Lage Top, Haus Flop
Unbequemes Mobiliar im Aufenthaltsraum, TV funktionierte nicht, Kontaktperson versprach Abhilfe, kam aber nicht und war dann telefonisch nicht mehr erreichbar.
Nice location in a lovely village where restaurants, shops and pubs close by. We all really enjoyed the week there.

We would stay here again - amazing location looking over the lock.
We would stay here again - amazing location looking over the lock. We did have major central heating issues - Mandy was great and gave us heaters and more firewood but we still had no hot water for a couple of days. It was clear they were trying to fix the problem but I guess a new boiler is needed. Didn’t put us off though - we would still go back.

A great place to stay!! We loved being right alongside the locks on the Caledonian Canal.
A great place to stay!! We loved being right alongside the locks on the Caledonian Canal. Fort Augustus is a great location as a base for exploring the Loch Ness area.
The cottage was comfy and warm. We travelled as a couple and the cottage sleeps 5. I think the kitchen facilities would be challenging for a family of 5. While adequate for 2 people the fridge, cooker and dishwasher are very small. Also the kitchen wasn’t as well equipped as others we have stayed in.
The WiFi worked well. The heating did not work on 2 mornings. We notified the caretaker and this was sorted by the afternoon. I have notified the property owners (European Waterways) who have assured me this problem has now been resolved.
We saw some amazing scenery and would definitely recommend this property.

A very pleasant Cottage with off road parking which was really helpful.
A very pleasant Cottage with off road parking which was really helpful. The Cottage is well managed by Mandy who is friendly and efficient. As with any holiday lets, maintenance is ongoing and some minor plumbing issues were being rectified. My daughter and I enjoyed it very much as its very peaceful with no passing traffic and access to the Canal towpath is outside the door.
Fort Augustus is a very nice location and we were pleased to be set back from the main hustle and bustle during the day.

Lochside was a comfortable place to stay. Fort Augustus was quite lively with the boats going through the locks. But the cottage was quite quiet.

everything was good about the accommodation; prime location and really felt at home.
everything was good about the accommodation; prime location and really felt at home. It is great to have a welcome supply of firewood but a local hardware store was great for us to stock up at a cheap price. the only trouble we found with the accommodation was the boiler. we were prewarned about the boiler which caused most of the showers and baths to have freezing cold water spoiling the experience slightly. Overall we had all enjoyed our stay.
