13.7 km from Urquhart Castle

"The Hen House was lovely! It really was pretty, comfortable and finished to an incredibly high standard. The estate is beautiful and we happened to stay during a midsummer fair, which was fantastic. The hot tub was in dire need of a deep chemical clean. The tubes connected to the fire were leaking bits of dirt. Also the check out time being 10am is quite early when it is self catering and you’ll also need to pack a car. Overall I would highly reccomend a stay here. "

"We were there last week and had one of the small cabins out back. It was all we needed. Nothing fancy but it has a heater, twin beds and a private bathroom. There is a lounge room and kitchen to share. We couldn't get our heater to work, because the heaters they have a a little finicky, but the manager came out immediately and sorted it. Very well located! Buses are metres from the door. The community info hub is right next door."
