Wonderful small cottage in a great position in Fort Augustus. Very convenient base for exploring the western highlands.Loverly hosts made for a very enjoyable stay.
Lovely little cottage, clean and well equipped.Handy for the village amenities yet far enough away to be peaceful. Great base for exploring the Great Glen which oozes history, legend and beautiful scenery.
Excellent location for day trips. The hosts were very kind and went out of their way to make Sure, we were comfortable. I would highly recommend this incredible location.
An outstanding property in an idyllic setting on the Caledonian Canal. Amanda and Peter were superb hosts in every respect, from introduction to the accommodation to suggestions for trips and facilities in Fort Augustus and chatting in the lovely garden as we came and went. Thank you both very much for hosting ourselves and our two Beagles! It was a trip to remember and we would not hesitate to return!
Delightful cottageIt was like staying in someone's home, really cosy and comfortable, and a great location, with water on three sides, at the end of a no-through road. Just a short walk into Fort Augustus, a village with all the facilities you need. Peter and Amanda were great hosts, very friendly and helpful. Days out are possible in all directions, so plenty to see and do. We had great three weeks, and would love to return for another visit.
Great cottage in a superb location. Fantastic as a base for exploring the area during the day, either walking or further afield in the car and close enough to the pubs and restaurant for the evening.
Hosts were great.
We enjoyed our stay here a great deal. The position of the cottage is sublime and it is comfortable. The stairs are steep and some ceilings a little low but this is easy to cope with!The garden is beautiful too.
There are lots of nearby walks and good places to eat
Amanda and Peter are so nice and helpful. The Cottage is cosy and so beautiful. Its perfekt for trips to the highlands and around. We had a greatful time there and we will come back again.
We were very warmly welcomed in the cottage by Amanda and Peter, who gave us very clear and helpful information about the place itself and the surroundings. They made us feel very much at home straight away. We read the previous comments from other guests to figure out what to do for the few days we were staying in Fort Augustus, and followed Amanda and Peter’s advice on places to eat or to visit.The cottage is very cosy and warm, we felt at home and could very much have stayed here another three weeks, if we could have! Thank you again for letting us live, even for only a few days, in a very special place.
This is probably our favorite place that we have stayed in many years! The cottage was just beautiful with everything that we needed. The grounds were lovely and close to all the sites we planned to visit. The icing on the cake were the owners, Amanda and Peter. Made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived and throughout our stay! Don't miss this one!
Very nice and quiet accommodation in a busy little touristic place. Friendly and supporting hosts, we enjoyed our time very much.
Not suitable for people who need a lot of space.
Peter and Amanda are very attentive hosts. The location of the accommodation is brilliant. It is close to Loch Ness and the Caledonian Cannal. The garden is beautiful and can be used with pleasure. From here there are many possibilities to explore the surroundings.
We had a great time in this cozy and well-equipped cottage, which is nestled in a peaceful garden, a great spot to explore the outdoors and see some castles (there are several types of castles within a short distance).
Amanda and Peter are very friendly and understanding.
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Malt House. Peter and Amanda are gracious and friendly hosts! They chatted with us and gave us several hints on non-touristy places to visit. So peaceful and restful in this charming little town right on Loch Ness! I hope to return someday! Cheers!
The Malt house is a beautiful cottage nestling between the River Ness, Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal.
We had everything we needed and our dogs loved the immense garden and the amazing walks around Fort Augustus. The scenery is amazing and it’s the perfect location to plan any adventures. We went on the Jacobite Steam train from Fort Augustus to Mallaig enjoying the highlands and passing film locations from Harry Potter and Highlander.
A big thank you to Peter and Amanda for a warm welcome and the opportunity to stay at their lovely cottage.
Simply wonderful wee cottage in a stunning location with fabulous views up Loch Ness just around the corner. Good facilities in Fort Augustus. The owners were not at home but were in email contact regularly and could not have been more welcoming. We thoroughly recommend. David and Johanne.
