Fantastic property in a fantastic location!

Thank you Kyle for letting us rent your property for a much needed few days break! The property was fantastic, very spacious, very clean and in a great location to explore various parts of the Highlands! Being a short 10/15 minute walk to the bars, restaurants and shops in Fort Augustus was terrific too. At the end of busy days, the property was a great place to unwind and relax! Kyle was very helpful in all aspects of handling our booking. Thanks again and we’d love to book this property again on any future trips to the Highlands!!!

Short walk to Fort Augustus

The property was well situated for a short walk into Fort Augustus, the main road from the property to the village is quite busy and roads are narrow, worth being aware of. The property owner provided fantastic information about the property and local attractions/ammmenities. The perfect location for Highland exploration.

Good base for exploring the Highlands

We had a lovely stay at Kyle's property in Fort Augustus. The location was great for exploring the Highlands, as we were able to cover Loch Ness, Glen Affric, Glenfinnan and much more from there. It is within easy reach of Fort Augustus, with shops and restaurants. The property was clean, spacious and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore the Highlands.

Lovely property with great views. Perfect for our hiking trip. There is a slight smell of the property possibly having been smoked in previously but it’s not that bad. Facilities are good, showers, bath etc all have good water pressure. Good well equipped kitchen. Lovely veranda area to chill out on after a long day’s hiking. Would definitely stay again.

Spacious Home, Perfect Location in the Highlands!

This was our 4th stop on a 3 week tour of Ireland and the UK in March of 2016. Out of all the homes we stayed at this was by far the most spacious and modern. We had 4 adults and 1 child with us and this house gave us plenty of room to move around. The rooms were very comfortable! One of our favorite features was the enclosed front porch/sun-room. We spent most mornings sitting in the sun-room drinking coffee/tea and watching the fog on the hills. The landscape reminded me a lot of home and after being away for 3 weeks it was a welcome sight. The location of Fort Augustus was perfect for our sightseeing of the Highlands. Highly recommended stops near by - Urquhart Castle & Loch Ness, Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, Eilean Donan Castle, Glen Shiel, Glen Coe and the Glenfinnan monument. The home was very clean (minus a glass with dried up liquor and a lime at the bottom left in the kitchen; we did come in off season) and stocked with all the utensils we'd need. There is a small grocery store not far away; Fort Augustus was in walking distance and a very quiet, cozy town. If we ever get the chance to go back to Scotland we would love to stay here again!

Very spacious, well equipped property. Very quiet location and a good base for exploring.

A very relaxing stay at the end of August and weather was kind. Did some sight seeing and went on Rib excursion to see Urquhart Castle which was amazing. Go to the village of Dores which has stunning views from the shore right up Loch Ness and you can have a stop in the Village Inn next to the shore. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

Excellente

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, la location correspondait parfaitement à la description mise sur le site (équipements, propreté...) et étant 6 personnes (2 adultes, 3 ados et 1 enfant) nous avons bien pu profiter de tout l'espace mis à notre disposition. De plus, les informations très détaillées fournies par le propriétaire ainsi que son aide par téléphone nous ont été d'une très grande utilité. Je recommande sans réserves cette location

Lovely home from home, great base for exploring the highlands

We spent a week in July at Ard Beag - myself, my husband and our 3 daughters (aged 6, 4 and 1). The house is in a lovely location and is spacious and very well equipped, including a travel cot and a high chair for the wee one, as well as lots of dvds, games and cds. It's an easy walk into the centre of Fort Augustus, which is a lovely little town with plenty of options for eating out. It's also in a great location for exploring further afield - we visited Urquhart Castle, did lots of cycling in various locations and took a trip to Landmark Adventure Park. Kids were very sad to be heading home! I would thoroughly recommend.

Schönes Wohnzimmer mit Panoramafenster, gut ausgestattete Küche mit großem Esstisch, und ein großes Bad. Kann ich bedenkenlos für jeden empfehlen'

Property is gorgeous, immaculate and spacious and in a stunning location. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of room for a large group to cook and eat. Log burning fire in sitting room was a real treat on cold winter nights and view from living room window was stunning. Lots to see and do in local area. Loved long walks along the canal and live Scottish music sessions in local pubs. Would thoroughly recommend,

Wonderful cottage and location-best holiday ever!

I spent the 2nd week in October at Ard Beg with my family 2 teenagers, a 3 year old and a 9 year old, the house was perfect to suit our varied needs as there is 2 public rooms & a fantastic fully equipped kitchen & a separate huge utility room. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The en-suite and big bathroom, walk-in shower was perfect to assist us getting out early for the beautiful walks and surroundings that Fort Agustus has to offer.  We had fantastic weather so we only needed the heating on for an hour every morning, the house is so modern and wind type that this was more than enough. We used the woodburner at night more for the novelty rather than requiring more heat.The views from the front room are stunning and every time my grandson loked out he saw varying wild life at every turn. We took advantage and fully explored Skye, Annoch Mor, Cambustarach & Morar and Inverness (45 minutes away) the most fantastic swim centre with wave pool & flumes. At 1st I thought a week in the Highlands might be too long for the family but no this was a holiday full of comfort, adventure, everything & more was there at Ard Beg and the village itself is fascinating with the loch & the canal. The local produce was superb both at the garage & butcher & the village eateries. I have booked up for Spring as the kids all want to return asap. I would fully recommend this beautiful, modern yet fuill of character holiday home.
