Dreaming Big – Beside the Loch Hi there! We're thrilled to introduce ourselves as the new owners of Beside the Loch Ltd. We recently made the exciting move from bustling Brighton to charming Onich near Fort William, and we're excited to share this amazing place with you! Let's rewind a bit. Nick and I have been dreaming about running a holiday business for over 15 years when we embarked on a memorable trip to Slovenia, and stumbled upon a picturesque lodge named Nebesa, which means "Heaven" in Slovenian. And it really was Heaven. Nestled atop a majestic mountain in a place called Kobarid, we discovered our own slice of paradise. Dreams are an essential part of who we are. They ignite our spirits and make us feel alive. But for us, we weren't content with just dreaming—we had to turn our dreams into reality. Nick is from Edinburgh, and together, we share a deep love for the Highlands. Our quest for the perfect place to bring our dreams to life began 10 years ago. We looked at many properties, always hoping to find "the one"… Fast forward to today — and here we are. We've finally discovered our dream spot, and we can't wait to make it your dream destination too. Nestled beside a picturesque loch, our cottages and caravans offer an idyllic escape that's simply enchanting. Whether you're seeking tranquillity, adventure, or simply a change of scenery, we've got you covered. So, what can you expect from us? Warm hospitality, a friendly atmosphere, and a genuine passion for ensuring you have the most incredible experience. We're here to help you explore the breath taking beauty of this area, uncover hidden gems, and create memories. Nick, Esther, Hamish & Fraser x
