About this property

WILDWOOD in the Scottish Highlands near Loch Ness and Fort Augustus Pet Friendly

Luxury Scandanavian Log House, Forest Views & Wildlife Right On Your Doorstep
Wildwood, a first class self catering accommodation for large families, groups of friends or just more space for the appreciative couple. Wildwood is set within a tranquil forest and is within easy reach of the village of Fort Augustus with it's famous Caledonian canal locks and Loch Ness. The forest tracks along the River Oich and the Great Glen make life easier to enjoy the Highlands right from your doorstep in this idyllic location. The lounge at Wildwood is located on the 1st floor taking advantage of the magnificent views through it's large picture windows, bringing the forest ever closer. A wood burner will keep you warm during those colder evenings. Also on the first floor is the master suite with dressing room and ensuite shower plus a single bedroom. A spiral staircase descends to the large open plan kitchen/dining area. Double and twin bedrooms, bathroom and large Utility/drying room are also at this level. Outside seating and barbecue for the finer days add to the experience. Totally Dog friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Ray Cooper (Owner)

Host profile image
Living in the South East of England, Wildwood is our gateway to the great outdoors and adventure. It's where we enjoy many activities like biking, hiking, kayaking, walking and exploring. It's our bolt hole to get away from the every day stresses of life. Over the years we have made many friends in the area and enjoy our regular trips to the fantastic Scottish Highlands and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Fort Augustus is the epicentre of the Scottish Highlands.
Wildwood is situated in the heart of the Inchnacardoch Forest and is a home away from the bustle of everyday modern life - even after just one week you will feel refreshed and have a new vigor to resume your normal life back home. Wildwood will hopefully give you a small snapshot of a time long ago where families and couples can enjoy each others company even in this fast paced world which we now reside. Take time to enjoy the remoteness of the forest walks, to smell the trees, listen to the birds, see the deer and enjoy proper conversation with loved ones. Have a great holiday!

What makes this property unique

Wildwood gives you the opportunity to stay in a relatively remote Scandanavian Log House with all the modern trimmings to make your holiday that much more enjoyable, but never to far from civilisation which allow's you to benefit from all that Fort Augustus has to offer!
The views of the forest, the birds, deer and our resident Pine Martins compliment Wildwood
Close your eyes and picture this luxury log house in it's forest setting - TRANQUILLITY!!!
