Characterful Riverside Highland Home with a Wow Factor Grand Hall Living-Room

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Old School House! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. The home was immaculate and beautifully decorated giving a real sense of the Highlands, with all the amenities we could have hoped for. Each morning, we enjoyed our coffee watching the red squirrels in the garden, and on one occasion a doe came to visit. The location was perfect—within walking distance to a local pub serving great food, and a short drive to Fort Augustus and Falls of Foyer.A special shoutout to Kim for being an exceptional host! They were incredibly responsive and provided great recommendations for local activities. We truly appreciated the personal touches, like the treats waiting for us upon arrival.We can’t recommend this place enough and look forward to returning in the future! Thank you for making our trip so special!

This was our third time at the Old School, our favorite Scottish getaway. The host is always very helpful and you truly feel at home. With all of the amenities you could want, and a great base for exploring the beautiful Scottish countryside. We can’t wait to return, soon we hope.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us! It’s the perfect blend of the old and the new, and made a great home base for us as we explored the Highlands. We’d love to make a return trip some day!

Kim was such a great host offering quick help with any questions and wonderful suggestions for hiking and sightseeing. The house was very special and the beautiful gardens and rampant wildlife was a delight for 2 city dwellers. The Highlands was truly a breath of fresh air for us! Highly recommend for those who want to be in splendid surroundings and an unhurried pace.

This was our 2nd time to stay at this wonderful property. After two years we returned and we were so pleased to find that all we love (which is everything) had not changed! We had great cozy fires, swam in the river and enjoyed the amenities of this beautiful place. Feeding the birds and wildlife was awesome! We ate several times at the Whitebridge pub inn and enjoyed all seasonal foods and of course, a few cocktails! We love this area and the Old School and will definitely be back! Thank you Kim and family for sharing your home with us!

Everything was as described in the listing and the main reception room is magnificent. Kim very kindly left us clear instructions for arrival/departure as well as wine, whisky and snacks! We cycled, walked, swam, rode and ate (very well). The sleeping accommodation is fine for 8 (4 adults and 4 children/teenagers) although the second double bedroom is quite snug. This however is more than made up for by the space in the rest of the house and the great location. A lovely 10 day stay. Highly recommended. Many thanks to Kim.

A welcoming home with an impressive main living space. Extremely well equipped. Much better than the photos suggest!

We were delighted with all aspects of our stay. Blessed with glorious weather, which helped, but it was perfect for what we wanted - remote, quiet, beautiful area, every facility we needed. Our only mistake was not booking earlier so that there was availability for a longer stay.

Charming house. Enchanting location. Perfect medicine for aching metropolitan bones. Open fire, characterful comfort and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Lovely days spent at the house, dunked in the river that runs adjacent to the house, and fantastic day trips, magical Plodda Falls, and an easy day trip to Skye well within reach. Fabulous week.

My family and I had a really good stay at the School House and enjoyed our week. It position and situation are first class and the privacy it offers are great to. So we enjoyed our stay. Our only comment would be that some of the furniture while 'quaint' is getting to the end of its useful life so there are a few things that could do with upgrading urgently but the property itself is fine and the large great hall makes it so even large families have loads of room to spread out in.
