We had a great time at Pine Tops! It's a lovely place, really big and nicely equipped. Beds are comfy, kitchen, bathroom and shower room are big. The living area is huge and comfy. The property seems well insulated and we were not at all cold. The wifi is good. The cottage is a couple of miles from Fort Augustus. There are a few other properties arRead moreound, but it is quiet and a bit remote, it is beautiful and I really liked this, my wife not so much. There are red squirrels in the forest! Hide

This is a spacious, albeit rather dated, bungalow, located a good 2 miles out of Fort Augustus. It sits on a large garden block. Generally comfortable. Four of us stayed for 1 week while walking various sections of the Great Glen Way.

This was the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. It was spacious, cosy, and fully equipped. The kitchen was even better equipped than our own. The house has a huge garden with a most wonderful view. There is only one small point of criticism: the last part of the way to the house you is not very picturesque, as you pass a quite impreRead moressive substation in the middle of the wood But its really worth it. Pine Tops is a lovely place. Hide

One of the most comfortable cottages we have stayed in in Scotland. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and spotlessly clean thanks to Liz. Weather was fairly kind for October allowing us and our dog to enjoy the garden and the views. We highly recommend Pine Tops.

Lovely cottage in a great situation for exploring further north or Glencoe to the south. Far enough out of town to feel secluded but only 10 mins out of Fort Augustus. Would recommend.
