It's a short drive to the local village shop where you'll also find a choice of pubs with food (2 miles). The River Conon meanders through this area of the Highlands providing the perfect setting for abundant wildlife and outdoor pursuits. Look out for roe deer, osprey, badgers, and pine martens on the estate - there's even a red kite bird-feeding station.
Explore the estate's romantic gardens, lochs and ponds; and venture along its river banks, woodland footpaths and cycle tracks. River and loch fishing is also available (fees apply), and further activities can be arranged with the helpful owners including clay pigeon shooting, canoeing, abseiling, archery and photography with expert rangers. There's also a nine-hole golf course on the estate so you can easily challenge fellow guests to a few rounds.
Further afield, outdoor adventures also include cycling, pony-trekking and trailriding with experts at Aigas Field Centre (6 miles), while, imaginative bairns will love the legendary tales of elusive Nessie at the Loch Ness exhibition centre (19 miles).
Shoppers and history buffs will also enjoy the proximity to the small city of Inverness (12 miles), the capital of the Highlands, with an ancient cathedral, castle, and nearby battle site where the final Jacobite rising occurred (19 miles). For a bird's-eye view of the city, head to Inverness Castle where you can enjoy panoramic vistas at The Castle Viewpoint, a new visitor attraction with an audio-visual experience and the opportunity to climb 94 steps towards the view in the North Tower.
