About the Creator
I’m Zara Wildon—a writer, wanderer, and lifelong lover of quiet places. Though I live in Dublin, my heart has always belonged to the Highlands. After years of searching for the perfect Loch Ness escape—only to find too many generic brochures and overhyped reviews—I decided to create something different. Loch Ness Retreat began as a personal journal of my favorite spots, and grew into a resource for others who crave depth over dazzle.
Why This Website Exists
I created Loch Ness Retreat because I believe travel shouldn’t be about checking boxes—it should be about connection. The legend of the Nessie is captivating, but the true magic lies in the silence between the pines, the warmth of a local pub owner’s smile, and the way the mist lifts just enough to reveal a hidden cove. This site exists to honor that quiet beauty.
Our Values
We prioritize authenticity over popularity. We never accept paid promotions. Every recommendation is based on personal experience, local feedback, and a deep respect for the land and its people. We support small, family-run businesses and sustainable tourism practices. Our goal? To help you leave with more than photos—you leave with peace.
