About the local area

This is a fabulous area for the outdoor enthusiast. There are many lovely walks direct from the property. Crystal clear burns tumble through the rocks and at the end of the no through road is Loch Killin; a beautiful deep loch where you can fish for wild trout and arctic char, or just enjoy a quiet, secluded picnic on the banks. Fishing is also available on a variety of other local hill lochs and boats are obtainable from the hotel in the village, just 1 1/2 miles away. There are numerous places to visit locally. The charming town of Fort Augustus with its flight of canal locks, allowing small boats to descend into the Caledonian Canal, offers an excellent selection of interesting shops, small cafes and restaurants. Take a cruise from here through Inverness and indulge in a spot of 'Nessie' watching on the way. At the other end of Loch Ness is the stunning castle of Urquhart, situated on a promontory on the shores of the loch. Inverness, the capital city of the HIghlands is 25 minutes drive away. En route you can make a small detour to view the spectacular Falls of Foyers, which tumble dramatically down through mature woodland. Inverness has an excellent selection of shops and restaurants, a multimillion pound theatre complex, ice rink and wild water aqua dome. Golf, riding, mountain biking, climbing and a variety of water sports are all available in the area. This is an ideal base from which to indulge in a number of sporting activities or just relax, enjoy the scenery and get away from it all.
