The Coltsfoots, Fort Augustus

Sleeps 4 - Wood Burning Stove - 2 Pets Welcome

The Coltsfoots is situated in a quiet woodland setting, just a short distance from the village of Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness. The area is popular with guests due to its close proximity to the loch. However its central location is an ideal base for guests wanting to visit the west coast, the Isle of Skye, and the Fort William and Lochaber areas, all of which can be reached within an hours drive.

This stunning property was designed and imported from Sweden. The accommodation is all on the one level and consists of a modern lounge complete with a wood burner, a well equipped dining kitchen and two bedrooms which both have en-suite shower rooms. The property has been equipped and furnished to a high standard by the owners, and the bedrooms are equipped with super king, zip and link beds which depending on your needs can be made up as a super kings or twins.

Outside the property and with direct access from the lounge, guests will find a large balcony  complete with garden furniture and a separate garden area. The garden is a haven for wildlife, and the balcony is an ideal place to sit and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet and the properties location right on the doorstep of the forest.

Fort Augustus itself is within a ten minute walk and has a small selection of shops, pubs and a few restaurants. The village is at the southern end of the renowned Loch Ness and it is here that the loch joins the Caledonian Canal. The canal itself runs from Inverness in the North East to Corpach near Fort William in the South East. The canal links the various lochs on the route and once completed avoided the necessity of boats traveling around the north of Scotland and through the notorious Pentland Firth. The busy lock system at the heart of the village is an excellent place to sit and relax and watch the many boats passing through.

For experienced walkers Ben Nevis and for mountain bikers and skiers the Nevis Range at Aonach Mor are within an hours drive. Even in the summer months the skiing area is well worth a visit, the gondola trip to the top of the mountain offers the chance to enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. The area is also extremely popular with mountain bikers having previously hosted the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in 2010. Ben Nevis itself at 4409ft is the highest of all the mountains in the British Isles and attracts many thousands of walkers every year, eager to reach its peak. 

Another place that attracts walkers is The Great Glen Way, this 73 mile walking route runs from Fort William to Inverness and passes through the village of Fort Augustus. The majority of the route is low level following towpaths and woodland tracks so is ideal for any ability of walker. To complete the route in full it is advisable to allow 5-6 days, however equally enjoyable is perhaps to walk part of the route such as from Fort Augustus to Drumnadrochit.

Stayed in Coltsfoots last week, it is our 4th time staying, and probably not our last This is a great cabin, nicely furnished, and in a great spot. 5mins walk from Fort Augustus village, but you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere, very peaceful Nicely situated for exploring the highlands, Inverness or even a day trip to Skye. We visited Fort William and the ski resort too 5* recommendation
