When you think of Jacobite, you probably think of our iconic Loch Ness cruises. However, there’s more to our story. Nestled along the Caledonian Canal at Dochgarroch, we offer three unique Loch Ness Cottages that provide the perfect base for your Highland adventures. Whether you’re looking for a family gathering spot, a romantic escape, or simply a peaceful retreat, our cottages are the ideal choice.
Stay in the Heart of the Highlands
Dochgarroch is more than just a departure point for cruises - it’s a scenic and strategic location just four miles from Inverness. Our Loch Ness holiday cottages are positioned perfectly for you to explore the Highlands, with the Isle of Skye, Fort William and the Cairngorms each accessible by car for a great day trip.
Explore Our Three Unique Cottages
Each of our self-catering cottages offers something special, ensuring that you find the perfect match for your needs:
Perched on the bank of the Caledonian Canal, offering great views of the Lock and Canal, The Lock Keepers Cottage is bright, unique, and charming. This spacious cottage is split over two stories, featuring an open-plan living and kitchen area complete with a cosy wood-burning stove. It’s the perfect gathering place for family celebrations, with three large en suite bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, flat-screen TVs, and even a washing machine. Just a minute’s walk from our An Talla shop and cafe and our boat departure point, this cottage provides an ideal blend of comfort and convenience. Plus, it includes an EV charging point and plenty of parking.
Parkside Cottage
