The scent of pine drifts through the valley as red squirrels dart between the Scots pines — this is proper Highland territory, where the mountains feel close enough to touch from your breakfast table.
Creag Mhor works beautifully for walkers tackling the high tops, couples after a cosy base whatever the season, or anyone who fancies a camping pod experience with the backup of guest house comfort when the weather turns. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth checking ahead if you're bringing your four-legged companion along. The year-round opening means you can chase the northern lights in January or the long summer gloaming — rare flexibility for this corner of Scotland.
Inside you'll find WiFi (helpful for route planning or simply staying connected), and the setup blends pod life with traditional guest house warmth. Campfires need a quick check on arrival, so have a word when you pitch up. The vibe is quiet and restorative — a place to slow down, lace up the boots, and let the Highlands work their magic without any fuss.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.

Follows the quieter southern shore of Loch Ness for approximately 28 miles between Fort Augustus and Torbreck, mixing forest tracks, old military roads, and lochside paths with moderate to steep sections through woodland.
