Access Statement
This access statement does not contain
personal opinions as to our suitability for those with access needs,
but aims to accurately describe the facilities and services that we
offer all our guests/visitors.
Introduction
We are situated in a quiet position on the edge of Fort Augustus
village. We have rural views of fields and hills to the front and the
Golf Course and the Caledonian canal is behind us. Just a 10 minute
walk to the village along a well lit tarmac path with gradual
inclines up and down. 2 minutes by car.
3 steps up to our
front door but once inside we have 5 bedrooms, 3 of which are on the
ground floor with level access to the dining room and outside

We serve a choice of 4 different breakfasts and use
local ingredients where possible. We make our own Scotch pancakes and
serve jams home made from damsons and plums grown in our own garden.
We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any queries or
