Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
A cosy, beautifully refurbished 19th‑century cottage set right on the canal at Laggan Locks. With the water just steps away, guests can enjoy peaceful views, passing boats, and stunning Highland scenery. Perfect for a relaxing, nature‑filled getaway.

The space
Welcome to Ivy Cottage, this cosy single‑storey cottage with direct lake access combines traditional charm with modern comfort, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by some of the Highlands’ most striking natural scenery.

From the moment you arrive, the location becomes the star of your stay. The cottage sits just steps from the canal, giving you uninterrupted views of the water and the passing boats that gently move through the locks. Whether you’re enjoying an early morning coffee outside or unwinding in the evening as the light fades across the hills, the setting provides a sense of calm and connection to nature that is truly unique.

Inside, Ivy Cottage is warm, inviting, and designed with relaxation in mind. Its simple layout and thoughtful touches create a homely atmosphere — perfect for couples or solo travellers looking to slow down and recharge. Large windows let in natural light and ensure that the outdoors is always in view, even when you’re curled up indoors.

Step outside and you’re instantly immersed in the beauty of the Great Glen. Take peaceful walks along the canal path, breathe in the fresh Highland air, or sit by the water and watch the reflections shift with the weather. From wildlife sightings to dramatic skies, the landscape offers something new every day.

This special location makes Ivy Cottage ideal for those seeking quiet moments, scenic surroundings, and effortless access to nature.

Whether you’re here for a restful break, an adventure in the Highlands, or simply to enjoy the charm of life by the water, this cottage delivers the perfect setting.

Guest access
Guests have full access to the entire cottage, comprising of fully fitted kitchen plus wash/dryer machine, master bedroom, bathroom with standard & waterfall shower style, living space with both single and double sofa plus Smart TV and finally the stunning rear exterior terrace as well as exterior space at the front of the cottage.

Other things to note
Please note that due to the historic build and nature of the structure of the cottage, the main bedroom entrance door frame is rather low to the ground and therefore will mean you will need to crouch a little (if you are 6ft 1 like myself) in order to access safely. Don't worry though we have made a point to make everyone aware of this with clearly visible signs above the door, so this is just a pre-reminder to be careful when entering and exiting. Thanks
