Other places to stay in and around Spean Bridge
Achaneich Properties are two self catering accommodation units near the
village of Spean Bridge. They are set amidst some of the most spectacular
scenery in the Highlands of Scotland and enjoy a peaceful and secluded
location above the River Spean between the villages of Spean Bridge and
Roy Bridge.
Both buildings stand in the grounds of "Achaneich", Gaelic for "The place of the horses", an historic highland cottage with origins dating back to 1600.
The barn and stables, no longer used for horses, are believed to have been used by General Wade's forces during the Jacobite uprisings in the 18th Century.
