Might you spot the famed Loch Ness monster while staying at BCC Loch Ness Log Cabins? Frankly, it’s unlikely – but don’t let that dismay you too much, for there’s a plentiful supply of other excellent things to set your eyes upon around this stunning part of Scotland.
For starters, you’ll want to spend a bit of time gazing out over the loch… and that’s easily done from this spot in Glen Urquhart, 10 minutes’ drive from Drumnadrochit on the eastern shore of Loch Ness. And no doubt you’ll want to make the most of your immediate surrounds as well: the lodges here are set among 30 acres of natural space, with gorgeous views down the glen and up to the Suidhe Ghuirmain peaks.
Whether the monster exists or not is up for debate but there’s certainly plenty of other beasts thriving nearby – keep eyes peeled for shaggy Highland cattle in the local fields, plus passing wildlife such as grouse, roe deer, buzzards and red squirrels.
Matching up to the spectacular surrounds are the rather fine interiors of the cabins themselves, constructed from solid round logs in a secluded spot by a silver birch wood and a stream. Each one has a fully-fitted kitchen, a swish bathroom and living spaces that max those views from indoors and out; top-notch bed linen and towels are part of the deal too.
Such a retreat requires an epic drive along rough tracks, right? Not at all – this place is a handy half-hour drive from Inverness along A roads.

Local attractions
You’ve come along here for the outdoorsy escapades, right? Well, there are certainly plenty of those to pick from… fishing, pony trekking and golf are popular picks within a half-hour drive, and mountain bikers can head for the trails at Balnain Bike Park, two miles from the site.
Those looking for walks and bike rides should set forth for Glen Urquhart Forest (five minutes’ drive), the ancient Corrimony Chambered Cairn (five minutes) and Glen Affric National Nature Reserve (20 minutes). And there’s the loch, of course – home to boat trips (both leisurely and high-speed varieties), watersports and the splendid Urquhart Castle (15 minutes).
You may be reluctant to drag yourselves away from such things, but it’s worth doing so for a trip to Inverness (half an hour) to visit the botanic gardens and Eden Court theatre and pick up your own tartan outfits at the shops (and perhaps swing home via the Glen Ord distillery for some whisky to sip back at base).
