The estate offers two unique and historically interesting properties, The Boathouse and Otter Lodge, both beautifully renovated to provide luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in this lovely corner of the Highlands of Scotland. Otter Lodge is an imposing stone building set in the valley below the lake, close to the Horseshoe Falls. It used to be the ‘Powerhouse’ power generating station supplying electricity to the Estate, and the water which used to power the turbines can still be seen running beneath the house, through the viewing window in the living room floor. Derelict and roofless for many years, Otter Lodge was lovingly restored and is now an elegant and luxurious self-catering holiday home. It has two bedrooms (one king and one twin) and two bathrooms, sleeping four guests. Accommodation is entirely on the ground floor, making it accessible for those with limited mobility. Layout: Entrance Hall leads into an expansive living / dining room with dramatic high vaulted ceiling, giving an extra sense of spaciousness to an already large room, which provides a lounge area around the feature fireplace. The huge Gothic window with window seat is a lovely place to sit and admire the stream flowing beneath the house. Furnished to an impeccable standard with large comfortable sofas, and dining table and six chairs. French doors lead out to the patio area with outdoor / garden furniture. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The window at the end of the kitchen looks across the Goose burn to the bluebell wood - a special delight around May time. The master bedroom is spacious with a king-size bed and plenty of hanging and drawer space. The en-suite bathroom encompasses a bath, wash hand basin, and W.C. The twin bedroom comprises two single beds, and plenty of hanging and drawer space. The second bathroom contains a shower, wash hand basin and W.C. The outside area has a patio with timber garden furniture, and ample car parking. Heating and electricity included in your rental. We provide all bedding, bed linen and towels, TV, and WiFi (subject to fair usage policy). Dogs are welcome at an added fee of £20 per dog. Please note: Gardens/Outside areas not necessarily dog proof, even if fenced/walled, so dogs must be kept under control at all times, especially near farm animals. - EPC rating D - Highland Council Short Term Let Licence no.

As ever a wonderful stay at otter lodge. Having stayed there many times back when it was the Powerhouse and was first renovated we had seen the property when it was new. Was really pleased when we visited this time see that love and care was still being put into the property with all the stone work cleaned and repointed, windows painted and the bathrooms having been revamped with the lovely new shower. She was gleaming and looked like new. Just a perfect house on the most wonderful estate - thank you. A.

The location and the property itself were great. Very peaceful. The cleanliness of the shower cubicle was poor. There was dirt and mould. The shower head in particular was very unclean and I complained at the time and it was changed. The washing machine soap drawer was also very mouldy and I hope this has been deep cleaned. There needs to be more attention paid to cleaning the kitchen (I had to wipe out the fridge door shelf) and the bathrooms. A.

Love the cottage stayed a few times and the boat house too, great layout and thoughtfully done, beautiful grounds to walk in and good facilities nearby. Friendly and helpful team on site. The bathrooms and kitchens are showing their age now and could do with a refresh to reflect the price of the accommodation, for example, in the kitchen new hard wearing work services - not wood, an intumescent hob and consider a new oven too. In the bathrooms the seals and fittings could be replaced if not more modern fittings with no pedestals to reduce future maintenance. There is an issue with the shower drain which smells. A.

It is also a beautiful unique cottage. The wifi was not working whilst we were there but the housekeeper did everything she could to try and get it working again however it wasn't a problem for us.

We want to stay here again, longer next time, and wouldn't mind buying or leasing Otter House if the occasion should arise. Anything that comes to mind would be too trivial even to mention. Our stay was perfect. J.
