Accommodation overview: Situated in a quiet backwater overlooking the Caledonian Canal, with the waters of the Beauly Firth beyond, yet just over a mile from the centre of Inverness, Canalside Cottage is ideally located for enjoying a Highland break. The accommodation offers a delightful combination of old world charm and modern living. Situated right on the banks of the Caledonian Canal, it was originally a fisherman's cottage. The current owners retained the lovely old thick stone walls whilst completely rebuilding the cottage internally. It now provides an exceptionally high standard of accommodation, with bright spacious open-plan living areas, two modern bathrooms and three large bedrooms. Exposed woodwork and deep-silled windows add to its cottage charm and character. The large French windows open out to a courtyard patio garden, with stunning views across the wide sweeping waters of the Beauly Firth. Canalside Cottage is situated in a very quiet lane at the entrance of the Caledonian Canal, from where it flows into the sea. There are delightful walks direct from the property along the side of the canal. From here walkers and cyclists can join up with the Great Glen Way that takes you along the side of Loch Ness and right through to Fort William. The cottage is superbly located to enjoy the wealth of activities and places of interest in the whole of the Highland region. For golfers there is a beautiful 9-hole golf course at Aigas, which welcomes visitors, just a short drive away, and there are another 28 golf courses within an hour's drive. Canoeing, curling, sailing, skiing, and mountain-biking, riding, pony-trekking and fishing are all available locally. Inverness is an enchanting city, with beautiful Ness-side walks and superb leisure facilities including a multi-million pound theatre complex, ice rink, cinemas and an aqua-dome. There are plenty of excellent restaurants, cafes and bars, set against a backdrop of the imposing Inverness castle that looks down on the river. Visit the atmospheric battlefields of Culloden, the fairy-tale castle of Cawdor and the historic Fort George. Take a boat trip along the Caledonian Canal and explore Loch Ness or cruise the Moray Firth, famous for its bottle-nose dolphins that are frequently spotted. The nearby peninsula known as the Black Isle is renowned for its unspoilt fishing village and lovely white sandy beaches. Canalside Cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a city break in a quiet location with easy access to the whole of the Highlands. The property is heated by gas central heating.
