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

The stay was terrific. We had a great time watching the loch in action from our room. Modern furnishings and great service. They have everything set up so well. It was a favourite stay on our highland travels.

Perfect location! Not all rooms have access to the advertised terrasse, perhaps that could be made a bit more clear. I assumed it is a shared facility when I booked this place.

Liked: Cleanliness
Great location overlooking the bottom of the canal locks. Rooms okay and well equipped, including a small fridge. Check in not great. Supposed to be from 4.30pm but at 5pm, door still said "no check in, still preparing rooms", where it remained for several more hours. Eventually we ignored the sign, let ourselves in and all was set up - no cleaners anywhere. Disappointing start.

Nice, clean and convenient. The room was modern and seemed new. The host gave excellent instructions about getting in the room since there are not staff on site. I would definitely recommend.

Loved this property! Check in is unique but there are very clear instructions and free parking just down the street. The restaurant is great and we sat out by the water outside. Great smoked salmon and egg breakfast. Also ate at the Old Boathouse down by the water which was great! Fort Augustus is a cute little town with little shops and restaurants. Saw the locks in action the morning that we left as well which was very cool to witness! Would stay here again for sure.
