This lovely cottage was even better than i had expected. The cottage is more than roomy enough for the 4 adults in our family and would have accommodated another 2 easily. We could walk down a path at the waters edge and be in the heart of the village in 3 minutes.
We have been to Fort Augustus many times but this cottage is the best we have ever stayed in great location like home from home thank you for a wonderful stay
Home from home, very well equipt, very clean, plenty of room
Location was great, you can sit in quite to stare at the river, you can be a little nosy as you watch people across the water....we even saw a wedding party, or you can walk about 3 minutes into the village to the local pubs.....brilliantđ
Felt at home straight away. Ideal location in quiet, rural area. Comfy beds, plenty of space for the five of us inside and out, cleanliness throughout. Lovely watercolour oaintings throughout the property. Were these paintings done by a family member ? Lovely to watch wildlife from the window and to get visits from the friendly neighbouring cat.
Lovely cottage in great location on the banks of where River Oich enters Loch Ness and two minutes walk from Fort Augustus village centre. Cottage was very clean and comfortable and check-in and out was easy. Lucy the property owner was lovely to deal with and very helpful and it was a privilege to stay at her property which I know has been in her family for generations. Alison and Dave the property manager s were lovely and really helpful too. Thank you to you all for helping to make our holiday such a great one. We honestly couldnât find a nicer place to stay and I very much hope we will be able to stay there again in the near future..
Fantastic home. Spacious, clean, comfy, and in a superb location. All amenities are modern and in good condition. From there it's easy to explore the western isles, Cairngorms, Inverness, and Loch Ness areas. Host was easy to contact and instructions were clear and accurate. When checking out, asks guests to remove bedding, towels, bath mats and put in bag; take all trash to the bins; take glass recycling to town car park; clean wood stove if used. Overall a gem!
The photos of the cottage are great but they do not do the location the justice it deserves. The setting of the cottage is stunning and very quiet despite being so close to Fort Augustus.
The cottage has everything you would need for a great holiday.The garden is lovely, and it was great to just sit and watch boats going in and out of the canal, to use the locks.
Fort Augustus is very quaint, we enjoyed going to The Lock Inn, and you can sit outside right beside the lock.
Highly recommend Lilybank.
Lily bank is well situated for access to Fort Augustus.The house does need some repair to the TV as the arial is damaged and we were unable to watch the TV even if we wanted to. It was good to see the grass getting cut for the first time when we were there, as the garden was looking very unkempt. when we arrived. The beds were very comfortable and all slept well during the week. Some of the crockery might need updating but that did not stop us from enjoying of week in Lilybank.
The property was as described. Had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. Large enough to allow us to have family stay for the weekend. 2 large doubles and a lovely twin room. It was great having the en-suite in the main bedroom and separate bathroom for guests, plus a downstairs toilet. Very comfy beds, cosy sittingroom and the kitchen diner is where we spent most of our time when in the house. Shops, pubs and eateries were all within easy walking distance. The house is situated at the end of lane by the river in an extremely quiet area with beautiful views. Woke up every morning to birdsong. Good parking area for 2 cars. Really nice place to stay, we will certainly be back again. Thank you. Kind Regards, M & S Burgess, Shetland.
Wir haben zu fĂŒnft eine Woche in dem traumhaft schön gelegenen und sehr gut eingerichteten Lilybank in Fort Augustus verbracht.Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig direkt am FluĂ mit Blick auf Loch Ness. Einkaufsmöglichkeit und Restaurants sind in wenigen Minuten erreichbar - perfekt!Auch das Haus ist perfekt! GroĂ und sehr schön eingerichtet. Uns hat nichts gefehlt!Absolut weiter zu empfehlen.
A wonderful cottage.Comfortable, so dog friendly, all the amenities you could ask for.Incredibly quiet with views of Loch Ness that changed every hour, and just five minutes walk in to the village centre. We will most definitely be back.
My grandparents purchased Lilybank back in 1968, after years of holidaying in Scotland and falling in love with the area. It has given four generations of my family great memories of holidays in one of the most beautiful corners of the world. Three of us even claim to have caught sight of that illusive monster during those years! I took over the management of the cottage two years ago and have enjoyed updating Lilybank as a holiday home for today's holiday maker.
Lilybank has been a much loved family holiday home for over 50 years. It is a special place in a wonderful location. The house feels cosy but spacious and has recently been updated with new kitchen and bathrooms. It is a place for building memories with wonderful day trips out or days just sitting in the garden, perhaps even braving a dip in the loch or river. Rainy days at Lilybank can be spent in front of the woodburner, playing board games or getting stuck into a good book (there are plenty to choose from in the house). Find a different walk everyday in the stunning countryside, have a meal at a local pub (the Loch Inn has an amazing number of Whiskies to try), dip your toes (or more if you're feeling really brave) in the lochs and rivers and generally soak up the marvellous and majestic highland scenery.
