perfect location
The property is beautifully located between a river and a canal just far enough from the centre of Fort Augustus to be secluded but still only a five-minute walk away. The hosts who were wonderful live in a separate part of the property giving us total privacy but came round immediately when needed. Be aware because of the entrance steps and the interior stairs it is not for those with balance challenges.
