About the Lock Keepers

On the banks of the Caledonian Canal, The Lock Keepers Cottage is bright, unique and utterly charming. It is the perfect gathering place to explore the Highlands of Scotland. The Lock Keepers Cottage is situated at Dochgarroch Lock, 4 miles out of Inverness, and benefits from a wonderful location – only a few minutes walk to the Caledonian Canal and close to Loch Ness. We are a one-minute walk from the An Talla shop and the Dochgarroch boat departure point. 

Split over two stories, the cottage comes with an open-plan living and kitchen area, with a wood-burning stove. This sociable house is perfect for celebrations or family gatherings. It is equipped with 3 large bedrooms, all en suite, with a flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a kitchen with a dishwasher and oven. Towels and bed linen are offered. EV charging is also available at The Lock Keepers Cottage.

Don’t just take our word for it, here are some things people had to say about The Lock Keepers.

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Lockkeeper's Cottage - wish we could stay for longer. The cottage is beautifully appointed, with gorgeous linens, a cosy fireplace and a great kitchen. Will be recommending to anyone travelling to the Highlands."

"We stayed at the Lock Keepers Cottage. Absolute five stars, will recommend to everyone I know. A dream vacation. Ate at An Talla twice because they had so many good things to try and just a three minute walk to the cafe, so good. Book it!"
