Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Loch Ness

Great place to stay, at high tide you feel like your right on the firth and at low tide there is a lot of area to walk. It's quite and peaceful, and was the perfect place for me and my family to relax whilst we explored Inverness, Loch Ness and the highlands

This property has everything you could ever want in a break away with family and friends. Quiet and secluded while still be closer enough to Drum for a night out or supplies. The house was really well done with a homely feel that set you at ease straightaway. Being able to relax by the river and having a huge garden to relax in were the highlight for me. But the best part of this trip was Kay herself. Full of local recommendations and very responsive, we never struggled for things to do. Also her little touches were fantastic. The best host I've ever had while staying in Airbnb's!! Would stay with her again in a heartbeat

Katie’s charming home near the red castle ruins was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in peace and magic. The cottage was beautifully kept, fully stocked, and incredibly comfortable—every detail thoughtfully arranged to make us feel at home. The setting is something out of a storybook. Waking up next to the historic ruins and soaking in the beauty of the surroundings was unforgettable. The hot tub was a highlight, especially after a day of travel. Our kids were thrilled with the darts and ping pong, and everyone slept like a dream—so quiet, so cozy. If Scotland weren’t so far away, we’d be back in a heartbeat. This may be the only trip we ever take as a family to Scotland, and we’re beyond grateful that Katie’s magical cottage was part of our journey. Thank you for everything!

We had a fabulous stay! Mimi was so accommodating and showed us around and the kids loved her! It was such a magical stay and we made memories that we will cherish forever. We will definitely come back!

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed - both the beauty of the surroundings and the house itself with gorgeous views and unique design and decor. Cozy living room with great view. Basically two master bedrooms. Great kitchen and dining room. Nice deck if weather permits. Close to railway walking path. I even caught four brown trout from shore just across the lake. Highly recommend!

This home was amazing. Just what we needed to use as a base for our Ben Nevis climb. Owner super helpful and friendly. Her little welcome pack was so thoughtful and everything we needed was there. Such a beautiful please to stay with the sheep, deer and mountains to see out the window. Perfect.

Beautiful home. What absolutely blew us away was the views of Loch Ness. Photos don’t do it justice!

Sian's house is lovely. Very clean and comfortable with very good outdoor sitting area/garden. It's very convenient for the village and local sites. Walkable to Urquhart Castle. Co-op and Italian restaurant just around the corner. Lovely pizza at the Italians. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Puffin parlour was a wonderful home away from home. Michelle was east to talk to and communicate with and provided many extra useful items within the flat. It was centrally located so was easy for us to walk to many of the local attractions and was also easy to get to train and bus stations. The flat was clean and well tended and big enough that we felt we had plenty of room to cook and relax.

We had a lovely stay in Kirkmichael. The flat was very well equipped and more spacious than we expected. The village is very peaceful and a great base for exploring the national park.

Ideal location for me. Good views of the river and the area felt very safe. Good communication from Rebecca. Although small the apartment did not feel cramped and there was plenty of floor space for stretching.

I could not express how lovely it was to stay at Ruth's during our short time in Inverness. It's what we call a "mother-in-law-suite," as it's a separate living space attached to their home. Sometimes you can hear their fam getting ready for bed/the day but that didn't bother us. The space was wonderful, tidy, and full of cute little treats. She was the most helpful and gracious host I've ever experienced! My spouse wasn't feeling super well the second night we stayed. I asked for some tea and Ruth offered many things out of her own kitchen to him (she even reached out a few times after check out to ensure everything went smoothly with our train and asked if my spouse was feeling better). You can tell she is the type of person who will go out of her way to make sure you enjoy your time there and I could not recommend her place more. 10/10!

We really enjoyed our stay ,a beautiful home , garden and location on our way to Skye , Elizabeth and Justin were really friendly and welcoming thankyou ,would definitely recommend .

Lovely place to stay Freda was very friendly

Everything about our stay in the boys dormitory was superb. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a stay in such a unique accommodation especially with all of the access to the abbeys modern facilities was a huge bonus. Me and my wife couldn’t get enough of the lake views from our sitting room.

Great place close enough to the main area of town. Very clean and comfortable space.

Highly recommend booking this BnB! It was clean, quiet, and walkable to just about anything you could want. The host is very kind and provides thorough information about check-in, parking, etc.

Andrew’s place was a perfect base for a few days of hiking. It is a short walk to the train and bus, and there is a small grocery store even closer. The place was clean and had a nice modern kitchen. After our days of walking in the highlands, we appreciated showers or baths with lots of pressure and hot water. The idea of paying for the heat you use makes some sense too.

Extremely accommodating and responsive. Parking was easier than we initially thought. Location fabulous and across the street from Ee-Usk and its sister Italian restaurant Piazza. Get reservations or be at the door before they open and cross your fingers. So worth it. Easy walkability. Easy to get to ferry to other islands. The apartments was pristine, large bathroom and bedrooms. Relaxing in front of bay window overlooking water was so relaxing. Be safe repaired for 88 stairs (not that we counted)

We had a lovely time in Inverness in Jills appartment. It was the perfect size for two people, clean and had everything you needed for the stay.

Stephen is an excellent host, sent great recommendations on places to eat and made sure we had arrived & settled in. It’s a superb location- on one side is the beach and on the other is the town. Thank you Stephen for a lovely stay :-)

Easy to follow instructions everywhere you might need them. Great book to learn about the area and to get recommendations. Amazing communication and we look forward to coming back in the future

Lovely flat, spotless and has everything that anyone could need. Great location and very responsive host, definitely recommend!

Rosey’s place was absolutely perfect, clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed. We had our privacy, plenty of room for parking, and a beautiful view. The patio was sprinkled with beautiful plants and plenty of lounge seating to enjoy the view. Rosey also washed our laundry and returned it folded and clean to us in a timely manner. I wish we would’ve booked this part of our stays longer!
