Boleskine House has won an award from top travel advice website Tripadvisor for the second year in a row.

The historic building, overlooking Loch Ness, was awarded the website’s Travellers’ Choice Award, which was handed out in recognition of the “high quality of experience that visitors to the historical site have had over the last year”.

Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10 per cent of properties on TripAdvisor.

“We are honoured to receive this award from Tripadvisor for the second year in a row,” said Keith Readdy, chairman of The Boleskine House Foundation SCIO, the registered charity that is restoring and preserving the historical legacy and heritage of the Boleskine House estate.

“Our goal is to offer an engaging and educational experience amidst the tranquil beauty of our estate. We are deeply appreciative of our visitors, whose support has made this possible. Thank you to everyone who has visited and shared their experiences on Tripadvisor.”

The foundation added that the Travellers’ Choice Award recognised the vast amount of work done not only to save the historical Boleskine House, which was severely damaged by a fire at the end of 2015, but to increase public access and enjoyment of an area of unsurpassed natural beauty and historical significance.

Over the last five years, the foundation said it had worked tirelessly to raise funds to restore the manor and re-establish the surrounding grounds for the benefit of the public. All proceeds raised from visitor tours go directly to the restoration of the house and surrounding grounds. For more information, or to book your tour, visit www.boleskinehouse.org.
