Fettercairn - Luxury 3 bed cottage, Fort Augustus

Description from the owner

Fettercairn was built in 2010 with the vision of creating modern, stylish and comfortable holiday accommodation. The cottage is set in its own private garden, surrounded by beautiful trees. Just a few minutes' walk away is the southern tip of Loch Ness, while the friendly, enchanting village of Fort Augustus has a good selection of bars, restaurants and convenience shops. Fettrcairn is your perfect base while you sample the many activities the Highlands of Scotland have to offer - a quality home from home.

Additional Location Information

It was the Caledonian Canal passing through Fort Augustus, with its dramatic lock gates stepping down to Loch Ness that helped bring peace to a troubled area. The canal connected the East Coast of Scotland to the West, bringing trade. No longer did the Engish Army need to be stationed here and so the 'fort' in Fort Augustus was redundant, eventually becoming the Abbey. Today, many a balmy summer day can be spent watching boats working the locks as they travel between Fort William and Inverness. There are some fabulous walks to suit all levels in and around Fort Augustus. Take the old tow path along the Caledonian Canal through to Kytra Lock and you will be rewarded with beautiful scenery, passing the canal on one side and the River Oich on the other. Jenkins Park is another great starting point. It's ideal for all ages and all levels of fitness, as here you will find long and short routes - all clearly marked through forestry plantation.

  Thoroughly recommended

  Having stayed in many other self catering cottages that look good on the web but fall short in reality - staying here was a real delight. Perfect for kids, great location, really comfortable and very enjoyable stay. Highly recommended - it really is as good as it looks...we will be returning in 2013.

  A Simply Outstanding Holiday Property

  Left on 09/20/2012 for a stay in July 2012
  
  

  We Stayed at Fettercairn for a week in July 2012 and found it to be simply outstanding, from the moment we arrived at the cottage until we left after spending a lovely and relaxing week not one person in our party could find no fault at all with the property. All appliances are off an excelent standard and all rooms are very tastefully furnished to a very high standard. The property is situated in an ideal position for walking into the village of Fort augustus where there are the usual shops, pubs and restaurants and fantastic views of loch ness and the caledonian canal. When we stayed at the property the owner just happened to also be spending some time in the village and she went out of her way to ensure that we all enjoyed our stay by making sure that everything was to our complete satisfaction which it was.
