South Bothy

A shelter from wild weather and the bustle of everyday life, South Bothy lies at the end of Aldourie Castle steadings. Full of original character, this is a cosy hideaway for creatives and adventure-seekers alike. Beautifully restored with a touch of Scandinavian minimalism, the Bothy comfortably sleeps up to two guests.

A Charming Highland Refuge

The perfect base from which to explore mystical Loch Ness and the surrounding landscape, South Bothy is nestled in the lush expanse of the estate’s grounds. A cosy double bedroom lies on the ground floor, complete with an en-suite bathroom and views of the surrounding greenery. Upstairs, an open-plan living-dining-kitchen space is an idyllic spot to work, write, or enjoy good food and drink. Made for those seeking slowness, South Bothy is a refuge for solo-travellers, couples or close friends. Dogs are most welcome.

Make yourself at home

An idyllic space for writers or artists, the open-plan living-dining room is found on the upper floor, with high ceilings and views across the estate grounds. The wide table is perfect for a spot of remote working before a day of outdoor adventure, and a crackling wood stove is ready to warm your toes upon your return.

Room for peace and quiet

Sleep tight in the cosy double bedroom, nestled on the ground floor with views across surrounding parkland. Find shelter from temperamental weather among plush bedding, and on brighter days, slowly wake to early morning sunlight streaming in through the windows. A beautiful en-suite bathroom lies behind a sliding wooden door.

Food for the soul

Bathed in natural light, and fully equipped as if it were your own home, a minimalist kitchen unit is found on the upper floor of the Bothy. Indulge in long, lazy brunches or evenings feasts, embracing the slower pace of Highland living.

A breath of fresh air

The skies seem wider here. Watch the light change as you sit out on the patio, sipping morning coffee or sampling fresh, local produce prepared on the barbecue. Find creative inspiration on the loch shore and true wilderness in the hills, before returning to your Highland home for long dinners under the open sky, boots left to dry by the front door.
