Based in the picturesque village of Fort Augustus in the Scottish Highlands, this charming holiday property accommodates up to four guests across two spacious bedrooms. Its prime location allows for easy access to local amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. The cottage retains many original features, such as an open stone wall around the fireplace, exposed beams throughout the ground floor, solid wooden flooring, and deep window sills, all contributing to its rustic charm.
The property is thoughtfully designed over two floors and is well-equipped for a comfortable stay. It benefits from modern conveniences, including oil central heating and double glazing, ensuring a cozy environment regardless of the season. The exterior boasts private off-street parking capable of accommodating several vehicles, alongside a decked seating area complete with a BBQ, perfect for enjoying both morning and evening sunlight.
Inside, the spacious lounge features a wood-burning stove and a smart TV, creating a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven, gas hob integrated into the island, washing machine, microwave, and ample storage space. Traditional pine dining furniture complements the kitchen's aesthetic, while a convenient area under the stairs is ideal for storing coats and shoes after outdoor adventures. The ground floor also includes a family bathroom equipped with a shower over a large corner bath, washbasin, and w.c.
Access to the upper floor is via a newly installed staircase that leads to a sizable landing area with two large double bedrooms, both overlooking the parking and decking area. While the staircase is beautifully crafted, it is important to note that it is quite steep. This well-presented stone cottage serves as a delightful holiday home for those seeking an authentic experience in the heart of the Great Glen, with nearby attractions such as the Clansman Centre and the Invergarry & Fort Augustus Railway Museum, as well as family-friendly activities at the Great Glen Water Park.
