Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen T. 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Taigh na fraithe We stayed for one week in fort augustus and had a fabulous time. The property is well equipped and a perfect location for exploring the surrounding Highlands. Fort Augustus is a lovely village with all the local amenities you could require.Supermarkets like Aldi or Morrisons are in Fort William which takes about 40 mins travel time...you can book a delivery slot however we were unable to get one for 14 days so I would suggest organising this in advance or taking shopping. That being said you can get shopping locally just not the selection or cost you are used to paying. We took our English bulldog and the property was very dog friendly, the surrounding areas too..Lots of pubs and cafes to sat outside 😑. Kyle and Nick were really helpful however we had no problems with this property. Thanks for a lovely stay! ##### Helen T.

Plenty of parking and although close to a main road, you don’t notice any traffic noise. Ideal location for heading up to Loch Ness or down to fort William on some incredibly scenic drives. The property has every thing you might need for a short trip and we loved every minute of our stay here. ##### Dale S.

Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadine H. 15 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy wooden Cabin - Taigh Na Frithe We really can recommend this cozy cabin. It was very clean and well furnished to feel right at home. You've all you wish for a stay. We cooked fresh every morning and evening and didn't miss anything. The fridge is big to store a lot of fresh food and beside that you have an hob/oven, microwave, toaster and kettle. Washer/Dryer is perfect for longer stays especially when the weather is hot and you need to wash some clothes. The living area with it's comfy lether couch is great for watching movies in the evening and it's possible to connect your own netflix, amazon, etc accounts with the TV. For music there is a docking station. Wifi worked great. The big shower with good water pressure is great to get a hot shower after a long day in the hills to relaxed your muscles. The bed is huge....you can get lost in it.😂 And comfy of course. The lights on the night stands are cool! Neighbourhood is very quiet. Fort Augustus centre is only 10 minutes away by foot. With car only 3 minutes. At Fort Augustus you have a small supermarket, gas station and some good shops. You can book cruises at Loch Ness, search for Nessie or enjoy the great woodland walks around Fort Augustus. The butcher's Black Pudding and Haggis is very good. Cheesy Fries at the Lock Inn are always great. Taigh Na Frithe is a perfect location, a cozy retreat for couples who want to explore the Highlands and have everything on hand you need for. We loved our stay and will come back some day. Thank you very much! ##### Nadine H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 15 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful cabin beautiful location Stayed here for a couple of nights in mid summer. Beautifully maintained, huge comfy bed, top shower which is vital after a day of kayaking or mountaineering. All the mod cons, so can really settle in and make it your own. 5\*\*\*\*\* ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
