Ness Side Cottages

The Cottage

Situated on the outskirts of the loch-side village of Dores, Allt a’Mhuilinn ('mill by the stream') is an attractive and sympathetically converted former meal mill.

This is an ’upside down’ house to better appreciate the views from a well-apportioned open plan living-room/diner/kitchen. 
The house has electric heating (included in price) which is complemented by a solid fuel stove (coal and logs supplied) in the lounge area.

If you bring small children we also have a stairgate and a highchair should you need them!

Downstairs

All beds have duvets and two pillows per person. Linen is provided at no extra cost.

We have a traditional wooden cot with a drop down side available which fits neatly into the main bedroom or the small bedroom as you prefer.

Soft towels are available at £5 per person.
