Your Space

Designed with the same attention to detail seen throughout all WildLand properties, Tigh na Coille features elegant shared spaces to gather, feast and play and quiet corners to rest and daydream.

Each of the four individually designed bedrooms carries the house’s blend of traditional Highland and calming Scandinavian interiors. The result is a series of unique and harmonious spaces that offer a peaceful night’s sleep and delightful morning views.

Food for the soul

Gather around the handmade dining table or step outside to the terrace beneath the trees. At Tigh na Coille food becomes an invitation to slow down, share, and savour the Highlands.

Within this elegantly restored manse-house, the kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for gathering loved ones, while the dining room’s large handmade table frames views of woodland and loch.

Whether you’re crafting a relaxed supper from local produce or lighting the Big Green Egg on the terrace for an alfresco feast, every meal here is rooted in place, warmth and ease, quietly marking the return home after a day in the hills.

Things to do

Perched on the hillside above Loch Ness, the surrounding area is steeped in mystery and natural beauty. Venture down to the lochside or up into the wooded hills. Visit castles and cairns, or sample traditional Scottish fare.

It is a simple, grounding ritual that reflects the calm and wooded beauty of Tigh na Coille, easing you into the day at a slower, more thoughtful pace.
