Great location in the heart of Fort Augustus but also set in it's own substantial grounds making it a quiet and tranquil location. The apartment was well equipped, warm and comfortable. Access to the facilities (swimming pool, gym, tennis etc), was well organized, and all were conveniently located. Fort Augustus itself is set in a beautiful location with plenty of amenities close by. Would definitely return when the opportunity arises.

The staff were exceptionally nice. The room was clean. Plenty 9f parking. Breakfast was good. But the evening meals were expensive and not as good as I would expect given how much they cost. We had our last meal there and as I'm a vegetarian, I'm limited anyway. They could not adjust I was told as the meals came ready made - so microwave food for £15 to £20. I ended up getting soup.
