What a beautiful day it is for a wedding here at our stunning 171 year old Church overlooking the banks of Loch Ness.

The sun is shining, the wind is low and it's just perfect for the lovely Amy and Carl who say I do today.

We couldn't do such beautiful weddings without our amazing suppliers

Absolutely thrilled to spot our very own Grant MacNicol Private Chef (and our kitchen) in the Scottish Field today.

For those of you who have experienced Grant here at the Old Manse, I'm sure you'll agree he's a fantastic chef, and for those who have yet to have a private dining experience whilst staying with us, this is the man behind the delicious menus.

Grant MacNicol is one of Scotland’s most respected culinary professionals, with a career spanning some of the country’s finest kitchens.

stayed away until after the gorgeous Caitlin & Callum said I do, this afternoon.

We are thrilled they chose our beautiful 171 year old church overlooking Loch Ness for their ceremony.

They were married by Alyson Stewart Humanist Celebrant photography was Abrightside Photography and they were piped by Bagpiper Jason Faulkner and the stunning floristry was the Bride's Mum, Auntie & Grandmother, the beautiful natural confetti was dried rose petals from Caitlin's Grandmother's garden.

We wish them a lifetime of happiness together ♥️

We are delighted to share that Highland-Escape has been named Best Lochside Retreat – Scottish Highlands 2025 by LuxLife Magazine.

This award is a testament to the breathtaking setting we are privileged to call home, the dedication of our team, and the warmth of every guest who chooses to spend time with us by the loch.

At Highland-Escape, our mission has always been to create a retreat that blends tranquillity, sustainability, and authentic Highland hospitality. To have this recognised on an international stage is both humbling and inspiring.

Thank you to LuxLife for this honour, and to our guests and community for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you to the lochside, where the Highlands reveal their magic in every season.

Autumn is now settling in here in the Highlands, the colours are stunning (the photos don't do them justice). The air is crisp, as are the leaves underfoot

Our cosy sofas to coorie (snuggle) into, in front of the log fires, with a Hot chocolate or a dram are a great way to unwind after a day of exploring the Highlands.

Limited availability for the rest of 2025, but the diary is open right through until 2027, so check out our website and book direct for your Highland Escape.
