Property code: OC-82791

Set on the outskirts of Fort Augustus and within a couple of miles of Loch Ness, this property is ideally placed for exploring both the Highlands and the West Coast. Enjoy a boat trip or day cruise on the loch itself, and take a stroll along the Caledonian Canal with its many locks. The ruins of the historical Urquhart Castle in Drumnadrochit are also well worth a visit. The Great Glen Way runs from the north to the south of Loch Ness and is popular with cyclists and bikers alike. Fort William is just over thirty miles away, with Ben Nevis mountain range and the Jacobite Steam Train to name just two well-known attractions.

The bungalow entrance leads into a small utility area with a washing machine and a tumble dryer, which is convenient for leaving your muddy boots after a busy day of exploring. This leads through to a spacious kitchen with breakfast bar, electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. The lounge/diner is also large in size, with seating for six guests around the table. The sofas are placed around a cosy wood burner and TV/DVD, making it a lovely spot to spend your evenings. There are two sliding patio doors that lead out to the garden from this room, where you also have a great view of the bird feeders that attract lots of wildlife, including woodpeckers and red squirrels. Both bedrooms have use of a shower room and WC. The master double bedroom is spacious with an en-suite with bath, shower and WC. From this bedroom, glass doors lead out to the garden. Another double room and a twin complete the accommodation.

The enclosed garden is mainly laid to lawn and stretches to over half an acre. There are small patio areas with garden furniture where you can enjoy a seat in the sunshine whilst you dine alfresco. There is ample parking on the gravel driveway for three cars.

We had a great time at Pine Tops! It's a lovely place, really big and nicely equipped. Beds are comfy, kitchen, bathroom and shower room are big. The living area is huge and comfy. The property seems well insulated and we were not at all cold. The wifi is good. The cottage is a couple of miles from Fort Augustus. There are a few other properties arRead moreound, but it is quiet and a bit remote, it is beautiful and I really liked this, my wife not so much. There are red squirrels in the forest! Hide

This is a spacious, albeit rather dated, bungalow, located a good 2 miles out of Fort Augustus. It sits on a large garden block. Generally comfortable. Four of us stayed for 1 week while walking various sections of the Great Glen Way.

This was the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. It was spacious, cosy, and fully equipped. The kitchen was even better equipped than our own. The house has a huge garden with a most wonderful view. There is only one small point of criticism: the last part of the way to the house you is not very picturesque, as you pass a quite impreRead moressive substation in the middle of the wood But its really worth it. Pine Tops is a lovely place. Hide

One of the most comfortable cottages we have stayed in in Scotland. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and spotlessly clean thanks to Liz. Weather was fairly kind for October allowing us and our dog to enjoy the garden and the views. We highly recommend Pine Tops.

Lovely cottage in a great situation for exploring further north or Glencoe to the south. Far enough out of town to feel secluded but only 10 mins out of Fort Augustus. Would recommend.
