Caledonian Canal Holidays

Unforgettable Destination
Staying on the Highland Lassie means experiencing one of Scotland’s most unusual and unforgettable destinations. Caledonian Canal holidays, near Inverness, will make your Highland break one to remember when you stay with us on our converted fishing boat. Take in the fresh Scottish air every day and relax with the background song of birds. Living on the water, even for a few days, can calm the nerves and help you rebalance. Doing it somewhere as beautiful as the Scottish Highlands means you can spend your days exploring the mountains, glens and rivers – or the shops in Inverness!
Below-Deck Cabins

Listen to the lapping water
Our below deck cabins, Ness & Oich, are currently being renovated to create a comfortable and immersive space to stay on your Loch Ness break. Our two cabins here will both have double beds, and full en-suite facilities. We include Arran Aromatics for you to make sure you are refreshed each day and ready to go on your Caledonian Canal holidays. Our quality double beds will be comfortable and include luxurious bedding to snuggle into each night. You might not even want to leave them. If so, that’s no problem! We also provide full Wi-Fi for you. If you want to leave your phone switched off but still want to be able to keep up with news, we can provide you with a tablet for your stay.
No windows below deck means you can truly switch off from the world. For company, you will have the sound of water lapping up against the side of the boat, and perhaps an odd owl or two hooting in the distance. How many other Inverness accommodation providers can boast that? Our below deck cabins are ideal for those who wish to stay somewhere a bit different for a time on their Inverness holidays, but who plan on getting out and about for most of the day. Bringing your car is no problem as we have parking next to the towpath.

This must be Inverness’ best kept secret, my wife and I each had three generous courses, the food, all locally sourced was cooked to perfection and was well presented. The menu although not extensive has something for all tastes and theres also a daily specials board. The venue is small and intimate, its comfortable and welcoming. The service was excellent. Well done I will definitely be back.
