Stay on the outskirts of Fort Augustus and enjoy the wonders of the Scottish Highlands with man’s best friend at your heels. Sleeping six guests and an additional three dogs, this property is ideally suited to a family eager to explore the surrounding area on foot. Each and every member of the pack will find a comfortable space to rest and unwind after a long day of hiking, with your canine companions eagerly looking out for Scotland’s fascinating wildlife right here in the back garden.
Step inside and find yourself in a handy utility room with washing facilities, the ideal spot to stop off and wipe muddy paws and wet fur before venturing inside. The kitchen is a generous family space where meals can be prepared, whilst the open-plan lounge/diner offers the perfect spot to unwind together. Throw a log or two on the wood burner to create an ambient spot for pups to snooze, dreaming of the day’s adventure and walkies yet to come. Alternatively, throw open the French doors when weather permits and let your dogs roam free in the garden. Boasting over half an acre set to lawn, there’s plenty of space here for four-legged friends to run off some steam.
Pack hiking boots and tennis balls to sniff out some adventure nearby, discovering Fort Augustus and the banks of Loch Ness just 2 miles away. Enjoy waterfront walks and the chance to spot Nessie along the loch, or perhaps board a steamboat for a trip across the water. Set tails wagging with a walk along the River Oich (2.5 miles) or take a hike along the Great Glen Way. You might also prefer to jump in the car to venture a little further, discovering the world-famous Ben Nevis 30 miles away.
