Inveroich has been a much loved family home for over sixty years and the present owners would like to share it with like minded, caring couples and small parties who would appreciate its charm, character and quality.

The property is situated in a unique and prime location at the head of Loch Ness. It enjoys uninterrupted and breathtaking views, being situated beside Loch Ness, the Caledonian Canal and the River Oich. Steeped in history, Inveroich was built as the Barrack Master's House for the old fort and is reputed to be the oldest house in Fort Augustus. A pre 1770 plan, reveals that this cottage was 'a keeping place for the malt', for the adjoining Brew House.

At the end of a no-through road, the house is within easy walking distance of Fort Augustus and all local amenities. There are pubs and tea shops, a park, tennis courts and a huge choice of walks through forestry land, along the canal tow path or up in the hills. Loch and river fishing are readily available, together with boat and fishing trips on Loch Ness.

Inveroich is decorated and furnished to an exceptionally high standard. The rooms are all light, airy and spacious and both bedrooms, the kitchen and the sitting room all boast uninterrupted views of the garden, looking across to the historical Fort Augustus Abbey.
The house sits within a large, very private and well kept walled garden.

The Malt house is a beautiful cottage nestling between the River Ness, Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal. We had everything we needed and our dogs loved the immense garden and the amazing walks around Fort Augustus. The scenery is amazing and it’s the perfect location to plan any adventures. We went on the Jacobite Steam train from Fort Augustus to Mallaig enjoying the highlands and passing film locations from Harry Potter and Highlander. A big thank you to Peter and Amanda for a warm welcome and the opportunity to stay at their lovely cottage.

We spent 5 days in this authentic Scottish cottage. A wonderfully comfortable retreat with lots of attention to detail. We were warmly welcomed by Peter and Amanda and were able to enjoy the beauty of their garden. The electric blankets in the bed were a highlight, so you could slip into a cozy warm bed. Theoretically, Fort Augustus is a tourist hotspot, but you don't notice it through the walls of the property. Either way, we often went on day trips to the Highlands during the day to avoid the peak times. From evening until early in the morning, Fort Augustus was very idyllic. And the location is unique. So close to Loch Ness and at the same time in the heart of the Highlands, so you could go on day trips in all directions. We could have stayed much longer in this beautiful and lovely vacation home.

This is probably our favorite place that we have stayed in many years! The cottage was just beautiful with everything that we needed. The grounds were lovely and close to all the sites we planned to visit. The icing on the cake were the owners, Amanda and Peter. Made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived and throughout our stay! Don't miss this one!

Very nice and quiet accommodation in a busy little touristic place. Friendly and supporting hosts, we enjoyed our time very much. Not suitable for people who need a lot of space.

We had a great time in this cozy and well-equipped cottage, which is nestled in a peaceful garden, a great spot to explore the outdoors and see some castles (there are several types of castles within a short distance). Amanda and Peter are very friendly and understanding.
