A beautiful cosy cottage in a good location with an easy 15 minute walk into Fort Augustus with shops, pubs & coffee shops.Although secluded, a blind at the bathroom window would have been appreciated. Bigger signs to direct drivers to the cottage from the main road would also be helpful especially when arriving in the dark. One thing for anyone going to this lovely cottage - ensure you have a torch for dark morning or nights. And if you’re taking a dog keep them on a lead - bunnies, pheasants & sheep kept our spaniel occupied! Otherwise the cottage thoroughly met our needs and we were able to explore the beautiful Loch Ness & its surroundings.
