Accommodation overview: The Boat House is the quintessential holiday retreat for couples.  Perched above the waters edge of Loch Fern it is difficult to know where to begin to describe this beautiful property and its unique location in a form that does it justice. It is set amidst stunning scenery and sits serenely on the shores of Loch Fern. To someone who hails from a city or large town this location would be almost spiritual to be so at one with nature, and The Boat House just blends in beautifully with the landscape. The Loch supports a variety of flora and fauna and the outlook changes with every passing season from a scattering of water lilies to the vibrant colours of the rhododendrons framing the loch. The mixed woodland adjoining The Boat House brings a vibrant display of colours especially during Autumn when the leaves change to reds and greens and russets. For those who are willing to sit quiet and be patient, the rewards can be priceless with glimpses of badgers, deer, otters, red squirrels and if you are lucky, ospreys.
