This was our second stay at Lillybank. This time with christmas. We had a lovely time! Also nice touch was the christmas tree. We had an amazing christmas at the house, loved our highland walks and trips to Inverness. Lillybank feels like a home away from home! Thank you again for the amazing stay!

Perfect stay

This cottage certainly lived up to our expectations. The location was perfect with a short enjoyable walk along the river into the village and you could spend hours gazing at the views from any window. Cannot recommend Lilydale highly enough.

A relaxing week

A wonderful cottage.Comfortable, so dog friendly, all the amenities you could ask for.Incredibly quiet with views of Loch Ness that changed every hour, and just five minutes walk in to the village centre. We will most definitely be back.

Home from home, very well equipt, very clean, plenty of room

Location was great, you can sit in quite to stare at the river, you can be a little nosy as you watch people across the water....we even saw a wedding party, or you can walk about 3 minutes into the village to the local pubs.....brilliant😊

The perfect location

This lovely cottage was even better than i had expected. The cottage is more than roomy enough for the 4 adults in our family and would have accommodated another 2 easily. We could walk down a path at the waters edge and be in the heart of the village in 3 minutes.

Lilybank is a dream come true! We found it easily from the directions. And what a setting - so peaceful and lovely - we felt as if we needed a pinch to check we're not dreaming... Plus all the comforts of home away from home. And a roaring fire place, where we could sit and discuss the day's beauties with each other. Not to mention a stacked kitchen where we whipped up some real food.We slept well, ate well, laughed a lot and wish we'd never have to leave. What a marvelous stay!

Loved our stay at Lilybank!

We loved our week stay at Lilybank. The house was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The yard and the area surrounding the house was quiet but in 2 minutes walking you are in the middle of the small town. The kids loved watching all the boats passing through! We enjoyed lots of trips in the area: Jacobite train, Inverness, Uruquart castle and hiking in Glen Coe and Alt na Criche. Would highly recommend!
