In the scenic region of Inverness, Highland, Scotland, lies a charming vacation home known as The Old School, which has been lovingly transformed from its original purpose as a school dating back to the 1880s. This spacious family residence comfortably accommodates up to eight guests across four bedrooms—two doubles and two twin-bedded rooms—providing a perfect setting for family gatherings or group retreats. The interior showcases a wealth of original features, including a grand hall that measures approximately 30 by 18 feet, boasting a striking 14-foot high ceiling, a stone wall, and an inviting open log fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for relaxation and entertainment.
The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen-dining area, which also features an open log fire within a beautifully carved oak fireplace. This well-equipped space includes modern amenities such as dishwashers and fridges, along with elegant bone china and silverware for dining. The property is designed for comfort and convenience, with three bathrooms—one ensuite in the master bedroom and two on the ground floor, one of which includes a walk-in shower. Additional amenities include a utility room with washing machines and a tumble dryer, free WiFi, and a telephone available for local calls on an honesty payment basis, ensuring guests have everything they need for a pleasant stay.
Set within an acre of garden alongside the River Fechlin, The Old School offers a stunning natural backdrop. The river is abundant with wild brownies, making it an ideal spot for fishing enthusiasts, while a popular swimming hole is conveniently located just opposite the front garden. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife, with opportunities to spot red squirrels, stags, golden eagles, and even otters, providing a unique connection to nature. The picturesque Falls of Foyers and the famous Loch Ness are just a short distance away, enhancing the appeal of this idyllic location for outdoor activities and exploration.
For those seeking adventure, The Old School serves as an excellent base for a variety of local activities, including kayaking, mountain biking, and white-water rafting, with equipment rentals readily available. Guests can also enjoy leisurely pursuits such as painting or photography amidst the breathtaking scenery, hiking through the Monadhliath mountains, or simply unwinding with a good book. A five-minute walk from the property leads to the Whitebridge Hotel, which features a cozy restaurant and bar, offering a convenient option for dining out. With its combination of historical charm, modern amenities, and stunning natural surroundings, The Old School is an ideal retreat for those looking to experience the beauty and adventure of the Scottish Highlands.
