Andrew & Fiona Denovan
We love living at Holly Lodge and looking after it. We are a good team and feel honoured to live in such a beautiful building and to welcoming guests from all over the world to our home.
Andrew commutes to Inverness daily to work for the Highland Council. Our two boys attend the local primary school and enjoy all the various outdoor activities the area has to offer. Fiona has been in the tourism industry for many years and can tell you lots of secret and special places.
Walking through the leafy lanes of this conservation village is a joy whatever time of year.
