Our guests love the location with its close proximity to wonderful scenery and a variety of outdoor activities.

Many of our guests comment on the property’s cosy, ‘home-from-home’ feel as well as the very well-equipped kitchen and facilities. The Aga is not just a lovely focal point, but is great for cooking and baking, as well as for emitting a lovely warmth…

Outside & Parking

Step outside the house and to your left is the garden furniture – a table with 8 chairs surrounding (the cushions are in the porch). Between the furniture and road, our gardener has been developing an area of wild flowers.

It’s a delight to enjoy breakfast, a bite of lunch, a sumptuous evening dinner during the long summer nights or even just a morning coffee or mid-afternoon cuppa. You’ll very probably find yourself conversing with people walking up to and back from Glen Banchor.

You may even be called upon, by intrepid ‘Wildcat model’ seekers (recognised by a Wildcat Trail Brochure tucked under their arm), to help them in their search to find all the Wildcats dotted around the village. Our one, ‘Alphie’, is easy to find – it’s located on the porch roof and you can spot it on our website photos too. And you can inform these seekers, that there’s at least two more ‘wildcats’ to be found further up the road! Check out the centre (https://wildcatcentre.org/) on Main Street.

Round to the left of the house, you’ll find both the log storage and the swing. NB – the lighter the weight of a log, the drier it is – and the better burner! So try them for weight. You will find a basket of logs, gratis, in the front room. We ask for a donation for each subsequent basket.

There is a moveable bbq in the porch and some folk still make use of the permanent one under the tree canopy. Please make sure the bbq and utensils are properly clean for our next guests.

On the left hand side of the gable end facing you when you drive in, you’ll enjoy, when in bloom, the beautiful purple-violet flowers of the ‘Veilchenblau Rosa’. On the right is an Iceberg Rose and in between, a plum tree. Please feel free to pick some ripe plums and any other ripe fruit from the various bushes and plants around the garden.

To the rear of Netherwood, the newly erected steps (with wooden uprights, fronts and bark underfoot) lead you up to the top of the wild and sloped back garden. The view from the back fence looks north towards some of the Monadhliath mountains – some of the hills you may climb when you’re staying at Netherwood.

The driveway itself provides ample and secure parking for six cars (even 7 at a push!). Remember to leave space close to the ‘Veilchenblau Rosa’, so that any electric/hybrid vehicles can be charged using our EVCP.
