A lovely cottage in a perfect location after a very long drive. mountain views from every window. Was very clean and tidy when we arrived. Around 10 minutes walk into Fort Agustus where there is Coffee shops .Takeaways a little Spar shop. Well worth a cruise on Loch Ness . If it is a negative first cottage we have stayed in where we haven't met the hosts.

An excellent cottage/bungalow in a great location.Loads of walks from the door or a short stroll to Fort Augustus centre to sit and while away a few hours watching the world go by.Cottage very well equipped, super comfy beds and very well stocked kitchen. Owners super friendly and available if needed.Do take a cruise on Loch Ness - well worth while (Nessie was very elusive!)Ripples tea room make the best scones we've had in a very long time - all made fresh each day.Dores beach well worth a visit - nice pub and pop-up cafe there although we didn't try anything (had just had Sunday lunch)A walk along the river Oich is well worth a couple of hours.If travelling further north then do try Glen Rowen for breakfast - only a 10-12 minute drive and excellent food at a good price.

Loved our stay here, it was comfy, cosy, and very clean. A quiet base off the main road. Kitchen really well stocked with pans etc and some basic items like oil and soap when we were there. Loved being able to walk to the canal, chip shop, cafe, pub, spa shop and crafty shops. Great off lead dog walking up the canal with trees and benches. Good base for loch ness, Inverness, Fort William, and glenfinnan. Thank you x
