Customer Reviews of The Old Lock Keepers Cottage, Fort Augustus - Sleeps 4

1st comment: Ideal location to explore the highlands of Scotland. Lovely village with good restaurants and butchers. It was fun watching large boats go past the cottage window. The cottage was warm and cosy. Amazing scenery, some good walks close by. Wonderful. April 2012.

2nd comment: The property was in a perfect location for us right outside the lock gates so you could see all the boats going through, really interesting. Pubs/Restaurants all were withing walking distance all serving very good food with a friendly service. There were some excellent walks in the area which was perfect for us & our dog. All round it was an excellent property & location we will definately be back. My one comment would be for the advert for the property it doesn’t mention parking which could put people off. There is no parking adjoining the property but there is a layby opposite the cottage which you can park in for the duarion of the holiday & no other cars parked there but us for the whole week. Oct 2011.

3rd comment: The cottage was beautifully clean and warm when we arrived. Its position right on the Caledonian Canal is superb, giving excellent views of boats passing through the locks. Oct 2011.

4th comment: Excellent location. Comfortable property. Friendly owners. Aug 2010.

5th comment: Location & views were superb, immaculately clean. Not cosy - could do with central heating rather than storage heaters. Could have provided larger mugs and a better TV! Suggest they consider satellite (as most of the village already has it). Sept 2009

6th comment: The property was in a perfect position with beautiful views and easy access to local amenities. The two bedrooms were large and very comfortable. Sept 2009.

8th comment: Superb location. Homely. Delightful cottage. July 2009.

9th comment: Brilliant views of the boats going through the locks from the windows both in the lounge and the bedrooms. Plenty of walks around Fort Augustus, got an excellent map from the tourist office, the locals would stop to chat when we sat out front having a cuppa, all in all a very happy time spent at this cottage. July 2008.
