Crianlarich Cottage is located in Fort Augustus, one of the prettiest small villages in Scotland. The village sits on the southern tip of Loch Ness surrounded by the magestic mountains that give the Highlands its name.
The accommodation comprises double bedroom and two twin bedded rooms, a large comfortable living room with cd player, tv and video tape player/recorder. Customers can choose to use the open coal fire or electric radiator. There are all-night storage heaters to keep the chill away should the Scottish weather necessitate it! In the large kitchen/diner there is a fridge, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker and microwave. There is parking for up to three cars if needed.
To keep your interest there are miles of walks in the forest and along the Caledonian Canal with plenty of wildlife and birds to spot. Boats offer tours of Loch Ness several times daily in season. Fishing for trout, salmon and pike is within a 5 minute walk with lots of places within easy reach. A 9 hole golf course is a 5 minute drive away.
You can drive to Inverness (32 miles north), Fort William (32 miles south) or over to the Isle of Skye (50 miles west) in an hour to an hour and a half. The village is ideally suited to exploring the wonderful country either by foot or vehicle.
“We love our home in the highlands and we hope you enjoy it, too. Here are some comments from previous guests...”
“We thought it was quite charming. It was very easy and accessible to the village and the people there were very friendly. We drove all over Scotland but Fort Augustus was our favorite. Be sure to eat at the Scots Kitchen!”
