About Janny's Cottage
Introduction
Janny's Cottage, in the tiny hamlet of Tomacharich, has wonderful views of the magnificent north face of Ben Nevis and the Nevis Range Ski Centre.
The cottage is located right in the middle of film locations that were used for Harry Potter, Braveheart, Rob Roy and the BBC TV programme 'Rockface'. It is also only about 35 miles from 'Monarch of the Glen' country.
This traditionally built cottage has been tastefully restored and equipped to a very high standard. Enjoy long summer evenings on the veranda and watch the sunset after a day exploring Loch Ness, Oban or the Silver Sands of Morar. In winter relax by the open fire after a day spent skiing or climbing in the nearby mountains.

Why Janny's Cottage?
The cottage stands adjacent to the former village schoolhouse. The school buildings would have been in the care of the caretaker or janitor, or the 'janny', as we called him when we were schoolchildren.
