! Canât wait to be back!
A very peaceful and beautiful location. The cottage is immaculate.
Try sections of the South Loch Ness way and the Findhorn circular walk if you like good walks. Plenty of others close by.
This was the perfect cottage in beautiful surroundings. It was our base for the week whilst we explored Loch Ness and other nearby towns and places. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and homely. The boating on loch Knockie was also an added bonus and enjoyed by all. Catherine was very helpful and always responded to any queries quickly. Hope one day to return and enjoy another peaceful stay here.
Everything about this place is stunning. The house is beautiful inside and out, the cleanest place Iâve ever stayed. Thereâs a fire built for your arrival, a loch with your own boats waiting for you and the best view your ever gonna see from a bedroom window anywhere in the UK. Best holiday weâve ever had. Loved every second
This is a very comfortable, well equipped, stylish cottage in a secluded and peaceful location. The setting is glorious, the views spectacular and the cottage is always warm and snug thanks to a very efficient wood burner. A perfect place to enjoy a break in the highlands. On site boating and trout fishing are an added bonus. Vic Chaffey
If youâre looking for a secluded (very) and peaceful getaway this is your place. Lovely cottage on a beautiful highland lakeâthe views are exquisite. It was a little too cool and windy for us to be able to enjoy the deck but being able to have a fire in the evenings made up for it. Itâs a little bit of a drive to town but youâll find pretty much anything you need thereâjust be on the lookout for the abundant wildlife.
Weâve stayed one week in October 2024 at the cottage âNew Brachkashieâ⊠and yes⊠it was absolutely stunning and outstanding. Weâve been so many times to Scotland in the last 2 years, always staying in a house, but we can nothing compare with New Brachkashie. From the first moment on it was like coming home. Catherine furnished the cottage very warm and stylish. The silence, the view over Loch Knockie, the garden and nature around the cottage and so much more makes this place very special and magic. Weâll be back for sure.
This was a very special and relaxing place to spend a week on our travels! The home is beautifully designed and decorated yet comfortable and welcoming. The amenities are very nice and the beds and linens are especially comfortable and beautiful. We really enjoyed using the canoe and row boat to explore the lake! The kitchen is very well appointed and the coffee and steamed milk were great! Communication with the owner was easy and relaxed. We had dinner at the nearby Whitebridge Hotel twice and enjoyed that very much. We would love to return to this very special place and have recommended it to friends who are planning a trip to Scotland.
We really enjoyed our time in this wonderful cottage. Exactly what we were looking for - quiet and with a great view of the lake.
The Communication with Cathrine was perfect.
Everything you need for a holiday in a holiday home is there.
We loved everything about New Brackashie cottage. The linens were crisp, the floors in the bathrooms heated, the rain shower downstairs, the comfort of the furniture. The cottage was decorated very tastefully and the view was spectacular. Quiet and serene and so so beautiful. We wished we had longer to stay as we did a tour of Loch Ness out of Inverness and a tour of the Jacobite Steam Train out of Fort William. Wished we had at least one more day to do nothing but enjoy the Loch. Definitely recommend staying here if you like peace and quiet and beauty.
Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt in einem traumhaft schönen Haus
Wir haben ein tolles Haus vorgefunden, mit direkter Lage am Loch Knockie. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und es hat uns an Nichts gefehlt. Wir haben vor allem die schöne Aussicht genossen. Das Haus liegt ideal um die Highlands zu erkunden. Zu dem gibt es sehr bequeme Betten und eine KĂŒche in der man gemĂŒtlich miteinander kochen kann und das Essen im Anschluss, mit Blick auf Loch Knockie, genieĂen kann. Vielen Dank auch an Catherine fĂŒr den netten Kontakt.
Ein niedliches, liebevoll eingerichtetes Cottage, der Blick /Zugang zu Loch Knockie ist traumhaft. Schon der Weg von Fort Augustus mit Blick auf Loch Ness und Loch Tarff waren herrlich.
Sehr gute Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin per Mail. Wir haben die Ruhe und Einsamkeit sehr genossen.
Peaceful, beautiful, luxurious cottage nestled on a quiet Scottish loch
A tranquil quiet get away in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. The cottage exceeded our expectations and the views from the rooms are just breathtaking!
AMAZING!
Lovingly and tastefully decorated with spacious rooms and outstanding views throughout. Property is remote and extremely peaceful however nearest pub is only 5 mins drive away and many places such as Fort Augustus are only a short and scenic drive from the property. Added bonus is the availability of a boat and canoe to use on the loch. Would definitely recommend.
This was a perfect place to stay to see Inverness, Fort Augustus, and Fort William! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful drive each morning on our way to see the sites. Beautiful place to stay!
Das Cottage hat Alles fĂŒr einen ruhigen idyllischen Urlaub. Lage ist perfekt, das Nachbarhaus hat uns nicht gestört. Es gibt kein Fernsehen und kaum Handyempfang, das ist in einer solchen Lage so.
We enjoyed a wonderful week in this beautiful home. The setting is perfect to rest and restore and also to explore the beautiful highlands of Scotland. The cottage provided everything we needed, to a very high standard. We enjoyed many walks and visited a few of the recommendations made to us. We cannot recommend New Brachkashie cottage highly enough ..and still miss that perfect view each morningâŠ
We are a family of four living in East Lothian, Scotland. George is a property agent with his own business based in Edinburgh. Catherine is an Interior Designer and runs her own business too! We have two daughters, Ella and Rosie. The Highlands are an essential escape for us all.
Although George was brought up in Dorset, his mother's family used to own the Knockie Estate and many holidays were spent at Brachkashie, enjoying the loch, the little islands, and brown trout fishing from the boat. Picnics, walking and fresh Highland air was the essence to our Scottish holidays.
Unique location overlooking Loch Knockie with an abundance or wildlife to enjoy. Full use of a large rowing boat and canoe for Loch Knockie. Beautifully furnished cottage which has been renovated to a high standard.
