The cottage is absolutely stunning. Everything you need, very clean, while there i tried to book more dates, but sadly there fully booked.
I can't say I didnt like it, but signal wasnt great to get instructions for entering the property, so had to sit in the car for a little while to recieve the text. Maybe send it through booking the day before?

Location, house
No personal meet upon arrival, neither short introduction of house. We asked Mark, the contact person to meet us,, none of 3 evenings was available. We had to buy our own dry wood, down at the petrol station, to be able to run the fireplace. Upon arrival heating in house was down to 17 dgrs, extremely cold house, fireplace not working with wet supplied wood

They say you get what you pay for and you mostly certainly do at this property - everything you could possibly need, along with the most perfect location!
The property was immaculate, and the owner couldn't be more accomodating .. also loved finding out the history behind the property.
I certainly will be returning and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!!
No complaints whatsover ....

Cosy, private, well laid out and lovely decor. Whole place was immaculate. Had everything we needed to have a chilled out and comfortable weekend stay. Space for parking. 5 minute walk to shops/restaurants/pubs. Communication with owner was also excellent, would stay again.

The house is absolutely gorgeous, in a stunning location and very well equipped. It feels really cosy and homely.
The views out of the living room window are absolutely lovely.
We managed loads of walks in the area and happened to get pretty lucky with the weather.
The shower is great, super hot and really good pressure (the towl heater was alway on too, which was a lovely touch!)
Fully equipped kitchen which made eating in really easy. Brilliant wi-fi!
Weirdly, the thing that impressed me the most was the bedding! So soft and luxurious.Also, thank you for the heavy curtains! Not always a given, but really help with a good night's sleep. The house was spotless, really nice and clean...ready to enjoy. Mark was great, easy to contact and helpful.
I'm sorry to read in other reviews that the information booklet has been stolen... it really would be useful. Some things are just not intuitive (tv/washing machine) though we did work them out. Maybe a QR code to instructions?
It would also have been nice to find a couple of other "bits" on arrival (we bought fabric softner and washing liquid but used the washing machine once).
Definitely not complaints, just suggestions for an EVEN more enjoyable stay.

Location was excellent! So easy to get into Fort Augustus to explore and easy to get onto any motorway to explore a little farther afield. The view of the mountains from the back of the property was lovely too. Loved the layout with open concept living and kitchen facilities and although not needed, the included washer and dryer was a great touch. Mark was easy to contact and responsive. We would HAPPILY stay there again if we're back in the area.
FYI, a throw or blanket would be a nice addition for cuddling while watching telly :)
The only downsides would be to have a space for clothes. Hangers are provided but you cannot hang all your clothes. We managed to use the window ledges to keep our clothes on but had we been staying for longer than 2 nights, we would have needed more space. We also had issues with the TV/remote. The TV could not be turned off via the remote, we had to turn off the power via the outlet. Outside of this, the property was fabulous. We really liked the place!

We were accused of damaging a work surface which we did not do which rather upset the holdauLovely place

The property is finished to a very high standard & is perfect for relaxing after a busy day out & about.
On arrival there was an issue with the toilet flush, however the owner responded instantly when I contacted them & arrived a few minutes later to fix it.

Location of this property is superb. Definitely better than staying at Fort William!
It was ideal for the two of us and thoughtfully designed and kitted out.
A short walk (down a steep slope) the the canal and local facilities.
Easy parking
A name on the front of the property - I had to take a peek in the mail box and check a letter to ensure I had the correct address.
Being a little picky (sorry) perhaps a tab/capsule to do a clothes wash? There were tabs for the dishwasher which were greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately found the bed extremely uncomfortable, great shame as fantastic otherwise

The Old Croft is a wee gem. It's amazing value for money, and in a great location: just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Fort Augustus with it's shops and eateries, but tucked out of the way in a quiet spot w its own parking. The property was spotless, with bright modern furnishings, and all the homely touches you need including brand new kitchen and bathroom with an amazing shower, and fresh bright bedding and super soft towels. It also had a beautiful character with its stone walls and wood burner. It was snug, relaxing and very comfortable. We loved it.
I struggled to get the TV to work (total user error 🤣) but host Mark promptly responded to my message and we got it sorted within minutes.

It was clean, tidy and well maintained. Very quiet and off the beaten track
Tv was a little awkward but we did manage to get some films on it

Amazing location, beautiful views, really well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge area.
Host was really helpful and responsive.
The only slight thing was that there was very limited clothes storage (hooks and coat hangers only). A small chest of drawers would have really helped.

We loved the real fire and a good amount of logs were left. The place was spotless and well equipped.
Would have liked some instruction booklets for kitchen equipment and there was no welcome / local information book. The one thing we really struggled with was the bed it is just a standard double which is unusual these days and it affected our sleep with the lack of room.

Loved everything. The style, the location. They thought of everything. Perfect for a couple to get away. Loved the wood burning fire place. Kitchen has everything you’d need. Hosts were quick to respond to questions. Easy to find and get in as we arrived late Friday night. Will definitely come back and 100% recommend.

The Old Croft was beautifully decorated and had great self catering facilities, including a large wood burner which made outlet stay extra cosy. The cottage was in a great location close to local shops and pubs. It’s only a short walk to amazing views of Loch Ness. We would definitely stay

De sfeer van de cottage. We zochten een sfeervolle accommodatie die paste bij de Schotse Highlands en daar voldeed de Old Croft zeker aan.
Het huisje was schoon, de keuken met pannen, servies en ander toebehoren was meer dan compleet. De douche was lekker en er lag voldoende hout om de openhaard aan te steken. De communicatie met Mark, de host, was duidelijk zonder dat wij hem gezien hebben.
Er waren grote handdoeken en kleine handdoeken om mee te douchen. De kleine handdoeken waren wat klein waren om de haren mee af te drogen.
Er is geen kledingkast

Bellissimo mini appartamento ristrutturato con cura e attenzione a tutti i dettagli. Quello che abbiamo trovato era assolutamente conforme alla descrizione del proprietario. La casa è dotata di tutti gli elettrodomestici e di tutto ciò che che serve per rendere piacevole il soggiorno nella struttura. Ottima posizione a Fort August sufficientemente distante dal centro per non risentire dei rumori del traffico e dell'affollamento, sufficientemente vicino al centro facilmente raggiungibile con una breve passeggiata. Host cortese e disponibile anche se dopo la consegna non abbiamo mai avuto bisogno del suo supporto visto che la struttura era completa di tutto

Uns hat alles gefallen. Tolle, geschmackvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft
Der Härtegrad der Matratze hat leider für uns nicht gepasst. Es fehlt ein Kleiderschrank oder eine Kommode.
