Family-friendly vacation rentals in Fort Augustus

We stayed at Mackenzie House as part of a Hen weekend. The house was amazing and exactly what we needed! The surrounding area was gorgeous and we all loved being surrounded by the deer and other wildlife!

Susan was great with info about the house and very quick to reply to messages. We had a great weekend and the house and all the amenities were perfect for us. Thank you

We had a great time here. The location was great for us (easy drives to Fort William, Glencoe, and Kinlochmore). The home is very clean and in a perfect location. We were able to walk to dinner one night, and we were able to visit great locations in all different direction from the home. Every drive is along water with beautiful scenery all around. On Day 1 we drove 30 min North, where we hiked to Steall Waterfall before having lunch in Fort William. Afternoon at Ben Nevis Distillery followed by a gondola ride at Nevis Range for some afternoon hiking. Day 2 we drove 15 min East to Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall, lunch in Kinlochleven, and an afternoon hike around Glencoe Lochan. Day 3, we drove 15 min East to the Three Sisters area, where we enjoyed our favorite hike of the trip, Hidden Valley. We also visited Skyfall Waterfall and explored Glen Etive. I will definitely stay here again the next time I’m lucky enough to visit Scotland. Mary is incredible and a great host! Beautiful home!

Kristy’s place was great. Had everything we needed. Comfortable, quiet, kitchen was complete. Hot tub was very nice!! Kristy met us at check in and it simple and straightforward. Would be delighted to be there again!

Fantastic place for a family get together. Plenty of space and great location. Linda was great to deal with and would highly recommend staying at Balnacraig. Second time there and hopefully not the last.

Wonderful accommodation and hosts. The location and views are amazing, the house itself has a great layout with loads of space and very homely. The garden is brilliant, especially for children and the hot tub went down a treat. Alan and family were very welcoming and gave some nice personal touches which were greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay again.

Fabulous location, fabulous property, wonderful hosts. Will definitely be back.

I had an amazing stay!The place was stunning,extremely beautiful, quiet, and peaceful with breathtaking views. All the amenities were exactly as described, and everything was clean and comfortable. The small town nearby (just a 10-minute drive) was charming and convenient for anything I needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

This is our 4th visit to Railway cottage and it won’t be our last. It’s well placed for driving in to Aviemore, Newtonmore, Kincraig and Kingussie and there are walks you can do from the door. It’s a cosy and welcoming place to stay and very comfortable. There are lots of activities on the nearby estates including quad biking, horse riding, zip wires, canyoning, clay pigeon shooting and archery. Lots of good places to eat too.

The apartment has one bedroom with a queen size bed and another tiny one with a twin bed. The living room is very large with a well-equipped kitchen on one side. The hallway at the main entrance is spectacular and puts you in a positive mood as soon as you get in the building. There is available street parking at any hour in front of the building. Communicating with Audrey is very easy and she is ready to help and very flexible. The area is charming and we learned to appreciate it more with every day. Most probably you would have to drive around and the roads in countryside UK are extremely narrow and driving on the other side makes it more stressful. This was our first stay during the trip and once we got the hang of driving around, Kirkmichael is very beautiful with rolling hills and many wooden areas. Herds of deer roam around. We definitely enjoyed our stay in Audrey's apartment.

We had a great experience staying with Chris and Susan, and would highly recommend this to anyone in the area - head and shoulders above hotels at a similar price point. We stayed for 3 nights, looking for a base between Fort William and Glencoe for hiking. The cottage is very well located for what we had planned and was a welcome break from the string of damp and dingy hotels that we had stayed in beforehand. The place is very well equipped, with a smart TV in case the weather takes a turn and everything you could need for home cooking and lunch prep (which was a huge bonus for our hikes). If you are lucky with the weather, there’s even space to eat outside and enjoy the incredible views. The cottage was clean and well maintained and although we didn’t have any issues, Chris and Susan clearly care about ensuring everything meets their standards. If we ever come back to the Highlands, we will look to stay again!

We stayed here last year, and decided to come again this year. Still as beautiful, peaceful and secluded as last time! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay (despite the weather). The upkeep of the property has been maintained to a high standard, was very clean and easily accessible with clear instructions. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful house with stunning surroundings. Easy to walk everywhere. To the brewery, ti rhe local shop and pub and to the boat tha cross to Skye. I have felt at home. Murdoch was very communicative and wanted to make sure we have all the amenities we needed. I cannot fault our stay.

Craigrowan Croft is a lovely place to stay - Grant and Laura seem to have thought of everything. Underfloor heating is great, really good shower and nice to try out a Jacuzzi bath. There is ancient oak woodland close by and some good local walks. We didn't have great weather but managed to fill our time in an enjoyable way. We went to the Ariundle Centre (close by) a couple of times and had nice lunch/evening meal.

A lovely stay at Blaeberry Cottage. It had everything I needed for a 3 night stay, very well equipped and very clean. A lovely garden for the dog to roam around. Would definitely recommend!

We had an amazing time in Newtonmore. The apartment is beautifully furnished, spotless, warm and very comfortable in a great location. Very good communication from Dianne. Thank you!

This Airbnb exceeded our expectations! The location was breathtaking, with scenic views and easy access to local attractions. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and perfectly appointed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

Another wonderful stay here. Cozy, comfortable caravan with a beautiful, peaceful view. Spotlessly clean, great shower, comfy sofas, helpful hosts. Perfect for watching the world go by outside. Can't wait to return next year!

Fantastic place to stay, quiet and friendly. Ideal for families and pet owners.

Great visit, accommodations were nice and rooms were clean. Our kids loved playing by the river and walking the trails. We had several lovely meals, especially enjoyed the boathouse restaurant nearby. We had an unexpected late arrival and the host helped us check in remotely without a hitch.

We loved our stay at the old abbey - we felt a bit like Harry Potter at Hogwarts. The apartment was clean, well equipped and very spacious. The abbey's outdoor area is a dream and the pool is wonderful!

Fabulous stay on Lismore. The Bunkhouse is in a stunning setting and we loved that it was so comfortable, cosy but also environmentally sustainable. Mike was super helpful and gave us lots of helpful advice about things to do on the island. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely magical! We loved our stay.
