My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Malt House. Peter and Amanda are gracious and friendly hosts! They chatted with us and gave us several hints on non-touristy places to visit. So peaceful and restful in this charming little town right on Loch Ness! I hope to return someday! Cheers!

Peter and Amanda are very attentive hosts. The location of the accommodation is brilliant. It is close to Loch Ness and the Caledonian Cannal. The garden is beautiful and can be used with pleasure. From here there are many possibilities to explore the surroundings.

Fantastic wee place in a great location, the owners couldn't be anymore helpful

The property is homely, in a fantastic location next to the Lock, river and canal and the hosts are very helpful.

Beautiful cottage and location Small issue with Wi-Fi but didn’t spoil break and data worked

The property is beautifully located between a river and a canal just far enough from the centre of Fort Augustus to be secluded but still only a five-minute walk away. The hosts who were wonderful live in a separate part of the property giving us total privacy but came round immediately when needed. Be aware because of the entrance steps and the interior stairs it is not for those with balance challenges.

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting. Couldn't ask for better and would fully recommend!

Absolutely quiet flat with a garden to enjoy as well. Extraordinary location right at the shore of Loch Ness and perfect starting point for visits of Loch Ness Region, Inverness or the beautiful Glen Affric. Very friendly hosts who will be there for every help you might possibly need.

The pictures of the inside of the cottage do not do it justice. It has some new furniture and a quirky charm where the character has been carefully preserved. Really loved it.

As part of the historical Malt House of Fort Augustus, the renovated two bedroom cottage was a perfect place for short walks to the Caledonian canal locks and nearby restaurants and pubs (and longer walks down the canal footpath). Peter and Amanda are wonderful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and their hospitality.

We enjoyed the week we spent at the cottage. It was clean and perfect for what we needed. Our hosts were so wonderful and provided great hospitality. Would stay again!

We were met by a daughter of the owners who was quite happy to show us round even though she was studying. Peter and Amanda came in the evening to meet us and make sure we had everything. The Malt House is the perfect location for relaxing local walks with our four legged friend or exploring the countryside around. We were very sorry to leave at the end of the fortnight and can’t recommend the cottage highly enough. Thank you Peter, Amanda and family.

Amanda and Peter are wonderful and lovely hosts. The house is perfectly accommodated and equiped. Between the Canal and the river, looking over Loch Ness- unforgetable! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Greeted by lovely owners of the property who showed us around and gave us useful tips about the area. The cottage itself is probably situated in the best spot in Fort Augustus. The gardens are beautiful and very private. Just a gentle stroll to all the amenities and Loch Ness viewing point almost on the doorstep. A lovely cosy quiet cottage with everything you need for it to feel like a home from home. Would highly recommend.

This cottage made a great base for us to explore the highlands. The home was very comfortable. It was in a quiet location, but a quick walk to pubs, other eateries, and a shop.

The house was good, the location was fantastic, the garden was amazing but the staircase was dangerous in my opinion. Very steep, narrow and winding. My husband slipped twice (he is 75) so we decided to leave early because of this. I think it should be detailed on the description of the property. We mentioned it to the owner, but he replied that health and safety didn't exist when the house was built .

This cottage is so very quaint. The garden’s are lovely. Perfect position in Fort Augustus. Not far to walk to the shops. Everything you need. Would not hesitate to go back. If, however you are in need of the bathroom lots during the night and are unsteady on your feet, this may not be for you as the stairs are typical for a cottage and you may struggle. Also if you have very young children.

The cottage is perfect for 2 people, in my opinion. Any more than 2 would be an uncomfortable squeeze. The stairs are STEEP! Anyone with mobility issues would be wise to avoid, likewise be careful after a few G&Ts. Great hosts. Unfortunate weather for us as it rained the entire week but at least the cottage was homely.

Fort Augustus is very special place in of itself and the opportunity to stay at the Malt House tops it all off!! The perfect place to tour about & to return to the most peaceful spot ever. The gardens & house are so welcoming & it does become ‘home’ while staying there. Amanda, Peter & their son Andrew gave us an initial tour of the place… much appreciated and truly made us feel at home. A return visit is definitely in our future.

From the moment we got there we knew it was going to be perfect. The gardens are so lovely to enjoy early coffee or evening glass of wine. Literally a two min walk and your on the Loch we took our breakfast and one evening a bottle of fizz it was just the best location. The cottage is very homely & cozy. There are different couches from pictures which are very comfy. There is everything you need for cooking if you want to but if you don’t the boathouse is definitely worth booking and the local pubs are good too. We did get a Chinese takeaway & home made take away pizza from opposite the bank Scotland very tasty. From Fort Augustus you can visit loads of places Cairngorms was our favourite but you must see for yourself and do ask for directions for the local lock down walk it was nice to walk out the gate and leave the car behind. As you have read the malthouse had everything we wanted and more. Thank you Amanda & Peter.

A fantastic cosy little cottage that has everything we needed in a beautiful location we cannot recommend it high enough

Stunning location between the River Oich and the Caledonian Canal, just a stone throw from the western end of Loch Ness. This is a quaint and characterful cottage where we were able to enjoy a comfortable week. We were warm & cosy even on cool, damp spring days. Fort Augustus proved an ideal base for my walk along the Great Glen Way. The cottages location within walking distance of cafés and the local shops proved a great success.

A good base to explore the entire highlands area and Loch Ness.

Absolutely spotless cottage in the most amazing setting. Welcoming and informative hosts. The perfect place to explore the west coast and Fort Augustus is lovely 😊

- lovely walks + cycling. Fort Augustus is an ideal place with variety of eateries and check out the yoga lessons in the evenings at the village hall.

Was delighted with this cottage Postion of the property was first class and central to cover a huge area of the Highlands Local food very good and plenty of things to do and pass the day notwithstanding the weather Will be back

Perfect and unique location; a cosy comfortable house with a beautiful, large and private garden. Great local shops, pubs and places to eat. The house was only moments away from fabulous views of Loch Ness and the river and canal provide great places to explore. Great location for accessing the Highlands and remote glens such as Glen Affric. Easy journeys to both the east and west coasts and a pleasing place to come back to after a day out.
