Gardeners Cottage, Balnagown Estate

Sleeps 4
Pet friendly

Enjoy this quintessential country cottage with its private entrance to the magnificent Grade B-listed walled garden. Gardener’s Cottage has a traditional charm that puts you at ease as soon as you step inside. Adjoining the estate’s historic Walled Garden, it invites you to create your memories of halcyon days with the family. In summer the estate grows barley for the whisky industry, and the private garden overlooking rippling fields of grain is the ideal place to unwind, perhaps with a dram, in the late afternoon sun. Relax with a book in the sunroom, go on a bike ride to explore the wider estate, look out for wildlife from the Observation Tower or simply enjoy playing in the garden. Then settle in for a cosy night in the sitting room by our newly fitted stove with your nearest and dearest.

Gardener’s Cottage is a family holiday cottage with the perfect mix of classic country style and easy-going charm, in the most beautiful of settings. Unwind and savour a leisurely picnic in the historic Walled Garden, ride bikes around trails through rich arable farmland and sheltering woodland. Listen to the birdsong as you ramble across fields, splash around on paddleboards and take a refreshing dip in the clear water of Loch Auchoyle, or just enjoy the views with a glass of wine and a lochside barbecue.

Balnagown is a private highland estate with a difference. Whether you’re looking for a base to explore the Highlands or you want to unwind and reconnect without venturing too far, you’ve found the ideal place for the holiday you deserve
