This was an excellent property which we would happily stay in again. Well maintained, spotlessly clean and comfortable. You also could not ask for a more centrally located apartment in Fort Augustus, with all its amenities on your doorstep. However I have dropped a star as we were not provided with the door access code or room, as promised, on the day of our arrival. In fact we never received this information at all! Thankfully the very friendly cleaner provided us with access to our room. Had she not been there we would have had to make phone calls etc, which is an inconvenience, and not how it’s supposed to work.

Busy check in with such a late check in time at 4pm - felt very rushed to get in, and had people piling up behind us. Then rushed again to get out by 10am. Really doesn't feel like value for money to have such a late check in and early check out. Balcony of Loch Lochy not private and our bathtub was clearly visible to those on the next door balcony. Good view of the canal though and fairly comfortable bed. Very quiet room.

The room was nice in terms of appearance. But the emergency light went off for no reason in the middle of the night and kept us up for a while until we found something to cover it with.
The mattress in our room was well worn and had a big dip on one side making it hard to get comfortable on that side.
Check in isn't until 4:30 but the majority of the shops close at 5. You need to get here early.
Fort Augustus doesn't really have that much to offer. It was nice to walk around a little and see the Loch Ness but I would not recommend staying here overnight. We stayed in 6 different cities while in Scotland and this is the only town I would skip if I could do it again.

This accommodation had no parking and we were given no advice where to park. Had to ask a shop keeper where we could park our car overnight. Hallway in accommodation was so dark we had to find a torch to open the key safe. Check in time is ridiculous at 4.30pm considering you then have to leave no later than 10am the next day. Only one chair in the room when it was a double room. Mattress needs replaced as it has 'roll together'.

It was explained but parking is not ideal in rainy weather.
There was no light at the entrance door to easily see the code needed to input to access the building.
The room was nice, a standing bathtub, had what appeared to be rust stains, in the main bed part of the room. The TV mount reaching around a corner would have been nice.

The biggest downfall was it is right on the main road next to a steal bridge, the whole room shuttered and shook everyone a lorry drove over the bridge and that's when they drive, night time. Very hard to sleep.

The food offering in the village at night time is very poor, if not non existent.

The flat we stayed in was super quiet and clean. We had tea/coffee left in the room. Our dog also enjoyed his stay we didnt require the dog bed available as he tends to shred them but it was a nice option to have.

I could not imagine staying anywhere else as location was perfect. Although there was two of us we reserved the family room that had a bunk bed in there as well. Also a benefit was the balcony that you could go out or leave open for the fresh crisp air. We had the top corner room overlooking the canal and if you can reserve this one as you had canal view as well as out to the Loch Lthough not a full view.
Petrol station around the corner was also a supermarket and pharmacy and alcohol could be purchased.
Plenty of places so close to eat but do try the Morehouse past the boat tours as the view was amazing

We could watch the lock operating from our window. Very central. Room was large. Downside was quite late check-in - 4:30pm was what was on the email, though we got in just before 4pm. Parking is difficult - we found free space further down the street the accommodation was in, but you can't park outside, and if there is nothing close you have to pay in the big carpark and then trundle your luggage through town (not so great in the rain).

Our room Loch Oich overlooked the swing bridge and 1st loch. Ideal for Loch watching.

Bathroom great, modern. Ample tea, coffee sachets, milk, sugar etc. Fridge. Nice decor. Everything worked. If we were staying in the area would stay here again. If cycling there is secure bike storage up the stairs, in an outside patio area.

Unfortunately because all the emails did not come through in the order they instructed, and not having a phone allowing me to dial the “emergency” number on the door, we were unable to enter our room and had to find accommodations elsewhere. Since we’ve been traveling for a month, I was unable to print off emails to keep in my folder of reservations and found the email with the room code dated two weeks earlier instead of two days after the email telling me to expect in two days. Shame because area was gorgeous with all kinds of places to eat.

The room itself was even better than the pictures, the finishings and detail were great ans the space itself was very relaxing and benefits from a lovely outdoor terrace with table and chairs.

We enjoyed watching the sunrise and the lovey views from here with a coffee.

This area did have a divider between the other rooms terrace and ours and I think we would have preferred if it was a little higher for privacy, but that’s our own preference and also due to us having our dog with us.

Tea and coffee were delicious!

Fort Augustus stay.

The Rooms werw nicely appointed and a good size. We did have an issue regarding the emergency light coming on in the middle of the night and stayed on for 3 hours. As there are no staff on site to resolve the problem we had to improvise as it could not be turned off remotely. The employee we contacted was as helpful as she could be from a distance and we were given a bottle of Prosecco as an apology. Though we were told its not the 1st time that this has happened in one of the rooms so may need to have a plan in place should it happen again. Once again the member of staff was lovely and did what they could so no complaint regarding her service at all. More to do with their proceedures especially as not staff local to resolve any issues immediately.
It would not stop me staying again if we were planning to visit the area again.
